The legendary pioneer of glam rock, more commonly identified as his
alter ego, Ziggy Stardust, has returned, leaving the spiders from
Mars behind. David Bowie, never ceasing to amaze his fans with
eccentric, compelling rock songs, has released a digitally
remastered and expanded three-CD edition of his vastly influential
1976 album, Station to Station, including the double CD
Live at Nassau Coliseum ‘76 concert as an additional bonus.

John Legend and The Roots new album, Wake Up!, assures
listeners there was and is still great music being made, even in
these times of pop sensations with no musical expertise. Combining
the smooth and soulful sound of John Legend and the funky beats of
The Roots, this collaboration should not be overlooked.

The members of Meteorade keep their plates fuller than an early
'90s Roseanne Barr at the buffet table.

Chromeo seem to have turned over a new leaf but it's hard to
believe them. Like Bill Murray in ""Groundhog Day,"" they've been
rehashing their ladykiller attitude since their 2004 debut
She's In Control. But on their latest release,
Business Casual, Dave 1 and P-Thugg reveal their sensitive
snowman-building side in an attempt to woo North America's populace
of feisty indie gals.

INDIANAPOLIS—They almost made it all the way back.

When thinking of some words to describe the performance of
sophomore guard Jordan Taylor in the win against Penn State,
resilient and incredible come to mind first, especially considering
his recent struggles.

The search for interesting reads can be tough. Lately, I've
found myself in a bit of a reading funk, as the only amiably priced
literature I've seen recently includes a 900-page Charles Dickens
novel and a book picturing a windblown Fabio alongside a swooning
woman by the grocery store checkout counter. Basically, books that
no one with half a functioning brain cell would want to read.

Coming back from a torn knee ligament to play college football
is no easy task. Going through three surgeries on the same knee and
returning to play after a year and a half away from the game is
even tougher.

Nipping at the heels of last year's debut album Limbo, Panto,
Wild Beasts continue their strange and bombastic odyssey into
music's darker fathoms with Two Dancers, a decidedly more mature
album that advances the band's already extraordinary talents and
pushes them into new territory. Wild Beasts are nothing if not
unique. Lead singer Hayden Thorpe's ever-present,
bawdy-yet-aristocratic falsetto spews epithets and vulgar
insinuations as though they were lofty hymns, and bassist Tom
Fleming (whose vocal talents are much more prominent this time
around) offers a down-to-earth deadpan ring that subtly implicates
his narrators in what amount to nothing more than everyday
atrocities, all while following tense, galloping rhythms and vast,
far-reaching melodies. This combination of musical and lyrical
oddity separate Wild Beasts fully from the safety of the norm;
these soulful, lilting tracks belie a sinister core bordering on
the psychotic.

The summer of 2009 is a season full of promising films. From
seeing another ""Harry Potter"" movie to the excitement of watching
Madison alum Michael Mann debut his locally filmed ""Public
Enemies,"" there are plenty of reasons to head to your local
theater this summer. Here are six films that are must-sees, even
when the weather gets warm.

There are a million reasons to love the summer, like enjoying
warm evenings outside, seeing people in skimpier clothing or
driving with the windows down. Unfortunately, those can also be
reasons to hate summer, as in the swarms of mosquitoes that roam
the summer nights, your overweight and hairy neighbor who insists
on mowing the lawn without a shirt or the guy at the stoplight who
wants everyone to hear him rocking out to Limp Bizkit.

When Jeff Vinokur left New Jersey for college in Madison, he
brought a relatively new love for dancing with him. Soon after
arriving, he had an idea: to teach Madison how to dance. But not
just any style of dance, a specific type of freestyle dancing, also
known as popping and locking.

I've been called a switch hitter before, but I guess this is a
new context.

David Reed, in a February 11 review of Trouble Andrew's
self-titled debut album, tags the album with the genre label
""douche-core."" This may be the greatest genre delineation I have
ever read.

It is often said that the true measure of a song is whether or
it still stands up when stripped down to its barest acoustic bones.
If Psapp's latest release were subjected to this treatment, it
would surely fail. But this is not as sharp a dig as it seems. The
meticulous arrangements and layered instruments are The Camel's
Back's greatest strength.

Tom Jones lives a life of adversity. How does one continue
producing music for a career known mainly for its significance to
the fictional life of Carlton Banks? Despite sporting a massive
discography and more youth-oriented songs, such as 1999's Sex
Bomb,"" Jones' tryst with popularity has been fickle at best. In
24 Hours, Jones' latest and 30th full-length album, the
crooner shows his perfected organization of studio musician
accompaniment but falls short trying to galvanize his career yet
again.

How did we get to where we are today? Has some kind of mistake
been made, or am I just getting to the age when things make less
sense, because I can't help but thinking that absurdity has somehow
taken precedence. It is a disbelief - disbelief in what I hear,
read, watch and observe about current happenings in our country.

Denver natives, the Flobots, have burst onto the hip-hop scene
with their socially and politically infused music. Their major
label debut, Fight With Tools, has taken the genre for a
spin by straying from the typical topics of money and girls and,
instead rhyming discontents about the state of the nation. With
their strong vocals and instrumentals blended with rap beats, Fight
With Tools is an album worth listening to, not just for getting
down and dirty.

Payable On Death's seventh album, _When Angels and Serpents
Dance_, marks a step in a different but finally progressive
direction for the battle-tested, 15-year hard rock veterans from
the Southtown"" (San Ysidro, Calif.). Two subpar studio releases
removed from their most celebrated work to date in _Satellite_,
P.O.D. reunite with founding guitarist Marcos Curiel more
motivated, creative and mature, offering a textured, musically rich
collection of tracks with the characteristic spiritual undertones
and Latin zest - but this time with the amplifier dialed down a few
notches from 11.

Love is the single-most intangible concept known to mankind, as
equally wonderful as it is frustrating, as constant as it is
volatile and as certain as it is confusing. Love can be professed
in countless ways to numerous types of people and is the vessel
that motivates even the most hardened hearts. One can go on and on
trying to explain love, but the tuth is , love is too expansive to
be summarized in a few words.
