Who Pays for Music Anyway?

Tomorrow the new Hillary Duff album comes out, but I'm sure you all knew that, right? No offense to the former Disney star, but I'd suggest checking out the new Kings of Leon instead. Entitled Because of the Times, the album has already received some positive reviews from such luminary publications as Rolling Stone, The Guardian, and Filter. Don't believe me? That's okay; I'm a pretty unreliable guy.

Also, the new Maximo Park album, Our Earthly Pleasures, comes out today -- in the United Kingdom. America has to wait over a month for its stateside arrival. Boo.
