I am well aware of the summer concert season, but apparently there is also a summer album season. As it seems that everybody is dropping one this month!

Check out the new hotness:

\\u201cBring Toonami Back\\u201d by Richie Branson

\\n\\n

If the fan outcry to resurrect Cartoon Network\\u2019s long-missed Toonami anime block was a phalanx, then surely Richie\\u2019s rallying cry was the tip of the spear. (Now you know a bit more about both American otaku and ancient military history; you\\u2019re welcome, internet!) You can own this updated version of the iconic track along with six other hip-hop gems on his amazing new N.E.R.D. EP.

\\u201cCo-op Mode (feat. The BossFights)\\u201d by Sci-Fried

\\n\\n

Sure, I could be stingy with my song leaks, but I like to share \\u2018em. Especially when they come from Florida\\u2019s geek rock royalty Sci-Fried and California\\u2019s underground thrash/rap juggernaut The BossFights. This song serves as the title track for Sci-Fried\\u2019s forthcoming Co-op Mode, an album featuring other epic musical team-ups with the likes of Warp 11, MC Lars and Insane Ian.

\\u201cTake on Me (Live)\\u201d by Kirby Krackle

\\n\\n

Recorded at Seattle\\u2019s Hard Rock Cafe during this year\\u2019s Emerald City Comic Con, Live in Seattle represents Kirby Krackle\\u2019s first full band live album. Eleven tracks strong and featuring amazing guest performances by Adam WarRock and ALL CAPS\\u2018 (and former Parselmouth) Kristina Horner, it\\u2019s a veritable must-own!
