...spent too much time listening to its Beastie Boys and Rage Against the Machine albums. This summer Bizkit is basking in the kind of major exposure any new group would trade its nose rings for: a slot on the Ozzfest concert tour, an appearance on MTV's Spring Break, airplay on tastemaking KROQ radio in Los Angeles and a debut album, Three Dollar Bill, Y'All, that cracked the Billboard...
...radio stations this year for 10-second commercials to run with songs by Garth Brooks, Steve Wariner and Suzy Bogguss. The ads remind the listener of the singer's name, the record label and where the album can be bought. Though the label does not pay for airplay, the commercials (which run only when the song is played) are an obvious incentive for the station to play the records more often. Capitol Nashville CEO Pat Quigley says he's so pleased with the results that he intends to expand his campaign to 100 markets...

Though a stray Broadway hit might get radio airplay (Don't Cry for Me, Argentina), and a whiff of something like rock occasionally stirs the Great White Way (Rent), Broadway became a separate and self-contained musical domain, irrelevant to the most creative musicians of the rock generation...

An easygoing, conversational tone stamps out any question of pop rock pretentiousness--she is a normal person unaffected in her personal life by widespread radio airplay. Whether discussing her favorite Boston bands (Trona, Gravel Pit, Sterlings), pausing to discuss her mother's daily phone call or thinking about the dinner awaiting her, she is in every way a normal person...
Still enjoying regular airplay, Third Eye Blind's "Semi-Charmed Life" was the summer anthem in my suburban circle of friends. It embodied our insouciant attitudes toward life as we spent the summer months together. The song's awesome combination of calculated brilliance, rebellious lyrical themes and the lead singer's solid, warm attack create an unforgettable tune. Emanating from all of this, the song represents the youthful belief that nothing can ever go wrong in life-a sentiment that inherently appeals to adolescent culture...
