TODAY'S PICKS

DAILY TRACK: Bright Eyes — "Four Winds"
The lyrics evoke W.B. Yeats; the music, J.C. Mellencamp. No song better captured our current sense of looming apocalypse than this one, which also makes a case for Conor Oberst as one of the best — and bravest — lyricists out there. 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: New Music Tuesdays — The Top Ten Albums of 2007

DAILY REVIEW: M.I.A. — Kala
M.I.A.'s second album was an international block party with a sonic imagination nobody else could match all year. The Sri Lankan-born U.K. rapper's inspirations run all over the globe, with a Day-Glo sensibility rooted in the Native Tongues hip-hop of the Jungle Brothers and De La Soul, but with the political rage of Public Enemy.
