CD Releases (Week of May 13, 2008)

All kinds of good stuff this week in the new CD releases post…

First, how about new songs by The Offspring and Weezer.  The Offspring have a new song out called ‘Hammerhead’ and I absolutely love it.  It’s like three songs in one and they all seem to flow into each other perfectly.  Nice work and welcome back Offspring.  The other song that’s new is Weezer’s ‘Pork and Beans.’  I like this song as well.  There’s only one gripe I have about it.  In the song, there’s a line that goes as follows…

Timbaland knows the way to reach the top of the charts… Maybe if I work with him I can perfect the art.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great that they’re giving props to Timbaland, but I think that would’ve been a great place for Timbaland to make a cameo in the song.  How cool would it have been if after that line, they break it down and throw a little rap in there?  That’s just my theory.

As I’m writing this post, I’m listening to Death Cab for Cutie’s new song.  It’s called ‘I Will Possess Your Heart’ and it comes out on the ‘Narrow Stairs’ CD on Tuesday.  If I could recommend one of the following to pick up, it’d be that one.

Anyway, here you go.  New CDs…
