We're incredibly excited -- juiced, as one of our founders might say -- to bring you a selection of great new music today.

First off are the Cold War Kids, a relatively young band with the following and press of superstars. For a quick introduction, or to listen again to that song you already love: Hang Me Up To Dry .

Don't miss the album that Rolling Stone calls "gorgeous."

Next are the British rockers Art Brut, currently on tour in the U.S. with the Hold Steady. Their pumping post-punk propelled their first album to critical success, and now we're thrilled to bring you their sophomore release, featuring upcoming single Direct Hit .

Rather than quoting any magazines, we'll just say that Ghostface calls it "really raw, dawg":

Now, the immortal Shaggy. If you don't remember his singles "Boombastic" or "It Wasn't Me," hopefully you're at least living under a comfortable rock. His new album brings together reggae, dancehall, R&B, and pop, and features Collie Buddz and Akon. Check out the bumping title track, Intoxication .

Very fantastic!

A fan of House, M.D.? Then you'll know that one of the show's strengths is great music in almost every episode. From the theme, Teardrop (Theme Song) by Massive Attack, to Joe Cocker's classic Feelin’ Alright , the soundtrack is packed with hits.

It's a lot more upbeat than Hugh Laurie:

The Blue Scholars saw a great response on Amie Street to their first album, Bayani, and now they're back with an EP of new tracks, remixes, and instrumentals for all you aspiring emcees. For a taste of what they're working on for the next full-length, check out Southbound .

Laid back as ever:

And finally (phew!), Jupiter Rising. This duo's catchy dancefloor pop has brought the comparison to Nelly Furtado/Timbaland and the Black Eyed Peas. The bubbly title track off their album, Electropop , will get you out of your seat in no time.

See what all the fuss is about!

That's all from us - enjoy the music, and till next time!
