Timbaland saves another album

By Natalie A. Trout · Thursday, Sept. 18,2003 12 a.m.

The words "white rapper" bring one of two people to mind: Eminem or Vanilla Ice. Left in the dust is Georgia native Bubba Sparxxx. But his recent album Deliverance, with production help from Timbaland, just might have enough "spark" to make him a white rapper to remember.

Ritter, Cash, Bronson... An Appreciation

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 18,2003 12 a.m.

Death… it's an unavoidable part of everyone's life. It just seems strange when it happens to someone in the limelight, and even more so when said figures are "bigger than life." Men such as Charles Bronson and Johnny Cash shouldn't have succumbed to pneumonia or diabetes - they were too tough for that.

Adult Swim can carry a 'Toon

WK's latest offering merely mediocre

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 18,2003 12 a.m.

Andrew W.K. does for hard rock what the forefathers and subsequent imitators of the old school hip-hop game did for their respective genre -- lighten it up. With I Get Wet, and even more so with his latest, The Wolf, much of the doom and gloom inherent to metal is excised and replaced with schlocky '80s throwbacks and party-hearty sentiments.

Catching this fever ain't so bad

By C. Warner Sills and Jake Bilinski · Thursday, Sept. 18,2003 12 a.m.

A midst a slew of this season's revitalization of the horror/thriller genre comes Cabin Fever, hot on the tail of some serious pre-release hype. Peter Jackson himself shut down production on Return of the King twice to screen this romp to the cast and crew.

The "Reality" of the Average Joe Schmo

By -Paul Straw · Thursday, Sept. 18,2003 12 a.m.

By Alex Pappas · Thursday, Sept. 18,2003 12 a.m.

Mayer proves he's no longer 'Square'

By Casey Comstock · Thursday, Sept. 18,2003 12 a.m.
