...Girl, put down his guitar and bought a pair of turntables. "I got tired of playing the guitar--it's simple as that," says Watt, who now does a weekly deejay stint at a London club and whose scratching is featured on Everything But the Girl's new CD Temperamental. "For the moment, working on my deejay skills seems like an interesting area to explore...
...soft-spoken Kotova eschews makeup and wears her hair pulled back severely, as if to persuade suspicious critics that her modeling days are over. Not that her first CD leaves any doubt of it. The glamour-girl album art notwithstanding, her expressive performances of such yearning miniatures as Tchaikovsky's D Minor Nocturne and Rachmaninoff's Vocalise--the second of which she orchestrated--are clearly the work of a gifted artist. Her tone is warm and focused, her interpretations restrained yet quietly intense. No less striking are her own compositions, especially Sketches from the Catwalk, a set of laconic, minimalist...
...Ford Modeling Agency, where the fact that she looks like a cross between Michelle Pfeiffer and Uma Thurman was considered an asset, not a distraction. Now Kotova, who turns 28 this month, is off the runways and back onstage, touring the U.S. and promoting her self-titled debut CD on Philips Classics.

Her lyrics, though, can be admirably biting. The album's last song, God Is Watching, condemns "new slavery prison systems/ Holding one in four Black American brothers." If Cole is looking...
...able to read them under the bedcovers with a flashlight, but now every issue of Mad magazine can be yours. This mammoth seven-CD collection (for PC only) is unabated puerile nostalgia: a comprehensive archive from the pre-Alfred E. Neuman years (1952-56) through 1998. The multimedia element lets you complete all the fold-ins, listen to all the plastic 7-in. (Free Gift!) singles and watch short videos of legendary artists like Mort Drucker at work. The comic strips themselves look a little faded and grainy on a computer monitor, but at least future generations will see what...
