Napster has been meeting with the big labels steadily, but except for the deal with Bertelsmann, it has not yet got to yes. Richard Parsons, co-chief operating officer of AOL Time Warner, a major music distributor (and parent company of TIME), told reporters earlier this month that he had yet to see an acceptable business model from Napster...
...worse, pop music is otherwise going through one of those moments when the general run of things is so toddling--Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys--that skinny white boys who talk a little tough, meaning Eminem, get to seem like a big deal. So if you happen to be a parent in, say, your 40s or 50s, nobody would blame you if you just turned away from pop music altogether.

...shouting "F___" a few dozen times on every album. (Or even "I wanna f___ you like an animal," as Trent Reznor famously offered on one of his Nine Inch Nails albums.)

Call me paranoid, but I started to fear that children who never feel the need to make their...
...more complete view of the Florida vote, that will have to wait until two separate counts of the whole state are completed. The Herald and its parent, the Knight Ridder chain of newspapers, has counted all but two counties. (Officials in upstate Duval and Holmes counties have postponed the recount, fearing further disruption if the ballots were subpoenaed in lawsuits.) Meanwhile, a consortium of news organizations, including the Associated Press, the New York Times and CNN, has hired the National Opinion Research Center, a non-profit firm out of the University of Chicago, to examine nearly 200,000 ballots that...
