I only got to listen to them once each via NPR's first listen, but they're both on order, and I can't wait to get them in the next week. NPR now has R.E.M.'s _Collapse Into Now_ available for streaming until its release on Tuesday. It's really worth a listen, not up there with their best work, but still really good and far better than what they've put out lately. http://www.npr.org/2011/03/01/133998085/first-listen-r-e-m-collapse-into-now You can get the song "UBerlin" for free on iTunes through Monday. Charlotte Martin's _Dancing on Needles_ is similar to _Stromata_ and the _Veins_ ep, but not a rehash, so if you like those you'll probably like this one as well. Nicole Atkins' _Mondo Amore_ sounds really strong, more cohesive (and probably better) than her debut. I find her stylistically hard to describe, though I really like her. Go for the iTunes version which gets you a digital booklet, the "Vultures" video, and a fun bonus track. Clips of Cowboy Junkies' _Demons_ sound good too. If 2011 keeps up like this, I'll be broke in no time. :-) VIDEO My Brightest Diamond has a new video for "The Sea" which you can watch at http://pitchfork.com/tv/#/music-videos/620-my-brightest-diamond/2500-the-sea/ There are also some other good videos on that page, namely Alex Winston's "Locomotive" and La Sera's "Devil's Hearts Grow Gold" (the song more than the video). Click next a few times and you'll find PJ Harvey's "Let England Shake" at http://pitchfork.com/tv/#/music-videos/1506-pj-harvey/2382-let-england-shake/ and videos by Jonsi, Tennis, Best Coast, Marissa Nadler, Tame Impala, Sufjan Stevens, Lykke Li, Under Byen, Asobi Seksu, Junip, Antony and the Johnsons, Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan, She & Him, Goldfrapp, Beach House, Charlotte Gainsbourg, St. Vincent, and more.
