...sticker on the cover of You Are Here labels Cary Pierce as co-founder of Jackopierce, but it would be a mistake to use Pierce's former title to define his debut solo album. On You Are Here, Pierce eschews his college cult status in favor of straight-from-the-heart acoustic-based rockers. The album crunches into its opening track, "The Best Thing," with a funky ferocity that nevertheless shows off Pierce's soulful voice and harmonics, while "Transatlantic" is a true tear-the-top-off rocker. There are quieter moments as well: with the assistance of hometown friend...
...Even though it is a recording, Rewired does show this trippy quality. While the album's blurry red cover art does indicate Lockgroove's hard, masculine sound, it doesn't convey how psychedelic that music can be. It throbs, like a beating red heart. "Come On," a signature track, uses minutes of wavy keyboard woven in with guitar and cymbals to introduce a rhythmic fusion of rock and elecronic music.

Perhaps it was McCottry's intensity: he jumped into the crowd...
...Ever since he got lost in Disney s Frontier Land when he was 8, Josh has had a fear of large crowds. But, that didn t stop FM from forcing him to drive to New York, in the middle of the night, with an orthodontically adorned Asian boy, to cover MTV s "So You Want to Be A VJ Contest." It seems that FM s crack team of personnel managers couldn t find a single other person capable of operating a manually focusing camera. Josh stood in line for over seven hours, amidst hoards of dirty, scary people...
