More than Gene Simmons, more than Wilt Chamberlain, even more than James Bond&#8230; more than any other man I can think of, Jack Bauer was the hero women wanted to sleep with and men wanted to be.  In fact, more than a man has had a &#8216;mancrush&#8217; on Jack Bauer, ever since the first [...]]]></description>

Vampire Weekend
Contra
XL Recordings
Rating: 8.5/10 
Sophomore  albums from bands are always highly scrutinized. In anticipation of the new album, listeners are never quite sure if the band will think too much about what it&#8217;s going to do next, or if the recording is going be heavy-handed on studio overproduction.  After all, it seems like almost every [...]]]></description>

Third Eye Blind
Ursa Major
Sony RED Distribution
Rating: 6/10 
The last time Third Eye Blind released an album (2003&#8217;s Out of the Vein), mp3s hadn&#8217;t yet reached the ubiquity brought about by Apple&#8217;s iPod success.  Six years later, frontman Stephen Jenkins sings that his &#8220;mp3 is out of juice&#8221; on &#8220;Sharp Knife,&#8221; from the band&#8217;s fourth album, [...]]]></description>

 Doves
Kingdom of Rust
Astralwerks Records/EMI
Rating: 8.5/10 
It&#8217;s been four years since Manchester, UK-based band Doves released their last album, Some Cities.  Cities was a delightful romp around the Mancunian landscape &#8212; the manufacturing, working-class town where Jimi Goodwin and Jez and Andy Williams hail from.  (Notice, the romp is deemed &#8220;delightful,&#8221; though not necessarily &#8220;whimsical.&#8221;) [...]]]></description>

The new Radiohead album, In Rainbows, came out this morning (my confirmation code arrived at 1:30am; when I woke up at 3:30 to go to the bathroom, I downloaded it).  Having heard a few of the songs in bootleg forms during the past five years, the chance to hear the studio versions was all [...]]]></description>

Bear with me, I can&#8217;t contain my enthusiasm today. After a horrible subway ride to work this morning, I went through my usual litany of sites and saw on the BBC that, after a four year wait, the new Radiohead album, In Rainbows, would be released in only 10 days. That&#8217;s October 10. The blogs [...]]]></description>
