BOOM! Madden '04 impacts market again

By -Mitch Nelson · Thursday, Sept. 11,2003 12 a.m.

When EA Sports' "Madden 2004" came out, it had a lot to live up to. Players expected all their favorite features of the previous Madden titles, but with all the advancements we as video game players have grown to love from our favorite sports game.

We wanted the funk, and we got the funk

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 11,2003 12 a.m.

I of all people, am certainly not the most qualified to be reviewing a show by George Clinton & Parliament/Funkadelic. What knowledge I had of Clinton and Co. going into the show was this: P-Funk recorded the dope-ass likes of "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof of The Sucker)," "Flash Light" and "Atomic Dog" during the mid-to-late '70s and early '80s.

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Thursday, Sept. 11,2003 12 a.m.

'Rebel music from musicians not 'own'

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 11,2003 12 a.m.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, whose name spurs from the Marlon Brando/Lee Marvin '50s biker pic, The Wild One, seems to have come into its own with Take Them On, On Your Own -- the band's second album. Many of my contemporaries wrote B.R.M.C. off as nothing more than a bunch of Jesus and Mary Chain rip-offs following its self-titled debut three years ago.

Underground hip-hop at its extreme finest
