The Bird and The Bee, Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future
Greg Kurstin's spit-shine production blends perfectly with Inara George's beautiful voice.

Bruce Springsteen, Working On a Dream
Is anyone having a bigger month than The Boss? Inauguration, new album, and a headlining gig at the Super Bowl.

Franz Ferdinand, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand
Life is a little better today with a brand new Franz Ferdinand release.

Beirut, March Of The Zapotec
Out digitally today, possibly the treat of the week. Horns + Indie Music = Indie Goodness!

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Old Money
He's the guy in Mars Volta who doesn't look like Jesus.

Hoobastank, For(n)ever
I've never said a bad thing about Hoobastank's band name, but I don't know about this album title.

RZA, Afro Samurai: The Resurrection
If you're going to get a producer to helm a soundtrack for a video game featuring Samuel L. Jackson as a samurai, RZA ain't a bad place to start.
