The Rosebuds bloom on debut album

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 12 a.m.

Sometimes, indie rock is high concept. Other times, you just make do with what you have. On their debut The Rosebuds Make Out, The Rosebuds make arresting indie pop-rock with just a guitar, keyboard and bass. Maybe they're high concept, or maybe they couldn't find anyone else to play with them.

Go back to Australia

By Erin Revtyak · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 12 a.m.

Trying to hit the mainstream seems to be the goal these days. On his new Stop All the World Now, singer/songwriter/master looper Howie Day has tried too hard to create an album catering to the Top 40 (think U2, wait ... think U2 in the last five years).

Sex Inc.

By C. Warner Sills and Mark Casey · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 12 a.m.

Sex sells. This law of nature is the reason people will read this article. It's the reason the title alone might hook some from the second they pick up the magazine. It's for this reason nearly every city in America has at least one strip club. It's why there's a little adult bookstore on street corners the world over.

Ludacris needs mouf-to-mouf resuscitation

By Natalie A. Trout · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 6:40 p.m.

Ludacris went all out with the chicken and beer theme for his newest album. The CD is wrapped in plastic that resembles a dirty South tub of chicken. The actual CD jacket lists the songs under "Nutrition Facts."

Rock and roll's praying mantises

By C. Warner Sills and -Mitchell Tellstrom · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 6:34 p.m.

Dave Matthews, John Mayer and the guy from Dashboard Confessional are three guys I want to punch in the face. Just like all rock stars, these guys want to get laid; however, their ability to disguise what they're after is at least impressive.

Many bands still Young at heart

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 6:33 p.m.

Maybe it's just natural to see things through the prism that you want to see. If the only band one has ever heard is the Beatles, then a lot of what one listens to thereafter will sound inferior. If the only band one has ever heard is Limp Bizkit, then one probably will never want to listen to rock music again.

Givin' it up for the high school set

By -Kehla West · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 6:32 p.m.

Think trucker hats, crowd surfing and an average attendee age of 15. Yep, it's an All-American Rejects concert. AAR, along with special guests Hoobastank, Ozomatli and Diffuser, performed Saturday at the Murat Egyptian Room as part of the Nokia Unwired Tour 2003.

Drive through traffic for 'Italian Job'

By -Kehla West · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 6:30 p.m.

The DVD release of The Italian Job is just like the movie itself -- big, loud and fun. The movie, although not critically acclaimed, is a nice return to a summer release just as the weather gets cold. Moreover, the 45 minutes of special features truly make the DVD.

Back in 'Stereo' after death

By C. Warner Sills and Mia Partlow · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 6:27 p.m.

An Instant O In The Universe, Stereolab's first release since the passing of bandmate Mary Hansen, the band creates an EP that, to be honest, falls a little flat. There are a huge amount of good things that can be said about the record, however.

Death Cab's indie rocks 'trans'forms listeners

By C. Warner Sills and Brian Reid · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 6:21 p.m.

Death Cab For Cutie has an uncanny knack for writing (and I hate to use this word) cute, perfect little indie pop songs. Through four albums, they never stray too far from their formula, but expand enough each time to keep the music fresh.

The Fire Theft keeps it Real

By C. Warner Sills and Brian Reid · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 6:20 p.m.

Anyone who claims to be an underground music fan from the mid-'90s until the present is likely to have heard of Sunny Day Real Estate. Whether the association with them is based on their formal connections to the Foo Fighters or with the actual music itself (Sunny Day released the definitive emo album of the '90s, 1994's Diary), these guys will undoubtedly go down as a band to anticipate for years to come.

No one will cry when this dog is put down

By -Paul Straw · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 6:19 p.m.

Somebody should put this dog to sleep. Good Boy! is a story of essentially one joke repeated in as many ways as possible. When Owen (Liam Aiken) gains the ability to understand dogs, viewers get let in to every single possible dog joke and pun imaginable. Guess what? Poodles are snooty and prissy. Also, those tiny little wiener dogs? Yeah they're nervous.

More Scottish indie pop to hold

By C. Warner Sills and Melissa Harrold · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 6:17 p.m.

Belle & Sebastian, the most beloved of Scottish indie bands, have just released their newest album of sweet, delicate pop tunes. Dear Catastrophe Waitress presents a pleasant '60s pop feel with the surprisingly straightforward, sometimes depressing and always clever lyrics that have become Belle & Sebastian's trademark.

I see dead people, and they suck

By C. Warner Sills and Jake Bilinski · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 6:11 p.m.

I want this hour and a half of my life back. Sadly, we can't always have what we want. Instead I'd like to propose everyone avoid this movie like the wretched cinematic toilet paper stain it is.
