...song is about arms,” one of the better songs on the CD, the two vocalists can be seen as iconic of both these trends: the guitarist-vocalist has a full beard with a strange haircut, holes in his baggy pants, and looks vaguely dirty, while the bassist-vocalist has carefully coifed hair and wears a tight, stylish outfit with a sweatband around his wrist. In the video, while the former stands relatively still as the song begins, the latter jumps around and does a bunch of fake/ironic aerobic stretches. Over the course of the song, the first...
...Formed in 1994, partly in response to the noise-driven, retaliatory grunge music that dominated airwaves at the time, Low stripped its sound down to barely a whisper, producing fragile songs for a series of independent labels. Comprised of husband-wife team Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker, along with bassist Zak Sally, the band continues to produce songs that tell of a secret turmoil.

Multimillionaires at 22, the members of Green Day settled into a routine of churning out blink-and-they're-over records followed closely by triumphant world tours. They were not quite...
...Cuban millionaire publisher who lost his fortune when the family fled Fidel Castro's revolution in 1960, Cristina is driven to succeed. By 1979, blind ambition catapulted her to the editorship of Cosmopolitan en Espa??ol. In 1983, she met and later married Marcos Avila, a ponytailed bassist for Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine who became her manager. She started her own TV show in 1989. Avila says he doesn't know the dollar worth of his wife or their business, Cristina Saralegui Enterprises, though he acknowledges it is in the millions of dollars. "This is a sort...
