...that is sure to get hammered by the greener-than-thou Europeans. If he comes home without an agreement, his environmentalist allies will jeer; if the U.S. agrees to a more stringent timetable to reduce emissions, the big-money industry and labor interests he needs in 2000 will scream. Which is why Gore's political advisers tried to talk him out of going to Kyoto, cornering him in a White House hallway a week before the conference began. Gore shut the argument down. "If I weren't going to run for President, there would be no discussion of whether...
...many of the residents were (and are) "nice," and they were the ones who screamed loudest for the police to crack down on the crime wave. "The bosses would come back from community meetings with a string of complaints, and we were told to get on it--just get it done," says Blondie.

Less than Jake's "I Think I Love You" should continue the upward rise for this ska band that isn't afraid to sell out. The eels' "Your Lucky Day in Hell" continues with the spooky theme and Ear2000 closes the soundtrack by blasting...
...however, comes from the wholly different sound of "Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. Sung with a deep, eerie voice, the song carries an extremely mellow groove. Mysterious sounds radiate in the background--ultimately conspiring with the vocals to create a stunningly arcane song. While the Scream 2 soundtrack may sell because it includes bands like the Foo Fighters and Dave Matthews Band, the real appeal comes from offerings like this one and those from lesser-known groups...
