Music by Ev alternative Yup, I LOVE alterni-rock music. It's my thing. Bands like Dishwalla, Tonic, The Foo Fighters, the verve pipe, K's Choice, The Pumpkins, Live (my neighbors, right over in York, PA) and Blur keep me going. Some generes, like ska, are stuffed into the alternative section at National Record Mart, and that pisses me off. First of all, the fallowing groupss are NOT alternative: HANSON, NO DOUBT, SPICE GIRLS, REEL BIG FISH, TYPE O NEGITIVE (although cool, not alternative), and MORRISEY. No Doubt is ska, dammit (bad ska but ska nonetheless)! Would someone please tell Columbia House to take them out of the Alterni-rock listings?

SKA I hate ska, the only two ska groups worth listening to are Less Than Jake and The Bosstones. Sugar Ray is NOT ska, they have two ska songs, the rest of their record and their previous record, is freak metal, which is good.

freak metal Freak is a good thing. Freak bands breaking into the mainstream metal scene are: KoRn, Tool, Snot (they're great, they have a kick-ass song called Stoopid which can be fund on the box), and Piss on Me

Indie Indie music really isn't a genere. I mean Superchunk and Jai don't exactally go into the same section at the record store. But Indie music is definatly cool. Some of the coolest indie bands I've been able to catch a listen at are Push, Stone Soup, Mars Needs Woman, Piss On Me and if I'm not mistaken, Beck happens to be on an indie label! Most bands were indie at one time, how about Better Than Ezra, who's first and second records (Surprize and Deluxe) were indie releases on their own label, Swell Records. Of course some big label bands seem to think being indie is so cool, they wanna do it too! U2's Bono recently announced that he was an indie artist, huh, isn't that amazing, last time I checked, Island Records was one of the seven major labels (aka: 7 wonders of the world).

hit music Hit music has been crap ever since Kurt Cobain died. Rap sucks, ska sucks, pop sucks, Mariah Carey sounds like someone put her leg in a bear trap, Michael Jackson will soon be unable to sing, when his nose falls off, so I'm not going to worry about that, Wu-Tang are soooo frigging stupid! Howard Stern's celebrity harrasser, John, was talking to them, when asked about Lady Diana, they replied, "Uh, uh, yo, yo, yo, Wu-Tang fuever, ya'll know what Um sayin'!?",... need I say more about representation of rap? And if someone doesn't kill the Spice Girls, I will! What the hey?? Feminists who make their livings by showing more cleavage than you're average hooker? WTF is this mess? And if I hear "Girl Power" come out of their skanky brittish mouths one more time, I'll kill myself. See? This is why I love Howard Stern, he bashes those bizzaches like they need it! Who's your favorite Spice Girl, Kurt? And Kurt Loader replies, "Uh, the one on the left." Who's Chris Rock's favorite Spice Girl? "Skanky Spice." Who's Conan O'Brien's favorite Spice Girl? "Fatty Spice." God I love late night TV,... Okay, lemmie say a few things about Hanson, first off, they wouldn't be so bad if they didn't take themselves so seriously. They get all ticked when you call them kids but do you think that if they were 32, 34 and 36 anyone would care what an mmmbop was? NO! No one would give a flying crap! The Backstreet Boys and 98 Degrees,... ohmigawd since when did the Pepsi guy get a job as a singer???? Hanson, Backstreet Boys and 98 degrees are all Spice Girls with penises, spank you very much!

Manson Am I the only one who feels bad for this guy?? Yeah! I feel bad for him! So kill me, if nothing else,... IT'S JUST MUSIC give the dude a break. He's not satan, he hates the devil! He's just not to hip on God. That's all. I think he should protest something himself, like something pretaining to religion,.... I actually trust that he's a logical, breathing, feeling human being. How would you like it of someone stood outside your work and told you were going to hell and get away 'cos they didn't want you there?
