In this week's Music Section, Rob Harvilla takes U2's new No Line on the Horizon, force quits, and moves to trash. Restart and reboot yourself.

Clover Hope on The-Dream's sublime new Love vs. Money.

Tad Hendrickson rolls triumphantly forward with The Pogues, eyes as glassed over as ever.

Harvilla comes through with a SXSW Tip Sheet for 2009.

In Film, J. Hoberman on home video as cinema: Jan Sikl's Private Century and Anthology's A Lust for Ecstasy: The Kuchar Brothers.

Nick Pinkerton yawns at scummy Wes Craven-remake/rape revenge-fantasy The Last House on the Left.

Scott Foundas does a Japanese double feature with Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Tokyo Sonata and Naoko Ogigami's Megane.
