In their first-ever digital-only box set, the music lovers at Rhino have curated That's Aught: The '00s Pop Culture Box, a 150-song collection that celebrates the many sides of that decade of music. From pop and hip-hop, country, pop-punk, soul, dance, and underground music, the selections are as diverse as the decade was. The staff at Rhino have sequenced the selections in more-or-less chronological order, beginning with *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" before continuing on to iconic hits from music

What do you get when you bring together members of Wilco, Soul Asylum, and The Jayhawks and throw them into a remote recording studio in Minnesota wilderness? Well, as the Run Out Groove label proved with its LP reissue earlier this year, the result is one mighty down-home, fun album of country-rock grooves: Down By the Old Mainstream by '90s supergroup Golden Smog. While their lineup has been mercurial since they first got together in the late-'80s, the core lineup included Kraig Johnson of

Wilco is digging deep for new expanded reissues of their first two albums, due this December from Rhino Records. The Chicago alternative outfit was born in 1994 from the ashes of influential alt-country outfit Uncle Tupelo, following the dissolution of Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar's creative partnership. Farrar went on to form Son Volt, while Wilco began with Tweedy and the rest of the band--bassist Jon Stirratt, multi-instrumentalist Max Johnson and drummer Ken Coomer--plus new lead guitarist
