New at Online Stores
Though it's not in stores until next Tuesday, Bloc Party's Silent Alarm Remixed is for sale at iTunes, Rhapsody, MSN Music and possibly other online stores that I didn't bother to check.
Rejoice, pop fans. Ashlee Simpon's single "Boyfriend" is now at iTunes, MSN Music and others.
Rhapsody has an exclusive a live version of the Bob Dylan song "Boots of Spanish Leather." It's not on the new No Direction soundtrack. I wish I could find out if this song will eventually be available at other stores. Bob's website is of no help.
Rhapsody has added Sonny Rollins' Without a Song (The 9/11 Concert). I haven't even given it a cursory listen yet but what few parts I heard sound pretty good.
New singles at the usual online stores are "Why Go?" by Faithless (iTunes link) and "Our House" by Phantom Planet (iTunes link), a cover of the Crosby, Stills & Nash classic, not the Madness song.
New at eMusic are Greg Dulli's Amber Headlights (One Little Indian), Joan Baez's Bowery Songs (Koch), Sloan's Navy Blues (Koch) and One Chord To Another (Koch) and Llasa's superb The Living Road (Nettwerk).
eMusic has a page dedicated to the Ethiopiques series on Buda Musique. This is some of the best music available on eMusic. Every volume is at least great and some are incredible.
One podcast worth checking out at iTunes is KEXP's live performance of Boom Bap Project.
