The delayed debut of LCD Soundsystem, a.k.a. James Murphy, may have been a blessing in disguise. Murphy sat back and watched the next big thing, dance-punk, quickly rise and fall; many of the leading bands of the movement either moved in a different direction, like The Liars, or failed to release a consistent album after successful EPs, like !!!. The dream of dancing to rock music faded and indie kids returned from the dance floor and resumed crossing their arms. The cynicism that has recently surrounded this dubious genre did not affect Murphy one bit.
Jack White, lead singer and guitarist of the White Stripes, recently announced that his original career plans did not lie in music.
Daedalus Burn
Sweet relief comes to Madison for the throngs of teenagers bemoaning the fact that the creative age of classic rock essentially came to an end with the '70s. For every guy with sort of long hair who would, in a moment, trade in his collection of Led Zeppelin T-shirts for the opportunity to travel back in time and see them in concert, that sweet relief comes tonight in the form of a Dallas-based band called The Secret Machines.

The original Woodstock festival is possibly the most historic and remembered music festival in history. American music festivals, however, have not been the same since. In 1994, Woodstock was recreated but became a sad show of people trying to mimic the glory of the past. Again in 1999, Woodstock \celebrated"" its 30th anniversary, which ended in rioting and destruction.
In the 1960s, who would have thought we would see music sold next to kitchen appliances and vacuum cleaners.
As always, Hollywood unleashed a bevy of winter films catering to the tastes of Academy voters and the wallets of the mass moviegoing public. Sorting out the worthless from the worthwhile can be a difficult task; luckily, we've done it for you.
Death hath no aroma like the stench of failure that follows Rosario Dawson's every career move. In her few short years in Hollywood, Dawson has taken roles in flops with greater frequency and consistency than any actor of her generation.
