Happy Halloween folks! So the one thing I used to love about Halloween was the free candy and week long sugar highs. We all love free stuff so thank God for iTunes. I'm sure many of you know that iTunes has the free Single of the Week. For the most part, they do have some really good songs on there. I have found some of my favorite songs on there. They also feature up and coming artist every week. Sometimes they make it big (i.e. The Fray) and sometimes we'll never hear from them again. Let's support them so check them out. It's free. Who can beat that? Click play below to hear Shake It by Metro Station. It's a fun, upbeat alternative song. Unfortunately for you, not free anymore but you should buy it. It's only $.99, so let's stop being cheap and just download it.

New Release Tuesday was yesterday. What an exciting day in the world of music. Let's see who released an album yesterday:

1.) Backstreet Boys- Unbreakable: So does this really count as a Backstreet Boys CD? Kevin quit the band. I know, I know. When I heard this news last year, I was heart broken. The one Backstreet Boy who never had any solos is now gone from the group. Whatever. I'm over it.

So I can't say that I actually listened to this CD. I did preview the songs on iTunes and I must say, it' no where close to the greatness of "I Want It That Way" (Yes, I said greatness. Get over it. Everyone knows that song like the back of their hands. I'm sure a blind/deaf mute could sing that song). Pretty much every song was exactly the same; the only difference is that each track has a different name. It really is a shame. I bet they wish they had Justin Timberlake in their group. But after this album crash and burns, I think Nick Carter should come out with another season of House of Carters on E!. Or perhaps not. Maybe he should crash and burn with the CD.

2.) Insane Clown Posse- Jugganauts…Best of ICP: I have no idea why I'm even mentioning this amazing group of clowns. Perhaps it's either 1.) They are by far the greatest thing to come out of Detroit, Michigan (besides me of course) in the last 50 years or 2.) They are the poster child of white trash? I think I'm going to pick door #2. If you're a fan of ICP, then we might have a problem. I honestly don't get what appeal these people have. I wish I could write a song called "Boogie Woogie Wu" or "I Want My Shit" and instantly become famous. Unfortunately for us, ICP won't be returning to their trailer parks anytime soon. Sigh.

3.) Britney Spears- Blackout: So most of you are sports fans, and I know you're all wondering how this CD turned out. To be completely honest, it's not as bad as it should be.Given she's had a pretty awful year, we would expect her to produce an album as bad as her personal life. But it's simply not the case. She managed to release an album that is going to be considered one of the best pop albums of the year. She used a slew of different producers including Bloodshy and Advant (Toxic, Toy Soldiers) and the Neptunes, to help her regain her reign as one of the greatest pop icons in music history. Perhaps if she keeps her legs closed and doesn't drink herself to death, we'll be able to see Britney strut around half naked with a python again. Sigh.


Have a great and safe Halloween! Until next time, I leave you with another Tres Piece masterpiece. Enjoy!
