Pet Shop Boys: Behaviour/Further Listening 19901991

Neil Young, Friends & Relatives: Road Rock Vol. 1

Jerry Seinfeld: I'm Telling You For The Last Time

Jas. Mathus And His Knock-Down Society: Play Songs For Rosetta

Various Artists: Free The West Memphis 3

Flat Duo Jets: Lucky Eye
An appearance in a documentary with R.E.M. would seem like a dream come true for a struggling young band. Not so for Chapel Hill's top rockabilly twosome, Flat Duo Jets. The group bounced from tiny la

In a year flooded with releases from the Elephant 6 collective—some incredibly ambitious, some dispiritingly dull—it was easy and unfair for a group like Beulah to get lost in the shuffle. The third a
