Gay rights when?

By Danielle Fleischman · Tuesday, Oct. 13,2009 10:36 p.m.

While thousands of gay rights activists flooded the streets of the nation’s capital to promote their lifestyle, there still remains an unanswered question: Are demonstrations such as these actually doing anything to promote their cause?

By Jess Meyer · Tuesday, Oct. 13,2009 6:15 p.m.

Give me a kilt

By Matt Sacks · Tuesday, Oct. 13,2009 6:13 p.m.

EDINBURGH, Scotland – Kilts. They’re funny-looking plaid skirts that are always an interesting thing to talk about but hard to understand.

In memoriam

Tuesday, Oct. 13,2009 5:53 p.m.

From Twin Peaks to Reunion, WEEKEND staffers reflect (and maybe cry over) their favorite television programs that were canceled too soon.

"Music for Men"

Spread the 'Gossip' around

By Mickey Woods · Tuesday, Oct. 13,2009 5:31 p.m.

Listen up fellas, Beth Ditto of Gossip doesn’t like you, despite what the title of the band’s latest effort, “Music For Men,” may suggest.

"American Ride"

A more-sentimental Keith

Tuesday, Oct. 13,2009 5:26 p.m.

Since the debut of his eponymous album in 1993, Toby Keith has risen to the top of country music charts repeatedly over the last 16 years. Now, 13 studio albums and several CMT Flameworthy awards later, Keith has come out with another album that may soon follow its predecessors.

“Heartbreak on Vinyl”

Blake Lewis thinks he can dance

Tuesday, Oct. 13,2009 5:22 p.m.

After coming in second place to Jordin Sparks on his season of “American Idol,” Blake Lewis sort of dropped off the face of the earth. His debut effort, “Audio Day Dream,” was released without fanfare and failed to pick up any mainstream love, despite being catchy as all get out and getting a few good reviews.

"This is Us"

Backstreet’s back with a boring album

By Haley Adams · Tuesday, Oct. 13,2009 5:18 p.m.

If you’ve been a Backstreet Boys fan since “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart),” you’ll want to like this album. But while some songs are catchy, the group lacks the maturity they should have after 16 years together.

“There Is No Enemy”

Building on a career’s worth of consistency

By Brian McFillen · Tuesday, Oct. 13,2009 5:14 p.m.

About a month ago, I argued that Yo La Tengo has demonstrated extraordinarily consistent talent throughout its career.  The same could easily be said of Built to Spill, and the band’s seventh and most recent album, “There Is No Enemy,” is no exception.

“Desperate Living”

Trying desperately to be original

By Thomas Miller · Tuesday, Oct. 13,2009 5:08 p.m.

HORSE the Band’s “Desperate Living” would be nearly indistinguishable from the sea of metal releases this year if it weren’t for the band’s obsession with "Nintendo."

"Anywhere But Here"

Breaking up is hard to do

By Cory Barker · Tuesday, Oct. 13,2009 5:03 p.m.

Mayday Parade’s 2007 effort “A Lesson In Romantics” took pop-punk fandom by storm, but songwriter and primary vocalist Jason Lancaster left the band amidst a flurry of hateful MySpace postings and he said/he said. Since then, fans assumed that follow-ups without Lancaster would be disappointing – but Mayday’s new record proves them wrong. Sort of.

"Crazy Love"

We’re not crazy about it

By Hanna Lohmeyer · Tuesday, Oct. 13,2009 4:57 p.m.

In his latest effort, Michael Buble moves away from his typical mix of big-band numbers and revamped versions of Sinatra classics. The voice of the sultry jazz singer has made millions of fans swoon worldwide, but “Crazy Love” is an odd mixture of styles for Buble.


No slowing Relient K

By Cory Barker · Tuesday, Oct. 13,2009 4:50 p.m.

Long mislabeled as a “Christian band,” Relient K have churned out sweetly satisfying pop-rock albums since 2003’s “Two Lefts Don’t Make a Right ... But Three Do,” and their newest effort “Forget and Not Slow Down” is their best yet.

Field Hockey

Tuesday, Oct. 13,2009 10:18 a.m.
