sparse, postmodern folk that will mostly appeal<br />
to their already devout niche of fans. But with a<br />
handful of songs highlighting the beauty of their<br />
ragged and minimal punk melodies, they might just<br />
gain some new ones. ANDREA BUSSELL<br />

Imagine all of the action of the<br />
last two MP games, but with<br />
the added radness of aim-and-shoot Wiimote<br />
controls. Your job is the same as always: be<br />
the sexiest bounty hunter this side of Zebes.<br />
Oh, and blast the crap out of anything that<br />
stands in your path—even if it’s your evil<br />
twin. And due to the recent swashbuckling<br />
craze, Corruption comes with 50 percent<br />
more space pirate and 75 percent more<br />
booty. ZACH ROSENBERG<br />

The Con 86%<br />
Vapor<br />
Even in their humble Lilith beginnings,<br />
Canadian twin-sis duo Tegan &<br />
Sara hinted at the saccharine power-folk that would<br />
come to be their calling card. But it wasn’t until 2004’s<br />
rockcandy surprise, So Jealous, that the vigor actually<br />
muscled its way to the fore. Three years later, The<br />
Con is a startlingly dark, yet characteristically vibrant<br />
offering, featuring a band that’s learned to harness<br />
the energy-highs, while tempering pretty (even pastoral)<br />
pop-folk with a new, deeply-affecting brand of<br />
melancholy. ROBBIE MACKEY<br />
Emmylou Harris<br />
Songbird: Rare and<br />
Forgotten Gems [box set] 91%<br />
Rhino<br />
Emmylou Harris has never been given<br />
her proper due. In a career spanning four decades, the<br />
silver-haired beauty is known mostly for sharing her<br />
honeysuckle croon in collaboration with nasally-voiced<br />
powerhouses like Neil Young, Dylan, Willie and Gram<br />
Parsons, but whenever the time comes for accolades<br />
she modestly lets the boys shine first. Harris has always<br />
been way more than a backup singer extraordinaire,<br />
and Songbird thrusts her solo talents to the forefront,<br />
offering a four-disc sampler of live, unreleased and<br />
lesser-known tracks that’ll make cowpokes weep and<br />
lift our good spirits beyond the borders of the big sky<br />
above. PHIL EASTMAN<br />
