Wilco to Sondheim to Moby

You’re still talking about: Wilco

Because even with last week’s L.A. shows, another fix is but one new album away. And after countless lineup changes and a bevy of stylistic leaps, the adventurous Chicago-based band has arrived at a lineup that clicks. For now, anyway. “Wilco (The Album)” is the second consecutive release of new material from the current lineup and the offering is among its best, from the chilling guitar-keyboard panic attack of “Bull Black Nova” to the sweeping harmonies in “One Wing.” (Tuesday)

I’m still talking about: “Battlestar Galactica”

Because until the series prequel, “Caprica,” premieres in 2010 on the Sci Fi Channel, nothing comes close. Thankfully, the box set for the final “Season 4.5” episodes is pretty epic, armed with 10 hours of extras, including unaired extended episodes. A most excellent way to drown out the dregs of summer programming. So say we all! (Tuesday)

Stephen Sondheim completists will talk about: “Road Show”

Does it improve on the previous incarnation, 2003’s little-seen flop “Bounce”? The retooled and renamed musical, which played last year off-Broadway with Alexander Gemignani and Michael Cerveris starring, is certainly a darker take on the tale of two brothers’ quest for the American dream during the Alaskan gold rush and through the Florida real estate boom of the 1920s. Noteworthy for the Sondheim devout, the new recording is a study in seeing how he reshapes once-light material into something more in his comfort zone: the tragic and obscure. (Tuesday)

You’ll probably talk about: Moby’s “Wait for Me”

Goodbye, raves; hello, melancholy. Will the most loyal Moby fan get behind this stripped-down DIY album, the first, he says, where he’s felt creatively liberated? Probably. Don’t expect “Play,” or anything close to 2008’s dance-heavy “Last Night,” get into the growing pains, and you should be good to go. (Tuesday)

Will anyone talk about: “I Hate Valentine’s Day”?

Reteaming “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” creator-star Nia Vardalos with leading man John Corbett in a romantic comedy about a woman who goes through an entire relationship -- chance meeting to divorce -- in a single day should be a sure thing. But IFC isn’t screening “Valentine’s Day” for critics -- unheard of for an indie film. (Friday )
