608820
At this Shins concert there was nothing, really, to see: just a bunch of guys concentrating on their instruments, barely moving.

Who would have thought that the clatter of Slayerâs rhythm section would someday become one of those archaic folk forms worth preserving?

Anybody who knows anything about music knows that the Ramones were the best worst band ever. That old rumor that they had four chords and half a brain among them is only half wrong; by the time

When it comes to music, the Web can be like a giant megaphone that ratchets up the decibel level of buzz to deafening proportions.

The cover art on Chris Cornell&#39;s  second solo album suggests a folk record from the early &#39;60s  (and the title suggests a Kansas cover lurking about  somewhere). But the music inside is strictly crunchy,  dare-we-say-grungy rock straight out of the &#39;90s that Cornell  helped shape with Soundgarden. &quot;Ghosts&quot; sports a nostalgically  Seattle-ish minor-chord riff and appropriately soaring chorus;  &quot;No Such Thing&quot; out-Velvet Revolvers Scott Weiland; and  meaty-sounding ballads &quot;Disappearing Act&quot; and &quot;Silence&quot; end the  record in unusually strong fashion. Elsewhere, the  headline-grabbing cover of &quot;Billie Jean&quot; is well intentioned  but still a little silly, although it boasts a crazy, Eddie Van  Halen-sounding solo. The best thing here is &quot;You Know My Name&quot;  from last fall&#39;s &quot;Casino Royale,&quot;: which is some of Cornell&#39;s  most uncomplicated and accessible music to date.

Young bands look like they work at KinkoÂs. But one rock god dresses the part.

Pop music is rich in stories of lost opportunities and misfortune, with former Beatles drummer Pete Best one of the best-known examples of someone who missed out on the fame and riches of his former bandmates.

Tycho:   One of the questions during a a panel at PAX had to do with the italicised line at the end of each day's post.  They're almost always song lyrics, and back before we were paying for bandwidth (and before RIAA rape gangs were prowling the web) these lines used to link directly to the MP3.  I maintained the practice afterward because it's sort of like a song of the day, and I like the idea that someone might be struck by a strange turn of phrase and seek out a piece of music.  It also serves as a gauge of my mental state at the moment.  Today's song, for example, is Stan Rodgers' incredible live version of the sea shanty "Rolling Down To Old Maui," which Pandora kicked out after about a week of tuning the station.  I've listened to it about thirty times today.    The person who asked the question at the con complimented my musical tastes, and I accepted the compliment, but I'm almost always late to the scene.  I just bought Interpol's "Turn On The Bright Lights," for chrissakes.  I'm mostly lucky to know people who do have unique library.  I told him I would mention a few of my favorite bands on the site, but then I forgot.  Essentially, it's music that cool people were listening to a decade ago (where applicable).  I am a musical carrion bird.    He wanted me to list off a few bands, and I said I would last week, but then I forgot.  These are the first ten albums I could think of.    "Starless" by Shiner
