...ruthless efficiency. Is This It was criticized for mining riffs from Television, the Velvet Underground and Iggy Pop, and there's no ignoring the influences when drummer Fabrizio Moretti (also known as Drew Barrymore's boyfriend; I told you there were many reasons to hate them) bangs out a snare fill that would make Led Zeppelin's John Bonham sit bolt upright in his grave. But the Strokes don't agonize over their influences, they synthesize them, and songs like 12:51 and Between Love & Hate add up to more than the sum of their stolen parts because the band...
...sources say Mahmud has begun to talk of his travels with Saddam's sons in the days after U.S. forces tried to decapitate the regime with air strikes. U.S. officials last week were more confident than at any time since the end of the war that they may soon snare their main prey. "Our operations are making it very difficult for him to sleep at night, if he is still alive," says Colonel Stephen Hicks, the chief operations officer in Iraq...
More than 4 million Miss Spider books are in print, making the series as big a seller as Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes. How did she snare so many buyers?

Both discs contain the same 19 tracks, but one was recorded with the snare hits and techno zooms preferred by pop fans, whereas the other is sprinkled with mandolin and slide guitar for the country folk who first made Twain a star. A third disc, with what she calls "an Asian, Indian vibe," replaces the country disc in Europe and other parts, but everybody gets two CDs. She's gonna getcha either...
...Sorry Mama, I'm grown/ I must travel alone/ Ain't gonna follow no footsteps, I'm making my own" - it's still a powerful song. The music on both tracks (produced by Eminem) is intentionally simple. Three guitar chords, a few keyboard tinkles and the snap of a snare build tension in the verses and explode into every chorus. It's refined arena rock, but it works. The problem with 8 Mile is fairly simple: not enough Eminem. He performs on only five of the album's 16 songs, and in one he is part of his hard-core...
