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

Collective good: The new Animal Collective album is getting a lot of praise and buzz already. In fact, one reviewer even declared, "The first great album of 2009 has arrived." I am already really enjoying tracks including "My Girls" and "Brother Sport." Take a listen for yourself and let me know if you think this is the best 2009 has to offer so far!

Breakout time? I've noted before that Andrew Bird's record label hopes this album makes him a breakout star, and there are certainly songs on here that are catchy enough to make their way to the mainstream. Check out tracks like "Fitz and the Dizzyspells" and "Not a Robot But a Ghost" for a taste of those breakout elements folks are talking about and "Anonanimal" for classic Bird wordplay.

One more still to come, so read more.

A new pretty and quirky pop voice: I'd never heard of Anya Marina, whose new album is out today, until I gave her songs a whirl just now, but they're all super cute. Her voice is delicate and youthful, and her pop hooks have just enough quirk to make them distinctive. I couldn't resist sharing my discovery! Check out "All the Same to Me" and "Cowboy" for a taste of what I'm loving about this artist.
