Luis Miguel: Complices - Latin Adult Contemorary music.

Red Hot Chili Ppeppers: Greatest Hits - Depending if you are fan of their more poppier stuff or the original Chili Peppers, this a stronger release than their original What Hits?! compilation back in the 90's. On the plus side, it has the amazing "Otherside". On the downside, it has "Soul to Squeeze" which was originally a throw away track that somehow made it on the throwaway movie The Coneheads.

Pink Floyd: Dark Side Of The Moon - There is too much to say about this album. Pink Floyd and Allan Parsons made a work of genius that inspired generations of kids to get high, attend Laserium shows, listen to Dark Side with the lights out, and sync it to the Wizard of Oz.

Diana Krall: Love Scenes - Now considered one of her classic albums, Diana Krall is considered to be a step above adult contemporary with true Jazz chops.

Spoon: Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga - "Rating: 8.5. With Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, Spoon have once again found a gray area between the poles of pop accessibility and untested studio theorizing, modifying a formula that has grown to feel familiar even as it wanders, and refusing to square the circle while doing so." - Pitchfork

Bonus Album

John Lennon: Imagine - This classic album of all too human musings and social consciousness has gotten the remastering treatment and is only $3.99 for today only.

It's never a good idea to plug a surge protector into a surge protector - and I know many of you (like me) do that because normal "wall wart" plugs suck up most of the space. Well, CompUSA has a great deal to resolve that: the Ultra 10 Outlet Surge Protector 2-Pack for $24.99.

Sure, you can plug a ton of three-prong plugs into the front, but the best part of this is the way the top is designed to hold 4 wall warts easily. Perfect for your instrument/effects plugs and the rest of your studio gear. Since you get two of these, you can place one at each end of your project studio.

Rhino's celebration of the Doors' extraordinary and mind-bending catalog continues with THE FUTURE STARTS HERE: THE ESSENTIAL DOORS HITS, the definitive single-disc anthology of their classic hits and landmark tracks. The twenty songs featured boast sonically brilliant 40th Anniversary remixes by Bruce Botnick, the band's longtime engineer/producer - in many cases they include parts recorded during the original sessions that were left out of the initial Doors releases. The project, now the only single-disc Doors “best of” available, was produced under the supervision of surviving members John Densmore, Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek. [read more]
