What to Download: New Music on iTunes

Tuesdays are big in entertainmentville: 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:

Man band: Well, they are all grown-up and reunited, and it feels so good. OK, it's also a slowish music day, but I've been pretty curious to sample the new New Kids on the Block CD, The Block (heh). The album's not bad and is in fact pulling in some decent reviews. The LA Times said the Kids have definitely matured due to the "surprising strength of most of the material." I really like "Twisted" (no really! I do!) and "Click Click Click" is actually, like, pretty! Overall, I'm enjoying the CD and will potentially exercise to a lot of these tracks.

Nashville star: Brooke Waggoner is a piano-playing singer-songwriter out of Nashville who reminds me in a lot of ways of Regina Spektor. Her new album, Healing for the Honey, is out exclusively on iTunes today and explores themes of heartbreak and healing. One song, "The Wrong," is a gorgeous break-up song that I must have for my own. "Young Friend" is a great track as well. Check her out!

One more album up next so

read more. Austrian electro-pop: Madita, an Austrian pop singer and actress, released a new single today called "Better Brother" and I think it's quite catchy. Her voice is unique and this is certainly danceable. Take a listen and let me know what you think!

Will You Go See the New Kids on the Block On Tour?

Well, as of this morning's announcement on the Today Show, it's really official: The New Kids on the Block have reunited, confirming the rumors from earlier this year. The former heartthrobs - who seem like they shouldn't be called "new kids" anymore, but oh well - will record a new album and head out on tour. Donnie Wahlberg promised: "We’re going to dance, we’re going to sing, we’re going to do it all."

Judging from the crowd's reaction on Today, it seems like the guys still have some fans. Check out the video and let me know: will you go see them on tour?
