TODAY'S PICKS

DAILY TRACK: The Receiving End of Sirens - "The Salesman, The Husband, The Lover" Someone's been watching some Peter Greenaway. And if you don't like this atmospheric slow-burner, they're streaming the rest of the record on MySpace too. Click here for more on the latest tracks to hit stores and the Internet this week, including where to listen to more of the Receiving End of Sirens.

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
