Ramones barely survive to see the end of the century

If there’s a lesson to be learned from End of the Century, a new documentary about punk rock forefathers the Ramones, it’s that sometimes it sucks to be a rock star.

The Ramones, in distilling rock and roll in the early ‘70s with speeding, sloppy guitars, simplistic lyrics and an intensity matched by few bands before or since, deserve much of the credit for the creation of punk rock.

Leisure Ledger

There are some things too intrinsically good for even the most jaded hipster to reject. Little Debbie cakes, classes that have no finals and Johnny Depp come to mind immediately, but chief among these perfect ideas and/or individuals is Lance Armstrong.

Critical Voices: The Black Keys

In the popular press’ rush to drool all over The White Stripes two years ago, The Black Keys, a far superior alternative in the white-boy, blues-rock genre, was significantly overlooked.

A few vocal critics, however, have harshly labeled the band as unimaginative because its particular mix of brooding guitar rock and dark lyrics bore more than a passing resemblance to 1970’s post-punk acts like Joy Division and Television.

Better Than Marriage

A friend of mine recently told me about a literary journal started at the University of Virginia in which a column entitled “War on Words” takes issue with a certain detestable, overused or elementary word in the English language each week. “An interesting concept,” I thought, spacing out in my economics class one day, with odd visions of becoming the next William Safire (at least in one respect) dancing through my head.

RJD2 lets the good times roll

It’s pretty hard to understand how R.J. Krohn, a white boy from Ohio, became one of today’s most renowned instrumental hip-hop artists. In 1996, Josh Davis, a.k.a. DJ Shadow, laid down his debut record, a revolutionary hip-hop/turntable album called Endtroducing.
