Review: "Singles: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Deluxe Edition"
A Tribute Told in Vignettes... Well, I don't like to reduce us to just being part of the "Seattle Sound." I'd like to think of us as expanding more. Like, we're huge in Europe right now. I mean, we've got records... uh, a big record just broke in Belgium. -Cliff Poncier, Singles A Cameron Crowe film tends to have a "killer" soundtrack. Listening to a Crowe soundtrack is an intriguing adventure filled with carefully curated juxtapositions. In fact, the experience is a lot like the

Hanging by a Moment: Lifehouse to Release Greatest Hits Compilation
Pop quiz: what was the biggest single of 2001? Here's a hint: it's one of only three that never actually topped the Billboard Hot 100 for a single week. That answer would be "Hanging by a Moment," the breakthrough single by Los Angeles pop-rockers Lifehouse. Now, 17 years and four Top 10 albums later, the group is slated to release a greatest-hits compilation through UMe. Led by smoky-voiced, spiritual-not-religious songwriter Jason Wade, Lifehouse first began its run as Blyss, an alternative

For many, Adam West will always be the one, true Batman. The self-described "Bright Knight" passed away yesterday at the age of 88 following a brief battle with leukemia.

West survived being typecast in Hollywood to establish himself to a new generation with his numerous voiceover performances on the big and
