Lockgroove's name is dangerously self-descriptive. It makes clear that band locks onto grooves. But it does not make clear that these grooves are more like the deep, black grooves of a rock record than the groovy grooves of jazz. The band's dense style may resemble the deep, black, concentric grooves of records, but their first release is actually on compact disc. The name of the CD is Rewired. That name is also descriptive; since the album was released in mid-1998, Lockgroove's sound is sure to have changed--to have been rewired, so to speak...

Crowning these indignities, the iMac has no delete button, only backspace--so to fix your mistakes, you have to use those *#&@$% arrow keys...
When the movie begins, it is America in the 1960's, and the ugly realities of racial politics are flaring up all over again. Rubin Carter, played by Denzel Washington, is a poor black boy made good as a professional boxer, "Hurricane" Carter. As a street urchin growing up in racist New Jersey, he defends a friend against a white pedophile and is unjustly sent to a correction home by a sinister police officer, Depalowski (Dan Hedaya). Escaping from the home, he makes it good as an army officer until Depalowski, hell-bent on persecuting Carter, sends him back...
