   Lost, but not forgotten, the 1969 original jam session recordings from Quincy Jones and Bill Cosby were rediscovered just years ago. Preview a couple of funky jazz jams from the collection. The ultra-cool “The Original Jam Sessions 1969 — EP,” as well as more music from Quincy Jones and Bill Cosby, is available at the iTunes Music Store.   Grammy Award-winning vocal diva Anita Baker’s elegant jazz and gospel-inflected R&B artistry made her one of the most popular singers of her time. “A Night of Rapture Live,” the enhanced CD, captures the onstage magic from her 1986 tour with nine songs and three videos, including “Sweet Love” and “You Bring Me Joy.” Enjoy the full-album listening party. If you like Anita Baker, iTunes Music Store offers six of her albums, as well.  La musica de Los Amigos Invisibles es “a harmonic convergence of catchy-chorus pop and after hours bump’n’grind — all combined with certain Latin flavor.” Try some of the Venezuelan disco-Latin-love-funk-groove — listen to the audio preview of the new album “The Venezuelan Zinga Son Vol.1” and watch the “Playa Azul” video. If you want more Los Amigos Invisibles, hit the iTunes Music Store for the new album, plus two earlier albums.  Blue States just completed the band’s third album, “The Soundings” — a collection of suave and moody pop songs with provocative lyrics. With tales of last nights and lost fights, visions of wingless angels and alien abductions across Scandinavia, it’s an album full of songs that invite your full attention. Check out the video for “Across the Wire” and hear more songs from the new album as well as Blue States’ first two albums in the iTunes Music Store.  At the young age of 19, Katie Melua knows the closest thing to crazy is being in love. Hear her tell the story as old as time in the video for “The Closest Thing to Crazy” from her four-time platinum UK album, “Call Off the Search.” Discover more jazzy, bluesy music from Katie Melua at the iTunes Music Store.  In the mood for some sensual and intimate smooth grooves with stellar harmonies? “The Best of Silk” full-album listening party is the answer, featuring Silk’s hits “Freak Me,” “I Can Go Deep,” “Happy Days” and hard to find 12” remixes. You can never get enough Silk — visit the iTunes Music Store for the R&B group’s first four albums.  Things are heating up for Palm Springs native Tyler Hilton, who just wrapped up appearances on the Virgin College Mega Tour with Michelle Branch, Rooney and Gavin De Graw. This 19-year-old possesses an intuitive grasp of melodic and lyrical interplay, as you can see in the video for his new single, “When It Comes.” You can purchase Tyler Hilton’s single, as well as two EP albums, at the iTunes Music Store. Look for his new album, “The Tracks Of,” in stores mid-August.  In “Wild for You,” Karrin Allyson pays tribute to and puts a jazz spin on some favorite pop songs that she heard while growing up. Listen to four songs from her 13-track album, including Joni Mitchell’s “All I Want” and Elton John’s “Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word.” “Wild for You” is available exclusively at the iTunes Music Store. Look for earlier albums from Karrin Allyson there, too.  Julie Roberts’ raw, honest, emotion-soaked, sensuous self-titled debut CD is a stark contrast to the pop-country music out now. Her music is a blend of country and blues that both embraces country’s heritage and reveals a fresh sound. The “Break Down Here” video tells the story of a woman leaving her man and hoping she doesn’t break down, literally or emotionally. Discover more down-home music from Julie Roberts, including the free discovery download — “Wake Up Older (Sessions@AOL),” in the iTunes Music Store.  With band members between 16 and 26 years old, Anberlin’s coming-of-age anthems ring true with a broad range of fans.

Watch a short film telling the tale of Thorrun leaving her Icelandic home for the opportunity to connect with Wayne in London. As Thorrun describes the Honeymoon’s creative endeavors, “it’s sexy, Sunday music” for the morning after.  Rocking more than 100 gigs in the past six months and supporting the likes of the Stands and the Kills, the Blueskins are spreading their high energy rock’n’blues mayhem all over the UK. Check out Blueskins’ video for “Stupid Ones.”  On tour in the UK, Essex-based trio InMe is in Los Angeles completing the so-far untitled follow-up to its debut album. See the video for new single, “Faster the Chase,” and look for the new album in stores September 2004.  The Stands just released their double-A-sided single, “Outside Your Door/When This River Rolls Over You,” from their timeless album “All Years Leaving.” Sample the rock romanticism of this Liverpool band in the video for “Outside Your Door.” |

worlds on the outskirts of the galaxy, avoiding bounty hunters.
When he visits Helion, home of a progressive multi-cultural society invaded by Lord Marshal (Colm Feore) — who targets humans for subjugation with his army of warriors, the Necromongers — Riddick is exiled to a subterranean prison with Kyra (Alexa Davalos), a former associate. Trying to escape with Kyra, anti-hero Riddick finds himself at the Necromonger command ship in an apocalyptic battle with Lord Marshal.

Murray), America’s favorite feline and the world’s laziest cat.
