Pay-What-You-Want For Albums: Great Idea or "Idiotic"?

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. In addition to my selections below you can download new albums from Pink and Snow Patrol.
Start Your Week With New Music From Snow Patrol, The Cure
Need to dial up something new on your headphones to get you through Monday? I know I've had a hankering for some new music, and today we're in luck: New albums from The Cure and Snow Patrol are streaming online now.
Snow Patrol's new album, A Hundred Million Suns, is streaming on the band's MySpace page.
Harrison Ford Goes from Indy to Crowley
After the major success of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, one might be wondering, "What's next for the adorably endearing Harrison Ford?" (Besides recently winning that Guys Choice Award there.) Well, this just in, folks: Ford will next be seen in the dramatic film Crowley. Zap2It has more:
The project is based on Geeta Anand's The Cure, which focuses on John and Aileen Crowley, whose two children have a rare genetic disorder.
Love It or Leave It: The Cure's "The Only One"
"The Only One" is the first of four tracks we'll get from The Cure's next album before its September release, and it's pretty catchy. I just love that The Cure is still at it, going strong with their signature sounds. I also find that I grow fonder of this song with repeated listens.
