NEW MUSIC FOR JULY 21st, 2009

Another snooze week, including few highlights. Among them, the full-scale release of the new Cheap Trick album "The Latest", which has been available direct from the band and Amazon for a month (although only as a high-end CDR). A collection of new recordings of old, but previously unreleased, songs, "The Latest" has long-time fans raving.

A new Fiery Furnaces release will be big with the indiekids, while marginally talented Brooke Hogan releases yet another album in her plan to take over a small corner of south Florida. The airbrushed on the side of a van cover is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Ian Hunter releases a new and already highly acclaimed album this week in advance of the Mott The Hoople reunion dates.

Kid Rock's huge album of last year is re-released with two extra tracks, which seems pretty odd considering his fan-friendly stance regarding itunes, etc.

The vultures circle the King of Poop's grave a bit more with the re-release of a remix album no one wanted in the first place, and Nick Lowe has a new boxed set of his last three albums that will remind us how much we love "Pure Pop For Now People" and how concerned we are that the long-promised "Labour Of Lust" reissue is still needed.

We hear this new Jordin Sparks album is a career breakthru, and that the Sugar Ray reunion album is not.

We aren't sure who asked for new albums from Stryper and Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs as both of their last albums were underwhelming, even considering the limited appeal of both projects. Both are more relevant than Motley Crue's re-released late 90's live album, which adds nothing and is seemingly only being made available for the one guy who doesn't live near a pawn shop or used record store where he could fish out multiple copies from the .99 cent bin.

Finally, "We The Kings" release a new EP, which presumably means they have written another song as good as Juliet or S-Curve wouldn't bother. Looking forward to it.
