Note that the Ween album comes with a bonus DVD.

    Magnetic Fields is on my to-do list. And possibly Missions of Burma.

    Also releasing today is a fantastic collection of Country Gospel songs, as chosen by the Country MusiC Hall of Fame, featuring Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Elvis, and so on and so forth.
