...words-you-can't-say-on-TV routine--there are no stone tablets to clarify that thou shalt never utter this word or show that body part. The FCC will rule on indecency after the fact--sometimes twice. At the 2003 Golden Globes, singer Bono of U2 called his band's winning Best Original Song from a Film "f___ing brilliant." In October 2003, the FCC ruled that the expletive was not indecent, because Bono was not describing a sex act. The following March, the commission reversed itself, though it did not fine NBC. After the ABC affiliates passed...
...launchpad for African musicians to go global. Not all local artists feel the station's early playlist matches that goal. "I wish they played less Jay-Z and Beyoncé and more African videos," says Thandiswa Mazwai, who shot to fame as the lead singer of platinum-selling South African band Bongo Maffin before releasing her first solo album last year.

This poorly thought out decision gets him the assignment to infiltrate the ranks of the "Hooded Ones," a band of tentacled, soul-eating monsters bent on taking over the castle and getting out of their self-described "tacky" and "gloomy" subterranean den. Luckily for Herbert, Marvin, the Keeper's right hand man, a ferocious, winged warrior with the head of a crocodile, accompanies him. On the softer side, Marvin also...
...hypothetical snob is probably drooling with anticipation for this one, but it’s really hard to blame a person for feeling that way. Kentucky-based Slint were like the Emily Dickinson of indie rock—a band that recorded two albums in obscurity back in 1989 and 1991 and broke up before the public even had a chance to tap into their life-changing sound...
