Speak Now by Taylor Swift was released today and is already rocketing to the top of the iTunes charts. Give the track a listen and let us know what you think. The album Speak Now releases October 25th but you can get the singles Mine and Speak Now today.
With only 20 days until the release of the much anticipated album 'Speak Now' by Taylor Swift ordering options and special packages are starting to arise. With a new song being released today, (to be posted later) we thought it would be appropriate to post on one package including special bonus tracks on the album.
One of the best deals out there is the Speak Now delux edition CD including the music video for Mine along with some behind the scenes footage. The CD also has bonus tracks including some acoustic versions of songs already on the album.
Speak Now releases worldwide on October 25th.

On Saturday September 25th Merriwether Post Pavilion was alive with the sounds and cheers of 20,000 people all seeing 18 bands for absolutely free. The fifth annual Virgin Mobile Festival was held this year under the slogan, "let free ring" and by making the festival free, it meant there were going to be some fantastic sponsors. Of course there were Virgin Mobile phones you could test out as well as a "text to get your fortune" throne, complete with fortune teller. Personally my favorite sponsor was the Skatepark of Baltimore ramp and tent. If you made a small donation you'd get ice cold water and avoid the $4 water sold by the venue but you could also watch skateboarders in action, displaying their talent for 20,000 people who passed by.
The real reason everyone was there though was not for the sponsors, it was for the music. At Free Fest there was something for everyone. Rappers, Rockers, Techno, Easy Listening, it was there and all spread out during the ongoing festival.
Since the line-up was first announced I knew that I had to see Joan Jett live, because who knows when I'd ever get this chance again. During her performance some people criticized her entrance, or lack there of. A few people were turned off by the fact that at the beginning of her set, all she did was run on stage and tune her guitar before she began to play. This moment however was one of my favorite parts because it showed how down to earth she really is. I was a little concerned about how Joan would sound due to her age, but all worry vanished when she began to sing her first song, Bad Reputation. If I got anything out of the day it was seeing Joan Jett for a set that only comes around once in a lifetime.
So, that was my take on the fantastic day at the Virgin Mobile Free Festival. Stay tuned and you'll hear dad's take on the day.
Spoiler Alert: He's going to talk about Chromeo A LOT

Just getting off their exclusive acoustic run on the Vans Warped Tour along with some time on the road with Hanson the band A Rocket To The Moon has been able to keep themselves busy. If you don't know ARTTM then you're not one of their 34 million + listeners who visit their vibrant aqua myspace page. Basing their music on a four person band ARTTM is the perfect band to compliment the sounds of pop/punk band All Time Low. ARTTM will be joining ATL as well as City Comma State on the mostly sold out Small Package Tour starting in exactly two weeks. If you're one of the lucky few people to make it out to the show be sure to pay extra special attention to A Rocket To The Moon.

The covers released seem to getting better and better in anticipation of the 11.2.10 release of Punk Goes Pop 3.
Check back here every Monday for the newest release off the album.
The always fun loving Never Shout Never released their music video for trampoline today. The obvious concept for the video is that it would be filmed with the members of the band and friends having fun on none other than a trampoline. Keeping it simple and fun this video is a winner.
This Tuesday will be a Glee episode for the record books at the show centers around the Princess of pop Britney Spears. In anticipation of the episode the full cast cover of Toxic has been released and it seems the cast of Glee isn't missing a beat. Be sure to watch the episode featuring Britney herself Tuesday at 8 pm on FOX.
Dad here. Just caught a brilliant set of inventive modern primitive Rock from The Temper Trap. The primitive part was the multiple drummers and tribal beats, the modern part was the songwriting and spare angular guitar riffing. Great opener for the day! On to Trombone Shorty…
