TODD RUNDGREN (Thursday) Over the years Mr. Rundgren has dabbled in a variety of endeavors, from fronting the New Cars (which exists without the bassist Benjamin Orr, who died in 2000, and, perhaps more pressingly, without the Cars' original vocalist, Ric Ocasek) to recording odd electronic bits under the pseudonym TR-i (for Todd Rundgren interactive). His newest album, "Arena" (Hi-Fi Recordings), is fairly straightforward pop-rock, although you might not guess that from the cover, which features a shirtless Mr. Rundgren devilishly wielding a cymbal and an electric guitar.
