We watched Mandy Moore, the once sweet like “candy” popstar, grow up right before our eyes — deserting the bubblegum stylings along the way. And now, she’s back with a new album, Amanda Leigh, the title of which is taken from her own first and middle names. Based on the title alone, one could say the album will be a reflection of Moore who was (finally) given complete creative control of the recording process.
In support of the new album, Moore has teamed up with Best Buy for a special promotion here in NYC . On June 2nd, she’ll perform an acoustic show at the Highline Ballroom in NYC and if you purchase Amanda Leigh at a NY Metro Area Best Buy (or at Bestbuy.com) your receipt will grant you (and a guest) admission to the show. Pretty sweet, right? Be sure to check the list of participating stores in the NY Metro Area.
While space is limited and entry to the show will be on a first come first serve basis, The Round Table is hooking you up!

and the Great Picture Show have been described by name dropping the Andrews Sisters and Tom Waits, which immediately grabbed my attention. Their album is reminiscent of 30s and 40s juke joints (or at least my impression of them) mixed with smart pop music. April Smith’s voice seduces, entertains, and crackles with sass. But don’t take my word for it. Check it out for yourself by listening to “
