Looking at these feeds, I see:

<item>
<title>Greatest Hits: Night Ranger</title>
<link>http://beta.music.msn.com/album/?album=10016566</link>
<description>Greatest Hits: Night Ranger by Night Ranger</description>
<pubDate>6/12/1989 12:00:00 AM</pubDate> <category>Rock</category>
</item>

I thought pubDate was suppose to be an RFC 822 date?
