1. M.I.A., “Paper Planes.” Rihanna’s cover of this Kala standout didn’t add anything — it was frightening close to the original — but if it brings millions of ”Umbrella” fans to the table, it can only be a good thing.
2. Rebirth Brass Band, “Just the Two of Us.
3. Of Montreal, “Cato... Read More

Pierce’s been through a lot in the past few years, including a... Read More

Video of the Day: Tapes ‘N Tapes, “Hang Them All”
April 29, 2008
