Mid-size cities want you

·

If there's any chance you'll ever graduate, pay close attention: mid-size cities want you to know that, contrary to popular belief, they're super-cool and you should do them a teeny-tiny favor and move your entire life into one of them after college.

The fans made him do it

·

A family, after having suffered a tragedy involving their child, has every right to want retribution. That family also has the right to ask for recompense from the opposing guilty party.

Twilight Singers success is Dulli noted

·

In "Seinfeld," they called it "hand" -- the power of having the upper hand in the relationship. In a much grittier way, Greg Dulli sings about nothing but hand. With his previous band the Afghan Whigs, he sang, "I'm gonna turn on you/Before you turn on me." The debonair gentleman was knowing in his jerkiness.

Pleasant 'nightmares,' Tennessee style

·

From Ashes Rise is one of the best bands you've never heard. Their fall/winter tour kicks off this November to bring Nightmares to life in front of a few lucky cities -- a wall of audible aggression.

Distillers are a Dalle show

·

Three albums strong, The Distillers have become a mainstay of rockers everywhere. Rising from and surviving the stagnant punk rock cesspool, the band has released Coral Fang, letting the world know they're a step ahead of other mohawk-rocking punks.



Having a Ball ...old school style

·

In the '80s, while most of us were French/Tight (whatever you dorks called it) rolling our pants and teasing our hair (Aquanet forever!), rock bands such as Motley Crue, Twisted Sister and Guns N' Roses were shocking the airwaves and topping the charts.


Oldies but Goodies

·

If one thing's true about fashion, it's that old styles always come back. Whether we're talking about the hippie-chic fashion statements our parents attempted, the Mary Janes that our grandmothers might have worn or Travolta's famous bell bottoms, it's confirmed that fashion revolves cyclically ... where the return of the past is inevitable.


Halo impressive, but lacks golden touch

·

Although originally designed as a PC game after Microsoft's acquisition of developer Bungie, Halo was rerouted towards Xbox. Despite unnerving nearly all PC gamers, Halo met critical and popular acclaim, easily becoming the best launch title for the new console, and is arguably still the best game available for Xbox.
