TODAY'S PICKS

DAILY TRACK: Jay-Z — "Roc Boys" This is black superhero music, circa 2007: Jay-Z goes to the movies and comes back with an even better film in his head, with a song that plays like the Copacabana scene in GoodFellas translated into hip-hop. Click HERE for more on this and the other tracks that made Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.

DAILY VIDEO: Peter Travers Review — 'I am Legend' and 'The Perfect Holiday'

DAILY REVIEW: Wyclef Jean — Carnival Vol. II (Memoirs of an Immigrant) On Carnival Vol. II, the power of Wyclef Jean's roladex is more apparent than ever: A wildly diverse crowd — including Paul Simon, Mary J. Blige, Norah Jones and Minister Louis Farrakhan (!) — appears, making the affair feel like a hipper Epcot Center. Click HERE for more on the album.
