Quick side note before I get to the new music: Has anyone else been watching the new season of "Entourage"? Unfortunately I do not have HBO, but our buddy Chris alerted me to fanpop.com, where you can watch full-length episodes (I don't know how "legal" this all is, so you didn't hear it from me. Hey, if HBO wants to pay me to write "Entourage" reviews, I will gladly add it to my service!).
I was hearing a lot of negative reviews about the new season before I got to catch up, but I have to say that I have really enjoyed the first two episodes.
Everyone has been complaining that the characters seem the same and it's starting to burn out, but I've felt just the opposite: Vince seems more dedicated to being a star and E's starting to become a real player in the showbiz scene. Yeah, Turtle is always going to be the same, and yeah, Drama is as annoying as ever (can we please be done with his online girlfriend?), but "Entourage" has always been one of those shows that I just sit back and enjoy.
Enough about that for now... Where was I?
Oh, yeah - new music coming out this fall! Entertainment Weekly.com just posted a feature on the "20 Fall Albums We Can't Wait to Hear". You can see their complete list here, but I just wanted to highlight a couple of them for you on our page (in order of release):
- John Legend - Evolver (Oct 28)
- David Archuleta - TBD (Nov 11)
- Ludacris - Theater of the Mind (Nov 11)
- Taylor Swift - Fearless (Nov 11)
- David Cook - TBD (Nov 18)
- Beyonce - TBD (Nov 18)
- Britney Spears - Circus (Dec 2)
- Kanye West - 808's and Heartbreak (Dec 16)
Some quick thoughts:
- With Archuleta, Ludacris, aaaand Taylor Swift, there will be something for everyone on November 11 (I'm interested to see if Swift can avoid the sophomore slump), and has there ever been a more appropriate album title in the history of time than "Circus" for Britney's next release?
- It's good to see some big names back on the board. I feel like we haven't heard from John Legend, Ludacris, Beyonce, and Kanye in a while so it's interesting to see them all releasing something new around the same time.
- Obviously people will be keeping an eye on the battle of the "American Idol" Davids in November. Runner-up Archuleta's album comes out on the 11th and the winner's will come out a week later on the 18th (I personally, think David Cook will have more to worry about with Beyonce that week, but that's just me).
- Oh, and finally, The Killers announced on their website yesterday that their new album "Day & Age" will be released on November 25 and their new single, "Human" will debut worldwide on September 22 (the digital release will be available on September 30).
Looks like it's going to be a good music season! Which album(s) are YOU most looking forward to?
Let us know...

Entourage is PERFECT so far...people can bite me.
You were 100% correct - Vince is dedicated for the FIRST time to A) make money, B) be a good actor (see insecurities in scene w Arie) and C) become a legit a star
E is legit which is the most fun new subplot...Drama is chill which is a total departure from his 'washed up' persona at the start of the series.
Exactly where do you want Turtle's character to develop? I don't see any Nobel Prizes coming his way. He just needs to stay out of the way.
Lastly, the entire crew is up in the air. We have no idea where things will land. I love it.
And, the Killers of course.
I legitimately laughed out loud while reliving that whole moment at monarch. the look on your face when he said "frasier" was heart wrenching :(
<3 you much!
