Newsweek
Our Top Picks for the Week

Rent “I’m Not There,” Todd Haynes’s playful, puzzling fantasia on the slippery myth of Bob Dylan, out Tuesday on DVD. He casts six actors, including the astonishing Cate Blanchett, to represent both real and imaginary aspects of the icon.

Hear “Les Artistes,” by Santogold, on myspace.com/ santogold. Singer Santi White offers fresh, addictive beats infused with an ’80s vibe. On an album where each track differs from the last, blending new wave with soul, Santogold is the funk “it” girl to watch. Play it once, then hit repeat.

Read “The Bear Went Over the Mountain,” by Carll Tucker. Prepare for your summer road trips with Tucker’s account of his trek across America in an RV. He visits the graves of all our presidents and vice presidents, and finds himself in the process.

See “Bare Witness: Photographs by Gordon Parks” at the Saint Louis Art Museum. This retrospective of 50 photographs, selected by Parks before his death in 2006, showcases his straightforward, sympathetic eye. Among the works are images he took for Life magazine of celebrities such as Muhammad Ali, segregation in Alabama and urban decay in Harlem.

An awesome site for all products that are green, from clothing, furniture, toothbrushes, solar powered products and air test kits, GREENHOME.COM is the place to go when transitioning to a green lifestyle.

I purchase all of my environmentally friendly products from GREENHOME and wouldn't want it any other way. GREENHOME is constantly adding new products that are in the now and I feel good when a package arrives from them at my doorstep because I know that I am doing something to help the environment.

GREENHOME.COM is the best eco-store on the web! I LOVE IT!!
