Smallville is the story of a teen Clark Kent (Tom Welling) before he becomes Superman. Twelve years ago (the story has been moved to the present, the better to work current music into the soundtrack), Clark's parents found him wandering naked amid the wreckage of a spaceship in a Kansas cornfield, a fact they have hidden from him. Clark knows he is unnaturally strong--his dad won't let him play football lest he hurt someone--but forced to hide his powers, he's considered a nerd at school. There is a lot of corn in Smallville, Kans...
Also by 1998, Gob was working with the big-budget motion picture industry. They covered The Rolling Stones’ standard, “Paint It Black” for the soundtrack of Artisan Pictures’ feature film Stir of Echoes. Starring Kevin Bacon, the film was released internationally and viewed by millions—about as mainstream as it gets...
...compliment. But to reinforce the pre-existing hype, nostalgia has been hanging oppressively in air for a band whose musical roots include punk and brit-pop. Such a noble rock lineage evokes memories of music’s halcyon days where songs were not a product nor a soundtrack for a car commercial, but rather signified subversion and an affront to the establishment. Arguably, that time never existed and the Strokes are simply a cleverly marketed band that have struck a chord with music critics disaffected with the cookie-cutter teen sensations and the eviscerating rap-rock fusion. Still, responsibility...
...singularly impressive array of prepubescent has-beens. Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears have also warbled and shimmied their respective ways into brazen, busty music icons. However, after a summer dominated by the multi-diva scream-fest “Lady Marmalade” from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, bubblegum pop seems to have momentarily burst. From its ashes, a new breed of artists has risen—still barely out of (or still attending) high school, but with more poise, more maturity, more substance and certainly more fully clothed than the vocalists who have dominated music charts over the past...
...bulk of the '90s, the perceived incompatibility of these genres was more than musical; it was subcultural. The cheerleader listened to pop, the wannabe-street kid listened to rap, the aspiring Sundance auteur with the sideways haircut listened to punk. When the genres did mix, like on the soundtrack for the forgettable 1993 thriller Judgment Night, it was with breathless pomp and circumstance (News flash: Pearl Jam rockin' and Cypress Hill rappin' on the same track! Very likely kicking back and sharing a doobie!). Now, not only is there nothing remarkable about a band that stirs rock...
