...very aware of how treacherous the music industry is, particularly nowadays," says Manson. "The industry doesn't want to encourage fan loyalty over the long term, they just want a quick hit." That isn't always the rule, of course: the Dave Matthews Band's uneven new CD, Before These Crowded Streets, just debuted atop the Billboard charts, helped by a loyal fan following established through constant, Grateful Dead-like touring. It would be fascinating to see Garbage also buck the trend toward planned pop obsolescence and develop some of their intriguing, still coalescing, musical ideas...
Just try to find a new Sinatra. Scan the billboard album charts, and you'll find no one openly Sinatraesque.

After ambitious but sometimes strained projects like last year's 3-CD recording of his Pulitzer-prizewinning oratorio, Blood on the Fields, and a jazz reworking of Stravinsky's L'Histoire du Soldat with which Marsalis was touring the country the past two weeks, it's a relief to hear him relaxed and just playing for a change. With his unrivaled command...
