Here are some recent album releases you should consider putting on your iPod:

Alicia Wade

1.”Necessary Evil” by Deborah Harry. I’m totally there for anything the lead singer of Blondie puts out, just so long as it all sounds vaguely like “Heart of Glass.”

2.”In Rainbows” by Radiohead. OK, so I’m not even a fan of Radiohead, but any group elitist enough to let fans name their own price for an album has some chutzpah.

Jakina Hill

1. “Brave” by Jennifer Lopez. True fans will not be disappointed.

2. “Heroes and Thieves” by Vanessa Carlton. Anyone who goes Gotti has to at least go gold.

Audra Ord

1. “Chase This Light” by Jimmy Eat World. Though it’s not their best, it’s still worth a listen.

2. “Avenged Sevenfold” by Avenged Sevenfold. More along the lines of “Beast and the Harlot”? Bring it on!
