CD Releases (Week of April 29, 2008)

There’s a lot of new CDs out this week, including the long-awaited Madonna CD.  We’ll get to those in a minute.  First, though, I want to talk about the band Local H.  Most people didn’t know who Local H was but most people know their only real hit.  The funny thing is most people think it’s called ‘Copasetic.’ It’s not… It’s really called ‘Bound for the Floor.’  Either way, they have a new song that’s being released this week.  It’s called ‘24 Hour Break-Up Session.’  I haven’t heard the song yet, but I really want to.  (I just can’t right now because our engineer is in the studio and we’re not allowed to listen to streaming music!) So, I was able to sneak a 30-second sneak peak in and it sounded okay.  My first impressions on music normally aren’t the greatest, however.  I’d need to listen to more of it to get a good impression.  That brings me to the next song…

It’s by a band called ‘City Sleeps.’  The song is called ‘Not an Angel’ and I really didn’t like it at first.  After listening to it a bunch of times, I came around.  I actually think it’s a pretty cool song now and it’s worth checking out.

Let’s get to it, though.  It’s new CD time…
