Checklist: Our Top Picks for the Week

Newsweek

Hear Jakob Dylan’s “Seeing Things.” With the Wallflowers on hiatus, Bob’s son steps out with his first solo album. The stripped-down guitar leaves plenty of room for lush, knowing vocals ($15.98).

Buy Physicians Formula Eye Shadow Duo. All the ingredients in these two-color sets are certified organic and made without parabens, harsh chemicals or synthetics. Better still, they’re reasonably priced and found in drugstores. And when you’re done, just toss in the recycling bin ($7.95).

Surf mozes.com, a free music-networking site that connects people to their favorite artists via cell phone. By joining a band’s “mob,” or mobile list, users can receive text-message updates on the new hit single or an upcoming concert.

Rent “Caramel.” Set in a Beirut beauty shop where five women—Christian and Muslim, young and old, married, single and adulterous—grapple with love, religion and social repression, this delightful, sensual movie from Nadine Labaki is the closest thing to a Lebanese “Sex and the City.”

Go to the National Capital Barbecue Battle. Forget the strife between Republicans and Democrats—the real war in D.C. is between those vying for the National Barbecue Championship. The event also includes music, kids’ activities and more (June 21–22; bbqdc.com).
