The #AlbumAugust listening project is coming to a close. 31 days and 31 never-before-heard sets of music. Since August is four and a half weeks long, this is an extended play Week 4 Recap, with the past ten days of albums and reviews featured here and there were some real gems to listen to for Week 4!

It was so enjoyable sharing Album August with you this week, especially from the reactions of people who, like me, had never heard music from The New Mastersounds before this week. Along with this British funk outfit, this week's listening adventures also included a pair of artists from Finland, a classic of 80's New Wave/AOR, a landlocked surfer band and The Muppets.

Two and-a-half minutes and a sweetly adorable melody is all it takes to capture the zeitgeist of a fandom. If you've ever rolled a natural 20, you will instantly relate to the story behind the lyrics of "Tonight" by Cossbysweater.

Week 2 of the #AlbumAugust listening, reviewing and sharing project was a very interesting one. Starting with a trio of releases which were able to be listened to for free, the week also included artists which were recommended to me by you, the reader. And for that I thank you. Please come inside for a listen and look back at the featured albums of the week.

If you follow me on Twitter, then you may have noticed I am doing something I call "Album August", where I listen to an album which I've never heard before and then tweet review it. The albums can be new releases or, and often more interestingly, older material I just never had a chance to hear before. I did something similar in August of 09 and it was quite fun, so I figured I would try it again, only this time, I plan on doing these weekly recaps where I expand a bit on each album with the added value of being able to include actual music with the reviews! Here's a look at the first seven listens of Album August.

- It's been just over two years since supergroup Chickenfoot unleashed their killer debut album on the world. This morning, the first single from the Foot's long awaited follow up album was released and it is three-plus minutes of rockin'! Come on in for a listen!
