Required listening from the week in music.

"Monsters of Folk" is the indie supergroup composed of singer/songwriters Conor Oberst, Jim James, M. Ward and Mike Mogis. Together, they are the Traveling Wilburys of the PBR-and-trust-fund set.

Also in stores this week:
--Break out the flannel, because "Backspacer" is the most energized and accessible Pearl Jam album since about 1997.
-- "Milwaukee at Last!!" is the first live album from pianist, bon vivant and Judy Garland impersonator Rufus Wainwright.
-- "Masters of the Burial" is the latest dreamy solo outing from Amy Millan of Broken Social Scene, Stars and about 40 other Canadian hipster bands.
