TODAY'S PICKS

DAILY VIDEO: New Music Tuesdays - 1990s, Flight of the Conchords
DAILY REVIEW: Tegan and Sara - The ConAs lesbians who never reference their oppression or even their sexuality, Tegan and Sara don't have men to lash out at, put up with or gripe about. This may be why their uncommonly detailed love songs are so short on drama - a riddle worth pondering, because their keyboard-heavy, New Wave-ish music is also uncommonly catchy. Click here for more on the album.
ARTIST OF THE DAY: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
