...informed by grunge’s grimy sense of grievance, Grohl’s voice is distinctly smoother than Cobain’s, at least until he looses his trademark, teeth-baring howl. One By One is a rock album far more than a grunge hangover, from the glammy sheen of “Have It All” to the bluesy solo on “Come Back...
Without his trusty shades, most of Paul Oakenfold’s celebrity sheen seems to vanish. But when I ask him how much his life actually resembles that of a glorious jet-setting DJ, he answers “80 percent” matter-of-factly enough to douse the glimpse I might have had of an everyman who just happens to enjoy spinning records.

Now--crisis in the situation room, Sir!--Lowe is making like Jim Jeffords and ditching the party. "As much as it hurts to admit it, it has been increasingly clear for quite a while that there was no longer a place for Sam Seaborn on The West Wing," he said...
