News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.

Little Steven knows cool -- well enough to play a gangster on TV, hang with The Boss and proclaim a "Coolest Song in the World" every week on his satellite radio show. So here's to Raleigh's Bleeding Hearts, whose "Rehab Girl" (a track from their stellar new album "Nothin' on But the Radio") has earned Little Steven's "Coolest Song in the World" blessings for this week. Your next opportunity to hear the band do it live will be Aug. 15 at the Pour House in Raleigh, on a sweet triple-bill with Goner and Loners.
