That is not a joke. Actually, it’s a big, big joke, but it’s a serious joke. Those tattooed kids who pretend to be “alternative”? Don’t kid yourself: what they really want is to fit in with the popular kids and bang the popular girls. It’s just like high school, with money. Okay, I take that back: the music business is supposedly junior high school with money. Hollywood is high school with money. Either way, it’s a bunch of people who will contract V.D. far, far earlier than I ever will. “Syphilis, how it started off with just a kiss…”

1. A 2-fer of both Ian McCulloch‘s solo albums on Sire, each with bonus tracks.
2. A 2-disc set of Electrafixion‘s lone album which includes a myriad of B-sides, remixes, and live tracks…and, no, it is not overkill, thank you very much.
3. Magnitude, a complete collection of The Wild Swans‘ recordings for Sire Records, each with bonus tracks. (And if you don’t know who The Wild Swans were, read up on them here, then go buy this set.)
…I give you Rob Harvilla of the Village Voice and his hilarious graphical dissertation on Mims’ “This Is Why I’m Hot.”
I love Rush, but I hated their last two albums. However, their new song “Far Cry,” from their upcoming album Snakes & Arrows, is the most relaxed I’ve heard them sound in years. It’s about time.
Alas, the new Cracked Magazine – edited by Michael Ian Black – has been cancelled after only 3 issues…but, thankfully, Cracked.com will continue to exist online, so why not start in with your support by checking out their list of the 20 worst rhymes in pop music history. It’s not actually as comprehensive as the title suggests, since it leaves out America (“In the desert you can remember your name / ‘Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain”), but it earns music geek points for including Steve Miller’s “The Last Wombat in Mecca.” Wow, that’s obscure…
