Weezer Choose Dog Photo for Cover of Raditude and Discover Unlikely Fan
Weezer have unveiled the cover art for their upcoming album, "Raditude," which will perhaps be known as the beige album (based on the color of the carpet and the dog). Frontman Rivers Cuomo first spotted the image when National Geographic ran it as the winning entry of a reader-submitted photo contest. The frontman contacted the photographer, Jason Neely, and asked if he could use the portrait of his jumping pup (named Sidney) for the band's new disc. Neely's response? "Sidney is a big Weezer fan."

UK Beatles' List
Britain's Music Radar polled their readers asking them to name the greatest Beatles albums with the top album being Revolver. For years, it would have been automatically presumed that Sgt. Pepper would top any poll but things seem to be trending away from that landmark album. What is surprising in this vote is that Sgt. Pepper came in at an unexpected number 4.
Here is how they came out (remember that these are the British releases).
1.Revolver
2.Abbey Road
3.Beatles (White Album)
4.Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
5.Rubber Soul
6.Magical Mystery Tour
7.A Hard Day's Night
8.Help!
9.Let It Be
10.Please Please Me
11.Yellow Submarine
12.With the Beatles
13.Beatles For Sale

Official Cover Art for Norah Jones' 'The Fall'
Norah Jones has put out the artwork which will be featured in the front cover of her new album titled "The Fall". Appearing alongside a St. Bernard, she is captured donning a white strapless long dress and black top hat.
A follow-up to Jones' second album "Not Too Late", "The Fall" is plotted to be made available for purchase across United States on November 17. This record will witness her "experimenting with different sounds and a new set of collaborators, including Jacquire King, a noted producer and engineer who has worked with Kings of Leon, Tom Waits and Modest Mouse among others."
