...final twenty minutes. Almost the entire set was devoted to tracks off their upcoming album, Soundsystem, and only the recently released single "Come Original" evoked any response, and only a minimal one at that. The pit was thrashing at first, but after an hour died down to an exhausted gasp. SA Martinez and Nick Hexum bounced around the stage in a vain attempt at reviving the energy, but finally relinquished to the bored faces by playing their hits--including "Down"--and exiting the building. The only time the show truly got "all mixed up" was afterwards during my battle with...

...purchases for every one. Oh, and lest we forget, the double CD was available in six (!) different collectible editions (did he really think that his fans would by 12 CDs??). But the latest attempt is perhaps the most pathetic; in his effort to transcend country, he's evolved into --gasp!--a macho rock star. Portraying "Chris Gaines," Brooks is hoping the novelty of a dye job and a funky goatee will have the masses running to the nearest Virgin Megastore. The reviews certainly aren't going to attract them--critics have been brutal. He'll learn a lesson the hard...

...probably end up compromising in much the same manner. After all, you won't want to give up on your true passion, the one that makes you get up out of bed each morning even when you went to sleep just an hour before. CityStep is not (gasp!) the passion that drives my life. It is only the cry of my inner dancer, begging to get her moment in the spotlight...

...says. "I am writing about someone, Voldemort, who is evil. And rather than make him a pantomime villain, the only way to show how evil it is to take a life is to kill someone the reader cares about." Can she possibly mean (oh!) Hermione, (no!) Ron or (gasp!) Harry himself? Rowling discloses nothing, but she does note that the children who contact her "are always most worried I'm going to kill Ron. It shows how sharp they are. They've watched so many movies where the hero's best friend gets killed...

...back, baby. On the road to Super Bowl 2000, TIME Daily's famed pigskin prognosticators welcome some fresh (and ? gasp! ? female) gray matter to its two-man brain trust with the addition of "Mean" Josie Greene. She's new to the staff and ready to gauge the '99 gridiron alongside her Adam's-appled colleagues. Defending champ L.I. Slim is definitely feeling the pressure. From the new fearsome threesome, the locks of the week and the guesses of the rest. We'll be betting in Yugoslav dinars because ? as always ? it's for entertainment purposes only, lest someone get their...
