New Shoes to Fill
As the bassist for both Ozzy and Voivod, Jason Newsted is proof that good things come to those who rock.

If you think you're busier than Jason Newsted, then congratulations on being absolutely wrong. After joining Voivod and earning the bass slot in Ozzy's backup band (recently vacated by Rob Trujillo, who left to take Jason's old spot in Metallica), Jason's real fun has just begun. (more)

The Good, the Bad and the Pussy
Tales of Al Green, flying 2x4s, tractors and kittens, as told by Nashville Pussy.

As time goes on, Nashville Pussy just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Their no-frills, no-manners, no-apologies style of southern rock and roll has earned them a Grammy nomination and taken them around the world for virtually non-stop tours.

It is most certainly a step up from the life of the average rap FAN: tightwad parents, increasing fast-food prices, a slow and unreliable Internet connection, failing grades at school. This guide hopes to move the reader from category "B" to category "A" by showing you how you can build up your own wardrobe of rap-related accessories (heretofore referred to as "bling"), all at bargain prices!

Dollar Binge
Scouring the Bay Area music stores' dollar clearance bins for diamonds in the rough

Ah, the dollar bin. It takes many forms, from the vast crapucopia of forgotten and unknown CDs at Amoeba to the wasteland of failed major label tax write-offs available for the plucking on half.com. For the omnivorous music nerd, after a lifetime of blowing scads of money on out-of-print EPs and exorbitant imports, it’s a rare thrill to get a new addition to the collection for the cost of a taco.
