If you haven't heard Boris yet, make doing so No. 1 on your to-do list. This Japanese three-piece boasts mastery of a number of genres, including but not limited to punk rock, psychedelic rock, many metal varieties, ambient, and a number of sounds that have yet to be (or may never be) classified. Indeed, the one lasting tag you can attach to this band is superhuman.""

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.).

Sometimes you really can judge an album by its cover, as is the case with Anti-Flag's latest addition, The Bright Lights of America. The album cover is adorned by an eagle in business attire perched in front of a monochromatic city, eerily similar to the cover of Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory. Such unimaginative packaging just screams: We're punk, we're cool, we're liberal, follow us - but, by all means, make sure you stop by the merch tent on the way out."" Like its cover, this album is boring and unimagined. While it has a few moments, Bright Lights is, for the most part, both quiet and preachy - two things punk rock should never be.

Let's Get It On"" by Marvin Gaye
To mark Sunday night's 50th Annual Grammy Awards - and perhaps to stimulate enough nostalgia to get older folks through all the modern flotsam that would follow - the ceremony began with a clip of Frank Sinatra from the very first Grammys back in 1958. In introducing the world to the then-new award show, Sinatra spoke proudly about how it was designed not to recognize record sales or popularity, but rather to honor merit in the recording arts.
Animation is often appreciated for its depiction of the fictional. The fevered dreams of animators and the exaggerated sight gags impossible with props and actors in the flesh. Films like Persepolis"" demonstrate how much more animation can do when applied to harsh reality.

The warmth of a campfire will bring out the heart of a story, the passion of a song and the front-man of friends. In Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten,"" director Julien Temple turns again to the punk scene - in the 1980s he directed ""The Great Rock 'n Roll Swindle"" starring the Sex Pistols - in an intimate look at the adventurous life of the late Clash frontman. The film manages to capture Strummer's famous political edge while also focusing on his struggle to avoid appearing as a sell-out.
