Tuesdays are big in entertainment-ville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix [1], but new music also pours into stores, including iTunes. So I take a spin through each week's iTunes music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. Here are today's selections:

When geeks are right: I chose that intro phrase because that's what one of the coolest songs [2] from The Faint's new album, Fasciinatiion [3], is all about. If you've never listened to this new-wave band before, this album might be a strange introduction (I'd recommend checking out their earlier album Blank-Wave Arcade [4] instead). That said, I'm really fascinated (get it?!) by this new album and have already added the first track, "Get Seduced," [5] to my iPod.

The music of the pants: If you're like me, you might want to add the soundtrack [6] of the new Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movie [7] to the soundtrack of your life. I've seen the movie and enjoyed it (more on that later) and am having a good time reliving some of the scenes via these tracks, which include a pretty Aqualung [8] song, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" [9] by Cyndi Lauper, a fun head-banger [10] from the Noisettes and a totally romantic ballad [11] from Mutemath [12].

One more new release to check out so .

A new contemporary songstress: Amazon [13] tells me that people who love new artist Mandi Perkins also love Jewel and Alanis Morrisette. I might add Natalie Merchant and Tracy Chapman to that list. Perkins has a considerable following on MySpace [13] and has been featured on MTV shows like — you guessed it! — The Hills. That makes sense, because her heavy, emotional lyrics and sweeping melodies on songs like "Why Pretend" [14] would be helpful filler for when LC and Audrina can't seem to find the right words and instead just make eyes at one another.
