Radiohead: The Best Of Review
The rock icons put together a satisfying but superfluous set. June 16, 2008 - A few years ago a colleague of mine reviewed a (then) just-released David Bowie best-of CD and wondered who would possibly buy such a disc; his argument was that fans would almost certainly have all of the included songs already, and nonfans would likely be disinterested in such a schizophrenic collection of songs and ...

A Liberated Voice, an Enslaved Soul
By now, less pop-obsessive viewers probably have had their fill of films about the rise and fall of the music scene in Manchester, England, in the late 1970s and early 1980s — the post-punk era.

Coldplay, Whistling Toward the Middle of the Road
Coldplay's new single, "Viva la Vida," is already ubiquitous — at least, 30 seconds of it. That the song is patently inoffensive in its wallpaper-like omnipresence on radio and television is a new wrinkle for the band. With a gentle, string-propelled melody and Chris Martin's plangent voice — for once not creaking through a falsetto while singing an instantly catchy line, "I used to rule the ...

Eddie Money Ready To Perform At SFCC
AVON PARK — As a Long Island, N.Y. police officer, Eddie Mahoney couldn't see himself in a uniform with short hair for 20 years. Trading in his badge for a microphone and with a slight name change, Eddie Money couldn't "Walk on Water," but he would go on to belt out a string of powerful rock songs from the late '70s and the 1980s.
