New Music Tuesday: March 18, 2007

the cover screams artistic integrity

This week's new releases feature quite a few unknown artist for me, but it's okay. Like Maxim magazine I don't need to hear the music to judge it*. Just kidding, but seriously, i've never listened to most of the artists this week or even heard of half of them.

First up is Danity Kane with Welcome To The Dollhouse. The group was formed through master mogul P. Diddy's MTV reality show - Making The Band. They're like a less talented (is that possible?) female version of O-Town.

I was ready to write a bit on new-comer Flo Rida and Mail On Sunday but just remembering O-Town has, like its members, drained me of any and all creativity. On to the bullet points!

  • Soundboy Rock - Groove Armada
  • Heroes Soundtrack - Various
  • Texas - Playradioplay!
  • Midnight Boom - The Kills
  • Trouble In Dreams - Destroyer (terrific solo stuff from New Pornographers collaborator)
  • Hits - New Found Glory
  • Goodbye Blues - The Hush Sound


*If you don't know the story already you can read the MSNBC article here. OR, read on to see me condense the situation into one long run on sentence. Basically Maxim magazine wrote a review on The Black Crowes new album Warpaint and gave it an extremely low rating which perturbed the Crowes because they hadn't sent an advance copy to Maxim for review and when they called them on it Maxim began back peddling saying it was a preview and not intended to be a final review which makes little sense since they had nothing to preview in the first place and now the incident has raised speculation on the validity of past Maxim reviews which brings me to my point and this sentences conclusion - Maxim is SHIT! Stick to half naked ladies and leave music alone you cads.
