...title of the album is apt, as CKY has made no secret of its disdain for the trendy pop confections on the airwaves. Yet they seem intent on affecting their revolution from within the system. Their videos have played on TRL, and much of their fame has come by way of association with the MTV show “Jackass.” The music on Infiltrate is far more radio-friendly than previous albums, which included lyrics like “I caught my daughter giving head to my brother.” The emotions are more coded...

The French legal system finally put him in jail; now it has sprung him after he served barely a third...
...vast majority of party members and officials expressed disdain for Lienemann's accusations and stressed the urgency of restoring unity and cohesion. But successive speakers also made it evident that the Socialist Party?like the French left in general?is split between market-friendly "modernizers," such as former Economy Ministers Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Laurent Fabius, and harder leftists like former Employment Minister Martine Aubry and party heavyweight Henri Emmanuelli...
