On Sale - Ships in 12 Hours
Despite its title, CSNY Deja Vu is no baby-boomer nostalgia exercise. Chronicling Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's 2006 tour, the film is a not just a concert movie but an engrossing exegesis on the myriad ways that entertainers, fans, soldiers, their families, right-wing radio hosts, and red- and blue-staters alike can feel about the Iraq War.

Fans of the gloomy Manchester-based band from the late 1970s will have less to feel down about with the release of this rockumentary. JOY DIVISION follows the unlikely rise of these working class lads up to Ian Curtis's suicide, which tore the band apart until it was reborn as New Order. Included here is rare footage of the group as well as their moody and starkly photographed videos, capturing the essence of what made Joy Division so special and so tragic.

On Sale - Ships in 12 Hours
Pete Seeger is a revered singer and performer, an ambassador of the world's folk music traditions, and a patriot, but whenever Jim Brown's very moving documentary verges too close to hagiography, interviews with the gently self-effacing subject himself steer the focus back onto the issues and the music.

John Mayer fans can expect the singer-songwriter to come in three action-ready poses in this concert release: an acoustic set, a rare John Mayer Trio set with Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino, and a full-blown set featuring the entire band. As always, this performance is part bluesy, part electric, and all Mayer.
