Online retailer Amazon is holding a promotion through the end of July in which customers can purchase mp3 albums for only 5 dollars! There are 100 albums available for this low price through Amazon with an assortment of artists and styles.
If you are looking for some new jams for the week or for later down the road, swing over to Amazon and check out the vast collection.
Glancing over the list of 5 dollar albums, here are some of the recordings that stand out to me as worthy download material if you don't already have a copy.
Broken Bells by Broken Bells
Gimme Fiction by Spoon
Oracular Spectacular by MGMT
Manners by Passion Pit
Futuresex/Lovesounds by Justin Timberlake
Homework by Daft Punk
There are plenty of other great albums on the list not mentioned above. Be sure to check out all hundred and find yourself a steal!

And I can recommend The Shins "Wincing the Night Away," Brandi Carlile "Give up the Ghost," and John Butler Trio "April Uprising."
"Best of the Cutting Crew" is also available, but seems extremely overpriced at $5!!!

Actually, they do this every month. Each month 100 different albums are on sale for $5.00. Keep in mind these are downloads and not CD's. I've bought quite a few over the years and the only downside I have come across is that when downloading a live recording, you are actually downloading all the tracks individually, so there is a break between every song. This is kind of annoying if you like the continuity of a live show.

I must say that MGMT "Oracular Spectacular" and Justin Timberlake's "Futuresex / Lovesongs" are two of my favorite albums to put on and dance!
Great way to LEGALLY get music!
I'm not sure why Pete Yorn decided to name his new music project after a European cave dwelling aquatic salamander, but if he stops by to play us some songs in Studio M, we'll have to ask him.

Today's song was written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. It was inspired by the 1957 novel Doctor Zhivago. No one was inspired by the song this morning. It was rejected by almost all the listeners.
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture.
I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons.
1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels.
2) I used to...
Hello to all from Nfusion. Another round of challenges has moved beyond us all. Congrats to those of us lucky enough to have survived to this point. Sad to see the others eliminated as they were all very creative and talented. Good Bye to our new friends...

John Fogerty is making the talk show rounds this week, stopping in to see David Letterman Tuesday and Wednesday, and the ladies of "The View" on Thursday.
He's promoting his new album, "Wrote a Song For Everyone" which comes out next Tuesday...
It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
