What to Download: New Music on iTunes
Tuesdays are big in entertainment-ville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, 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:
Psychedelic Beck: The buzz around Beck's new album, Modern Guilt, is really, really good, and he's just the sort of artist to give voice (and music) to some of the most troubling and complex issues of our time.
BuzzSugar's Must Haves for July
Well, July may not be the biggest book release time of the year (go figure), and it's a little weak on the music, too — but there are still plenty of entertainment options capturing my attention this month. My must haves include Summer escapism in an air-conditioned movie theater, an interesting read, a trip to the '60s, and one musical beacon whose new album has me excited. To see my picks for July, hit "Start."

Song of the Day: Beck, "Forget Marie"
Though I'm not exactly a Beck fanatic, I do own all of his albums, and I appreciate the musician's expert ability to dabble in so many genres. Most recently, he's handing us an experiment in country music in the form of a cover tune: "Forget Marie," written by the recently deceased Lee Hazlewood.
Recorded in Nashville and now streaming on Beck's homepage, the ambling cowboy tune will appeal to fans of Beck ballads.
