Where Hip Comes to Die

New Music Tuesday (or NMT for those in the know)

Tuesdays make me feel funny in my belly. Especially when Tuesday brings such glorious treats like Bob Dylan’s new CD Modern Times (buy it at insound!). Modern Times picks up where 2001’s brilliant Love and Theft left off. More meditations on life, death & the state of the world (you know… standard Dylan fare) laid over swampy tracks filled with melodies that sound like they’re crawling off of a barroom floor.

Game Theory from the legendary Roots crew also drops today. A decidedly darker affair than the disappointing The Tipping Point, this album leans in a less commercial direction and provides more room for ?uestlove & crew to breathe and work their magic.

Everyones favorite ditzy blonde lets loose A Public Affair today and is already proving to disappoint fans the world over… just look at the customer reviews on Amazon. A Public Affair finds Jessica trying to update her style a little bit and hop on some new trends such as 80’s fetishism… unfortunately she’s just a bit slow, and her cover of “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)” just isn’t going to cut it.

Somewhere Beavis and Butthead are rocking out to Beyond Hell the latest from cartoon shock metal gods, Gwar. It doesn’t matter if you love Gwar or hate Gwar, the point of this band of art school pals was never to record great music but to provide the music world with its very own Tales from the Crypt. Sure its vicious and ultra violent, but its so cartoony that you could never take it seriously.
