What you're about to read is a collection of pointers to some of the music I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store, music I like enough that I want to share it. If you're an iPod owner and an iTunes fan (and if you aren't, what are you doing here?), maybe you'll find something new. Click on any of the CD covers to bounce over to the store and sample a few tracks. And then maybe stop by my other blog for a few well chosen words (and maybe a random snark or two).RSS feed

Stephen Collins / Stephen Collins
I know that taking potshots at actors who put out albums is easy. I should be ashamed of myself.

But c'mon! The guy is the lead actor on the most unrealistic, most conservative show on television, a program so deserving of contempt it can only be enjoyed with tongue in cheek, preferably by reading the episode recaps on Television Without Pity. And his singing has all the nuance of his acting; has there ever been a more lifeless rendition of Will You Love Me Tomorrow? (By the way, does that last sentence need two question marks? One for the song title and the second to make my statement a question?) It's not that Mr. Collins can't carry a tune; he clearly can. He just doesn't seem to have any particular destination in mind.

According to Amazon, Mr. Collins is a triple threat, with two novels to his name in addition to his acting and singing triumphs. That puts him one up on David Hasselhoff. Then again, Mr. Collins can't claim to have unified a nation. He can't, can he?
