Hey guys,

It’s my favorite day of the week, new releases Tuesday! And this week sees new releases from dreamy John Mayer, Katy Perry, and Snow Patrol.

John Mayer is releasing his fourth studio album, Battle Studies today. To celebrate, we’re broadcasting a very special webcast of John Mayer performing at an exclusive aftershow on David Letterman. The Live on Letterman webcast will be at 8 p.m. sharp on Thursday, November 19. You can get more information here. I am so excited for this album, especially since we started playing the brand new single “Heartbreak Warfare.” I wrote once before how Mayer is using this brand new augmented reality technology for the video for “Heartbreak Warfare.” Watch him talk about it here.

In the tradition of bands like Nirvana and Alanis Morrisette before her, Katy Perry continues the tradition of MTV Unplugged performances. Today she’ll release a CD/DVD version of the performance she did for the music network. During the performance she covers Fountains of Wayne as well as plays a brand new song called “Brick by Brick.”

Snow Patrol is releasing a doozy of a best-of album today that features 30 tracks spanning the career of the UK band. The release titled, Up to Now also features a DVD of a documentary on the band as well as unreleased live footage. Now if you’re a superfan for Snow Patrol, you purchase the ultimate limited edition version of the collection, and get two DVD’s, three CDs, three vinyl albums as well as a booklett. Sounds totally awesome!

In other cool news, on December 14th, San Francisco’s Bentley Reserve is hosting the launch party for a nonprofit organization founded by Third Eye Blind’s Stephan Jenkins called True Meaning. The organization aims to help end world hunger. As part of the event, the Third Eye Blind will be playing a very special acoustic set to help kickstart the agency. Read Jenkin’s personalized note below to find out how to attend the event:

Thanks for listening and have a happy new release Tuesday!

Peace,
Intern Kelly
