Holiday Gift Guide Review: The Replacements, "Dead Man's Pop"
One of the year's most unexpected box sets - The Replacements' Dead Man's Pop, an alternative look at the band's 1989 album Don't Tell a Soul - has turned out to be one of its most exciting.

Thanks For the Dance: Leonard Cohen's Final Farewell Reviewed
"I'm ready, my lord..." so sang Leonard Cohen on You Want It Darker, his final album that hit shelves just weeks before his death. If You Want It Darker was his farewell, then Thanks For the Dance - released today from Columbia/Legacy - is a gift from beyond. The album was completed by son Adam Cohen, as the younger Cohen had been instructed. The pieces were in various stages of completion when Adam began to reappraise the work.
