New music alert

Here are some new albums released today:
Beck, “Guero”: Didn’t Beck sound kind of hopeless on his last album, "Sea Change?” He’s cheered up and back to his funky, oddball ways on “Guero.”
Morrissey, “Live at Earl’s Court”: Speaking of the downtrodden, Morrissey (a.k.a. “the pope of mope”) releases a live album captured from his recent tour. Songs from his former band, The Smiths, are included in the set (“How Soon is Now?. “Bigmouth Strikes Again”).
Will Smith, “Lost and Found”: On the heels of his new movie, “Hitch,” hip-hop’s reigning Mr. Nice Guy releases a new album. He’s joined in the studio with Snoop Dogg, Kanye West and DJ Jazzy Jeff, Smith’s longtime partner-in-rhyme.
A.B. Quintanilla & the Kumbia Kings, “Duetos”: A.B. Quintanilla, brother of Selena, the late-Latin superstar, pays tribute to his sister on the 10th anniversary of her death. The album includes two duets with Selena.
