New Releases for Tuesday, June 19, 2007

Your recommended new releases for this given Tuesday, June 19, 2007:



The White Stripes - Icky Thump: It's riff-tastic. That's my new word.



Art Brut - It's a Bit Complicated - A bit poppier than the last LP.



Bon Jovi - Lost Highway - Not to be confused with the David Lynch film of the same name, this is listed for pure spectacle. Bon Jovi used to be awesome. Now, he's doing Nashville records that slander Nashville's reputation.



The Mooney Suzuki - Have Mercy

Live Earth Shut Out of Tourist D.C.

Live Earth has been shut out of Washington, DC, thanks in part to Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) who has called global warming "the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people." The Senator objected to "having any events on the Capitol grounds that are either highly partisan or politically controversial - and the proposed Gore concert is both."

The event is scheduled to take place on July 7 (7/7/07), and is planned to have an event on all seven continents, including Antarctica. While Al Gore and other organizers proposed the Live Earth concert event, featuring Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Black Eyed Peas, Bon Jovi and others, on Washington's National Mall, it doesn't look like the political/tourist area of DC is any longer an option.
