Stream Springsteen's Working on a Dream

Listen up Springsteen fans, 'cause today is, like, the best day ever. NPR is streaming ALL of the Boss' new album Working on a Dream before it's official Jan. 27 release date. Rolling Stone is feeling it with a five star review, but Springsteen could vomit in a bucket and RS would put it on the cover. It's definitely got a similar feel to 2007's Magic, but with a bit less polish. And while I give it a 47-star review on first listen, I have to stay there's not nearly enough Clarence Clemmons. Seriously, Bruce, the people want the Big Man. Give the people (aka me) what they want.

In addition, NPR's got Springsteen's Golden Globe-winning song from The Wrestler, aptly titled, "The Wrestler." Although, I gotta call bullshit on this whole not getting nominated for an Oscar thing. Do you not remember how adorable he was the first time around?:
