Members of The Grateful Dead will play a free show next week at one of their old haunts, The Fillmore in San Francisco. It's sold out already, but those who managed to get tickets just had to agree to "pay it forward" and do a good deed for someone else. And that's what fellow Dead fans, a band called The National, have done on a new Grateful Dead tribute album, gathering a diverse group of artists to raise money and awareness for AIDS-related charities. It's just one of the new releases our pop music critic Steve Hochman talks about this week.
