What a week! Between playing in snow and lighting menorahs, we found time to bring you a fresh helping of music news and recommendations. Here's what we've been up to:

• Paula passed out before Japanther.


• I saw a naked guy at the Ted Leo show.


• Nathan discovered Jesse Rubenfeld.


• Jackie took pictures with Hopewell.


• Rachel obsessed over the Juno soundtrack.

See you on Monday. Have a great weekend.
