...line, finding music is straightforward: you hear about new bands from friends or critics, see them on Leno or Letterman and buy their CDs from the stacks of new releases that are placed right up front in most record stores. Online, however, the degree of difficulty goes up. There are innumerable independent bands on the Web that aren't being written up in the mainstream press and aren't getting played on TV or radio. There aren't enough hours in the day for a single listener to get a handle on all these microbands. Unless you've got rabbit...

Michele Ravera's e-mail address vividly describes her new hobby--heylady youreonfire@hotmail.com Ravera's a fire spinner. To get her jollies, she plays with two clumps of flaming, kerosene-soaked cotton wadding connected by a chain. As Letterman would say, Kids, don't try this at home. Visually spectacular--and spectacularly dangerous--fire spinning can now be seen not just at the Burning Man festival or in Phish-concert parking lots but also at New York City's touristy South Street Seaport and Los Angeles' Venice Beach. "When those flames are whooshing around me," sighs Ravera, "I feel like...

Given Letterman's caustic streak, one has to assume Kathie...

...self-consciously audacious MTV show, TOM GREEN has mimed having sex with a dead moose and tricked his grandmother into licking a sexual device, so is it any wonder that kindred spirit DREW BARRYMORE--who gleefully bared her breasts for David Letterman--snapped him up before anyone else could? The couple announced their engagement following a six-month romance that included Green's successful treatment for testicular cancer and Barrymore's difficult stay on the set of the Charlie's Angels movie. It's Green's first engagement, Barrymore's third (she was briefly married to a barkeep...

Sure, there are Betty people and there are Veronica people. Letterman people and Leno people. PC people and Mac people. Even Bush people and Gore people, as hard as it may be sometimes to figure out the difference. But SUV people and minivan people? That's one distinction that has the entire auto industry scratching its collective head, or more correctly, paying legions of "experts" to ponder the question. Because much of the demographic information of the typical buyer is the same for each vehicle type - fortysomething, married, with kids - marketers of both vehicles have been forced to seek deeper...
