Required listening from the Week in Music ...

We think "flower punk" garage band
Black Lips are the coolest, and not just because
lead guitarist Cole Alexander let us touch his tiny mustache. Buy their album "
200 Million Thousand" or they'll make out with you.

Arcade Fire without the sunny attitude,
Wild Light have slowly made their way from the wilds of New Hampshire to bring you
"
Adult Nights" and some titillatingly profane art-rock.

What if you threw a party and
Grandmaster Flash and all of his friends came? They probably wouldn't, because your apartment is small and dirty. But you can listen to "
The Bridge" in it.

If you like your music like we like our women, you'll love
The Prodigy's reliable electronic effort
"
Invaders Must Die."
