To say that I was disheartened by Vanessa Carlton's third album, Heroes & Thieves, would be an understatement. It sounded forced to the point that it was almost unpleasant to listen to sometimes. However, I enjoyed Carlton's previous albums enough to simply wait for her next album, hoping it would be better. Four years after the release of Heroes & Thieves, Vanessa Carlton has finally come out with a new album. Rabbits on the Run was released on July 26, 2011, and it was a pleasant surprise.

New Release: Tristan Clopet (Name It What You Want)
Nothing screams summer louder than Florida beaches; to be more specific, I should say Miami beaches. I know Will Smith had his vision of Miami and I have mine, so let’s keep it that way. Rather than send yours truly on assignment to the Sunshine State, a piece of it came to visit me from our friend Tristan Clopet.

Musicovery
Looking for a unique way to discover new music? I stumbled upon Musicovery.com and was immediately swept in by its innovative and effective design.
Musicovery is a music bank, organized in a way that you might not have seen before. Are you familiar with political compasses? They tell you just how far left or right you fall on the economic scale, but also whether you tend to fall on the libertarian side or the authoritarian side. What's this got to do with music? On Musicovery, you "pick" your music by moving the cursor on two distinctive "musical" compasses.

Love, Music, and Memories
In my continuing exploration of music and the memories that it creates, my study heads to affairs of the heart. If you look at newly released Song Journals, you will see that many people share their feelings about songs and loves they still have or have lost to the sands of time.
These same feelings were evident in the responses I received as I interviewed people from around the globe:
Patti Wood, The Body Language Expert:
In junior high, I remember standing up against the wall at a big school dance feeling so lonely and humiliated because no
