New Music with a Finn
Rock
I'll Be Lightning by Liam Finn. Finn is touring with the old man's band. In Milwaukee Liam did a solo opening act with his computer and played about five songs. I'm hoping to see his uncle Wednesday evening in Milwaukee.
In Rainbows by Radiohead. Is this the album the band was selling exclusively online?

White Chalk by PJ Harvey. Polly Jean's latest release.
The Reminder by Feist. Canadian girl sells song to Apple and makes it huge.
MJB by Mary J. Blige. Tattooed singer sings songs. I'm not sure if I've heard heard her sing unless is was in the background of a soundtrack.
Country
Dirt Farmer by Levon Helm. Helm looks like he must have smoked two packs a day for the past 40 years. The disc is supposed to be very good.
Dwight Sings Buck by Dwight Yoakam. Bakersfield resident Dwight sings the Bakersfield Sound songs of Bakersfield resident Buck Owens.
