HOT TOP SELLERS
***************
"Nightlife"
Pet Shop Boys
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000021XT8/entertainmentsit
"Nightlife" is quite possibly the Pet Shop Boys' best album
so far. Lyrically direct, lush, and, of course, wildly
danceable, these songs are written for and about all aspects
of the album's title: what happens when the boys hit the
nightclubs, and when they go home afterwards.

"There Is Nothing Left to Lose"
Foo Fighers
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000020617/entertainmentsit
Keeping the postgrunge torch burning strong,
Nirvana-drummer-turned-lead-vocalist Dave Grohl and his Foo
Fighters temper their aggro-punk sound with subtle musical
nuances and a greater sense of melody. And the fact that the
album still totally rocks out makes "There Is Nothing Left
to Loose" the band's most well-developed release so far.

"This Desert Life"
Counting Crows
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00002JXF8/entertainmentsit
The Counting Crows disguise their melancholic introspection
on "This Desert Life" with an upbeat collection of tunes
that strike a balance between folk, rock, and alt-country.
It's a great change of pace for the group, and a welcome
addition to the growing number of alternative acts looking
toward American roots music for inspiration.

"The Science of Things"
Bush
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00002EITV/entertainmentsit
With "The Science of Things" Bush uphold the sage advice
"Don't fix it if it isn't broken." No surprises here, as
expectedly Gavin Rossdale plunges his forlorn lyrics with
Brit-grunge fervor. A touch of electronic industrial music
gives the album a slick surface that fans of the band will
dig.

"Looking Forward"
Crosby, Still, Nash, and Young
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000021XQS/entertainmentsit
"Looking Forward" started off as a CSN album. But an
encounter with Neil Young led to the recording of only the
third studio album by CSNY in three decades. With their
fanciful fourth member aboard, the quartet recapture some of
the magic that made them America's first great supergroup.

WE GOT NEXT: NOT-YET-RELEASED CDS
*********************************
"Midnite Vultures"
Beck
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000030009/entertainmentsit
The groundbreaking oddball who made the blues-funk-rock
crossover commonplace comes at us again with an album that
will certainly be as imitated as his others.

"When the Pawn..."
Fiona Apple
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00002MZ4W/entertainmentsit
The title of Fiona Apple's new album is actually 90 words
long, but the throaty, bold, and sexy songs on her new
release aren't nearly as long-winded.

"Sacred Arias"
Andrea Bocelli
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00002ND9N/entertainmentsit
Considered a near deity among vocal music fans, the beloved
tenor Andrea Bocelli offers 16 sacred songs in time for the
holidays.

"Live: Tuesdays Thursdays Saturdays"
Jimmy Buffett
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00002NDB6/entertainmentsit
Jimmy Buffett's new live album is a beach-party pick-me-up
any day of the week.

"Affirmation"
Savage Garden
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00002MZ2T/entertainmentsit
The Australian duo found fame after Rosie O'Donnell's public
accolade of their insuppressibly catchy single "I Want You,"
and they hope to sustain it with "Affirmation."

"The Sounds of Science"
Beastie Boys
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00002NDUA/entertainmentsit
Fans won't want to miss this 42-track anthology of hits,
rarities, and unreleased material.
