Next Saturday, as I’m sure you’re aware, is Hoodie Hoo Day. What’s that? You’ve never heard of it? Colour me shocked. Here’s the deal: On Hoodie Hoo Day, you’re supposed to go outside at noon, raise your hands over you head and yell — you guessed it — “Hoodie Hoo!!” (I swear I’m not kidding. Go ahead and look it up.) You can also celebrate by wearing a weird hat, ordering seeds for your garden or (for some reason) buying used furniture at a flea market. I would humbly suggest adding another activity to that list: Checking out one (or more) of the new albums on this list. Hoodie Hoo!!
