Hello again, Zune Nation! Here’s what’s going on for the week of June 21st – June 27th.
MUSIC

Our Artist of the Week is Pitbull with his latest album, ‘Planet Pit‘. There’s been a lot of hype over this one – do you think the new music lives up to it?
The new self-titled album from Bon Iver has song titles that refer metaphorically to locations – and was recorded in a studio they built in an old veterinarian’s office in Wisconsin!
This week 311 is ‘Trending Up’ with their new song, “Sunset in July“. They’ll be on Jimmy Kimmel Live next week, and they’re heading out on tour with Sublime with Rome this summer – are you going to see them live?
‘Sorry For Party Rocking‘ is the 2nd album for the uncle and nephew team of Redfoo and SkyBlu known as LMFAO (we know you know what THAT stands for!). Have you checked it out yet?
This week’s FREE song is from Jessie & the Toy Boys – you might be seeing her and her band of mannequins open for Nicki Minaj and Britney Spears on the Femme Fatale Tour! Get “Push it (Dirty Freqs Dancefloor Remix)” now.

Simple Plan, a Canadian pop punk band from Montréal, is back with their 4th album, ‘Get Your Heart On!‘ What do you think?
Losing ‘The Big Man’ was a tough blow to the music world. Join us in ‘Remembering Clarence Clemons’ with our playlist.

Check out the Best of Movie Soundtracks and our Movie Music Collection playlist – you’ll get some of the best movie music throughout the decades!
Bringing about the ‘Alpocalypse‘, it’s Weird Al Yankovic with his latest album! Get it and be ready for all new laughs from the pop music satirist – including that new Lady Gaga song that nearly didn’t happen.
This week on ‘5 Minutes with Fame‘, we’ve got South African rockers Seether, and you can watch it FREE with your Zune Pass!
Other new releases to check out this week: ‘The Light of the Sun‘ from Jill Scott, ‘Modern Love‘ from Matt Nathanson, and ‘GEMS: The Duets Collection‘ from Michael Bolton – fresh off his work with The Lonely Island, he’s now singing with Orianthi, Rascal Flatts, Seal and more.
