Britney and Backstreet are back alright, but we’ve got our eye on a few other notable releases this week. However, if you’re still looking for some last minute Halloween costume ideas… We’re really excited about the lovely Nicole Atkins’ latest album, Neptune City.

We've heard plenty about Houston's escalating crime rate. First, the thugs targeted Oscar and the Cookie Monster, then expensive watches, and now — rock memorabilia? Yep, it's true: Early Thursday, burglars hit the Hard Rock Cafe downtown. The story comes from KTRK, which had very few details — in fact, the station didn't know what was stolen, though it did say at least three items of rock memorabilia are missing. The Houston Hard Rock's collection...
