Required listening from the week in music.

While Mos Def's music has become significantly less interesting since he took up acting, "The Ecstatic," looks to be a worthy follow-up to his classic "Black on Both Sides." But Mos, was "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" really worth the delay between albums?
Granted Moby hasn't been relevant since about 2001, but the stripped down and personal "Wait For Me" will make you remember why you liked him in the first place ... Or hated him with a fiery passion.
Regina Spektor's "Far" proves why she's a favorite of coffee shop baristas everywhere. If nothing else, listen to it so you can claim she peaked with "Begin to Hope."
Wilco's latest, "Wilco (The Album)," is getting rave reviews and all, but that is seriously one lazy title. Even worse, the first track is titled "Wilco: The Song." How about, "Wilco: the creatively bankrupt"?
