New in CD Music

In CD LATIN:

Ana Tijoux/1977 -- The US debut of Chilean MC Tijoux, who has had a huge career in Latin America. She was born in France, where her parents sought political refuge during Pinochet's dictatorship. 1977 is a largely autobiographical album and is considered one of the top ten world releases of 2009.

In CD LOCAL ROCK

Black Lips/(self-titled) -- the Atlanta band is loud and in-your-face, with a stage show that pushes the envelope, but this self-styled "flower punk" band offers a plate of angst-ridden, rhythm-heavy anthems that have taken them worldwide and landed their music in films like (500) Days of Summer and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Pylon/Chomp More -- named after a Faulkner novel, Athens band Pylon were an early influence on other college rock bands like R.E.M. and toured the country, often as an opening act for bands like Gang of Four, the B52s and U2. After the loss of guitarist Randall Bewley last year, Chomp More serves to highlight some of the best moments of early Athens rock.

In CD POPULAR

Taio Cruz/Rokstarr  -- this British singer-songwriter has launched a fashion line to accompany his new release, and is currently writing music for Justin Beiber's next album, due in 2011.

Roxy Music/(self-titled) -- though the British art rock band defined the look of early 80s glamour rock, they also brought an elegant, dreamy style to the punk-populated youth airwaves, later crossing over with the classic "Avalon." This was their first album.

Taylor Swift/Speak Now -- you've probably heard a few of these songs during Taylor's rounds of the tv shows; now hear the rest.

In CD ROCK

Bob Dylan/Best of the Original Mono Recordings -- this collection captures music from Dylan's first eight albums, in their original mono recorded form.
