...scene has gotten to the point where “anyone selling less than 10,000 records calls themselves underground,” regardless of their values and the messages they convey. This stereotype has been changing recently, as artists such as Outkast, Cee-Lo Green and Kanye West prove that it is possible to succeed commercially and still please demanding underground critics...
...HATE TO ASK THIS, BUT DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING ABOUT BEN AND J. LO ON THE SET? They were constantly having sex in front of everyone on the floor of the set, and then they would beat each other with big sticks. No, they were very nice. Ben is just what he appears to be on television--a very straightforward, outgoing sort of person.

...stop saying, after almost every one, that his show is going to be canceled. Chappelle's first season, though uneven, is actually better than the first season of the classic '80s multiracial sketch show In Living Color (out April 6 on DVD), partly because that was before J.

Tallahassee, the first release on his new label, was a concept album that concretized the “alpha-series...
...Mountain Goats’ latest album may come as a shock to longtime Goats listeners. Gone is the trademark boombox-taped lo-fi Mountain Goats sound and in its place is full-blown studio sound courtesy of well-respected producer Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian) and on well-respected label 4AD (Pixies, Cocteau Twins, Throwing Muses). While the sound on Tallahassee may be much more polished than any prior Mountain Goats release, all of their strengths are plainly apparent. Frontman and only permanent Goat John Darnielle bolsters his claim to the title of indie-rock’s poet laureate...
