We are here at Lucky #13! As promised, I have new music from the recently re-formed Buffalo Tom, and solo music from Swervedriver's Adam Franklin. Plus, some thoughts on the possible reunion of the original Van Halen, and my vote for song of the year from Rufus Wainwright. Enjoy.

The music:

Van Halen - "Mean Street"
Hot One - "Do The Coup D'etat" (www.hot-one.org)
Ice - T - "My Word Is Bond"
Buck Bowen - "I'm a Mess" (www.buckbowen.com)
Rufus Wainwright - "Going To A Town"
Bright Eyes - "Hot Knives (live on Letterman)" (www.thisisbrighteyes.com)
Adam Franklin - "Ramonesland" (www.myspace.com/toshackhighway)
Buffalo Tom - "Bottom of the Rain"
