Instead of going through the usual new band struggle of defining their sound, the members of Super Water Sympathy made up their own genre: water pop.

"It's something that we came up with because we always had a really hard time explaining to people what type of music we were," says lead vocalist Ansley Hughes. Hughes and the rest of Super Water Sympathy will show just what water pop is at The House of Blues' Parish this Saturday.

This Week's Soundtrack tries out the new and eagerly awaited releases in hip-hop as well as some legendary re-issues, says goodbye to old friends, and makes some new ones.

This week's Milk Run looks forward to the French Quarter Festival, SouthSounds Festival, CD-release parties for Los Po-Boy-Citos and Dave Jordan, and stand-up comedy with Neal Brennan and Jason Russell.
