Music Is My King Size Bed

I'm still kicking my own ass about my lost chance to see Adele perform down the street from me at the Somerville Theater last month. Imagine my excitement when I found out via NME Magazine's Twitter feed that Adele was plotting a U.S. tour, I got excited. Alas, the closest she's coming to me is New York. Oh well...I'm sure I'll get the chance to see her in Boston again but I'm still a little bummed. So glad she won the Best New Artist Grammy! What a great performance with Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland.

Here are the announced tour dates.

San Diego, CA - House of Blues (March 9)

Scottsdale, AZ - Martini Ranch (March 10)

Austin, TX - La Zona Rosa (March 12)

Houston, TX - Warehouse Live (March 14)

Dallas-Ft Worth, TX (March 15)

Atlanta, GA - Variety Playhouse (March 17)

Nashville, TN - The Cannery (March 18)

Detroit, MI - Saint Andrews Hall (March 20)

Cleveland, OH - House of Blues (March 21)

New York, NY - Roseland Ballroom (May 5)

Los Angeles, CA - Hollywood Bowl (June 28)

Kelly Clarkson Album Leaks & New Album Artwork

Posted: 20 Feb 2009 07:32 PM CST

First things first, it looks like Kelly Clarkson's new (brilliant) album, All I Ever Wanted, leaked onto the Internet, courtesy of the Norwegian iTunes Store, as Rolling Stone reported earlier today. That's a shame. I hope it doesn't drastically impact sales. It might, given that it's not set to be released for a month. I wonder if the label will bump up the release date? Buy your copy! Pre-order on Amazon, iTunes or wherever you buy your music.

Album - All I Ever Wanted

Now, since it's Friday and I'm WIPED OUT I'm going to keep things light and fluffy tonight with some new album art, available courtesy of my favorite album art resource on the web, Coverlandia. I've talked about them before but they really are fantastic! They have a great team of artists who make their own album art but they also post official artwork. Below, you will find some of my fav new official album and single sleeves. Enjoy!
