Plenty of new music for you on this Tuesday!

Posted: 11:10 AM ET

Today is Tuesday, and that means new CD releases. We’ve got a bunch too, including Blues Traveler, Little Feat, Slipknot and one of my favorites–The Verve. The Verve’s latest album “Forth” is essentially a comeback effort after an eight-year absence. There’s plenty of sneer and pop to go around on the album. Check out the single “Love Is Noise."

Another release today is from “The Lost Trailers.” I’m more into “classic country” but Robin loves these guys and says their hit “Holler Back” is all over the radio. In fact, she loves them so much, she plans to hang out with the band this weekend! Don’t worry though, you’ll be able to check it all out on an upcoming podcast.

As an aside, every time I go online to checkout the upcoming releases, it always reminds me of when I was a kid... when it wasn’t so easy to find out who was coming out with an album and when. I always had to ask the record store clerk and hope that he/she wasn’t in a grumpy mood. They’d loom over me as I’d scan the printout, and make mental notes. Did any of you music geeks do that too? Ah… it’s so much easier now.

I would spend hours and hours going through the bins at my local record shop. The owner would get monthly updates on what was being released and post it on the wall. The problem was his distributor only sent him updates for Atlantic and Columbia records. If the artist you were looking for was on any other label it was time to hit the counter. If it was before noon the owner would growl,"If you know your ABC's go look and see."
Ah...the smell of my old vinyl brings back some great memories. I think I'll go dig some up. Oh, you're right the new Verve is tight!
