An unlikely combination, an unlikely fusion of genres, and an unlikely method of production -- if "Give Up," the debut from Postal Service, fails to be anything, it is orthodox. Postal Service is the collaboration of Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello, most recently of Death Cab for Cutie and Dntel, respectively.
Pure country: the two words sum up the life and 24-year career of one of country's biggest living legends, George Strait.
Anyone who claims the Grammy's are meaningless need look only at Norah Jones' post-nomination album sales or, along with her sales, India.Arie's public presence last year despite winning nothing.
Marvel Comics once had little success in getting movies made about its superheroes. DC Comics, Marvel's arch-nemesis in the comics industry, had seen its two foremost characters, Batman and Superman, turned into hugely successful film franchises that generated tons of money for the company.
If one can get past basic vegetable stereotypes -- think the Outback Steakhouse and fried rings -- there's a valuable metaphor to be gained from "The Onion." Think about it.
Massive Attack never was intended to be an electronic act. A product of the burgeoning hip-hop scene in late 1980s Bristol, Massive Attack crafted its debut, "Blue Lines," with intentions of sending hip-hop on a more layered and more down-tempo, albeit less danceable course.
Calling all John Mayer groupies and fanatics:Your digital bible has arrived! The 25 year-old guitarist just released his first concert DVD, "Any Given Thursday". Recorded live at the Oak Mountain Amphitheatre in Birmingham, Ala., the DVD showcases Mayer performing 16 of his most popular songs.
Take Idlewild's previous release, "100 Broken Windows," add one part water, mix, let it go stagnant for a few hours and the result is "The Remote Part," a more mature but slightly diluted version of the band. The Scottish quartet used to pack a punch and leave pretty bruises.
Why, Kate Hudson? Why? Why in God's name would you subject yourself to being in a movie so trivial, so predictable and so stupid that they should have been forthright and simply titled it "How To Lose Eight Bucks in Two Hours?" Kate Hudson is a great actress.
A few years ago, Jackie Chan was well known only to aficionados of martial arts flicks, having garnered marginal box office success in America with such films as "Rumble in the Bronx" and "Who Am I?"

Until now I never before had heard music that made me just want to take the CD and smash into oblivion.
When Billy Corgan deserted the music world two years ago, he buried the Smashing Pumpkins, the alt-rock juggernaut that dominated the early-mid 90s with ubiquitous hits like "Bullet with Butterfly Wings," "1979" and "Today." The Pumpkin's dissemination was hardly elegant, however, as its popularity and fair-weather following began to wane in the late 90s.
