...roadside motels. And, love ’em or hate ’em, there are certain things everyone must know about the never-ending rides. First off, unlike in every movie that has ever depicted minor league baseball, there is no guy in the back strumming a guitar or playing a harmonica. Fortunately for the hearing-impaired, there is always some kind of slapstick comedy playing at a volume between blaring and deafening. Secondly, trying to navigate your way through the human minefield to the bathroom located in the back of the bus is more difficult than finding...
WOLFMOTHER DIMENSION There's a 2006 copyright on the back, but you can be forgiven for thinking this Aussie trio's debut is a misplaced artifact from an early Led Zeppelin session.

Presidential advisers say Snow will get more latitude than his predecessors, since Bush needs a better-armed advocate in tough times. "He understands, like I understand, that the press is vital to our democracy," Bush said in the briefing room. Snow plans to start briefing in mid-May dodging rocks instead of throwing...
...Well, I think one thing I got out of the class…was maybe an even greater attention to counterpoint. A lot of rock music doesn’t pay much attention to that—a lot of times, the guitar line and the vocal line move together. I was really into that on “Pinkerton...
