The Lolls harm indie rock image
If one were to place a beatnik in a beatnik-sized blender, the moans of pain that would be audible from the victim as the device's blades tore off his or her limbs would be similar to what the Lolls' debut CD sounds like. The San Francisco duo's "Come On" album is beyond simplistic, and on several of the album's 10 tracks, the yelling of lead singer Gail Conway sounds part beatnik and part illiterate. The indie music scene is important to music, because it gives many artists without the resources of a major label a chance to shine.

Distillers' 'Coral Fang' a must for grunge fans
Every once in a while, an album is released which gives hope to cynical people. I treat most new music the way an elderly, porch-sitting woman treats the young brats who wander on her lawn - by throwing cats at them and vulgarly expressing her anger, "You damn kids, get the hell off my property." Well, when it comes to most recent albums, I'd rather not be subjected to someone's poor attempt at gaining popularity any more than that old lady wants kids riding their 10-speeds on her grass. But today I won't be throwing cats at anyone, because I've got the newest CD by The Distillers, a foursome fronted by guitarist and vocalist Brody Dalle.

Scary 'Chainsaw Massacre' a cut above other current horror flicks
Of the horror movies that have made their way to theaters recently, killing teenager after horny teenager, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is by far the best. The movie is flawed by the stereotypical car that won't start and the plot is sketchy, but Leatherface still will scare your date. This remake of the 1974 horror movie starts with a group of teens off to see a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert in Texas.
