From chic to cheap

If you fashionistas out there are anything like me, you have been diligently perusing the fashion mags for the latest styles from the fall runways.

Here's a sampling of what you might line up for days to get tickets for... or what you might catch while just trying to chill in those nice, cool air-conditioned theaters. As they say in Grease,\ ""Summer days, driftin' away, to oh oh oh... summer cartoon-version Keanu Reeveses.""

(04/13/06 6:00am)

Yeah, baby: art punkers get more complex, but not necessarily better
(04/03/06 6:00am)
New York's critically adored art punk trio, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, return after a three-year absence with a new album, Show Your Bones.

While certainly not as raw and sexual as their debut Fever to Tell, the new album still features the familiar guitar prowess of Nick Zinner, the pile-driving drums of Brian Chase, and the commanding vocal presence of Karen O. Furthermore, there is a similar movement from a more rocking first half to a reflective, softer second half.
