Fogerty

Fogerty rides again

By Tyler James Perry · Wednesday, Sept. 9,2009 9:47 p.m.

John Fogerty is hardly the first rock legend to release an all-country album, but the former Creedence Clearwater Revival front man has always had a heart for the southern sound of country, swamp and blues.

black crowes

Crowes channel bluegrass sound

By Tyler James Perry · Wednesday, Sept. 9,2009 9:46 p.m.

A year after releasing “Warpaint,” the Black Crowes have returned with their next collection of tunes “Before the Frost ...”. Much like “Warpaint,” this release shows the band letting its eclectic array of styles bleed through, mixing genres such as country, bluegrass and even disco into a rock base.

Houston falters, but still a diva

By Brett Eppley · Wednesday, Sept. 9,2009 9:43 p.m.

First of all, let me make this clear: Whitney Houston is not the same diva she once was. She has been through years of alleged drug abuse, an embarrassing reality show with her ex-husband and she completely dropped off the radar of popular music in recent years.

Songz for the bedroom

By Bryan Payton · Wednesday, Sept. 9,2009 9:40 p.m.

Trey Songz may need a girl, but it’s safe to say he doesn’t need much else on his third album “Ready.”

‘I want my MTV!’

By Kelsey McArdle · Wednesday, Sept. 9,2009 9:40 p.m.

For a channel that’s been around for 28 years, one would think that MTV would have finally perfected its model and revolutionized the merger between music and television. Well, I guess some applause is in order – but only a little.

used

Screaming made decent

By Jenna Blumenfeld · Wednesday, Sept. 9,2009 9:37 p.m.

Ten-year-old rock band The Used recently unleashed a much-anticipated fourth studio album, “Artwork.” Though the album is worth spending money on, some tracks are better than others.

heroes

‘Heroes’ without powers

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, Sept. 9,2009 9:34 p.m.

Oh, “Heroes.” Once the crowning jewel of television during its impressive-yet-overrated first season, horrible writing caught up with it, and now the program is nothing more than a washed-up hero trying to save people without powers.

Fall TV’s 5 themes to watch

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, Sept. 9,2009 9:32 p.m.

Every new season should bring new story lines, but over the past few years, we keep hearing about the same issues from the television industry – declining ratings, hemorrhaging audiences and the lack of break-out content.

supernatural

A better use of angels and demons

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, Sept. 9,2009 9:29 p.m.

Though entertaining and intriguing during its first three seasons, season four of “Supernatural” pushed the show to a whole new level of excellence.

extract

‘Extract’ is lacking in flavor

By Doug Evans · Wednesday, Sept. 9,2009 9:27 p.m.

Perhaps it is asking too much for director Mike Judge (“Idiocracy,” “Beavis and Butt-Head”) to duplicate the success of his now epic film “Office Space.” Similarly set in the workplace, though this time at a flavor-bottling factory, “Extract” lacks the memorable characters of its predecessor.

Rated for 'I' for Immature

By Brian Welk · Wednesday, Sept. 9,2009 9:23 p.m.

“Gamer” might have once been a good idea, a film about the psychological implications of controlling another human being all for the purposes of entertainment. But my guess is it soon became manufactured as a mash-up of “The Sims” and “Death Race” to market toward the video game-playing, cult film-watching, ADD fanboy that would hope (or believe) the world is obsessed with gaming, violence and S&M.

What would Don Draper do?

Wednesday, Sept. 9,2009 9:21 p.m.

When attempting to throw the perfect “Mad Men”-themed party, the key is to remember that simple question.

house

Doctor up the ‘House’ premiere

By Adam Lukach · Wednesday, Sept. 9,2009 9:15 p.m.

It’s time to get your diagnosis on as “House” approaches its sixth season. The premiere is Sept. 21, and a party to properly honor the dawning of the new season needs a few things.
