Why is it that it takes a brutal death for some bands or musicians to reach their pinnacle of commercial popularity? Even though the likes of Elvis Presley, Jerry Garcia and Biggie Smalls did their best stuff while living (obviously), why was their deity status solidified only when they kicked the bucket? Although the Exploding Hearts were nowhere near and probably never will be along the lines of those names, they too gained their prominence in the power-pop genre after the tragic overturn of their van during their 2003 tour supporting their first and final release Guitar Romantic. Three of the four band members were killed; the fourth (guitarist Jerry Six) received minor injuries and has since then found a home with a similarly leather clad quartet called Nice Boys.

Few agree on the Pierce Brosnan-era of Bond flicks—some say he's the best since the Bond we measure all Bonds by, Sean Connery, while others claim he doesn't even stack up to Timothy Dalton—but they got us revved up about the franchise again. It's not that the Brosnan movies weren't fun, but after ""Goldeneye"" got our attention, they got sloppy fast, with ""Die Another Day"" approaching a level of camp unmatched since ""Moonraker."" When Bond becomes a full-blown cartoon, it's time to go back to the well, and the latest 007 adventure, ""Casino Royale,"" is a very promising step in a different, but gratifying, direction.
