If Kevin Johnson could have avoided serious injuries as an NBA player, who knows where he would be now? The fiery point guard for the Phoenix Suns might have made the Basketball Hall of Fame, led a different life and never become mayor of Sacramento. Johnson has been mayor for one year now, and at 43, he is a young man in a new game. KJ oozes vitality. Yet Johnson's gleaming potential is stunted again...

Cold Pumas are a Brighton band with a talent for repetition and noise. 'Jela' is a pounding, insistent groove, fast and jerky with a dark disco throb, a sort of danced-up Joy Division. I managed to play it at the wrong speed and it still sounded pavement-shaking amazing. 'A Tempting Haunt' is more fiercely percussive Wire-esque artrock with almost apocalyptic notes of doom. On the flipside, the remixes...

Most will know him as the all out and very funny front man and principle songwriter of the Foo Fighters. He has also worked with groups such as Queens of the Stone Age, Tenacious D, the Prodigy and Nine Inch Nails. The Foo Fighters...

British-rock apologists Q magazine (they're like the Rolling Stone for people who like Oasis) have unleashed their list of the best albums of 2009, and it is, without question, the worst list of 2009. And there have been some bad lists. Like every one involving Sarah Palin. But yeah, I don't know much, but I do know Kasabian DID NOT MAKE 2009's BEST ALBUM. THEY DIDN'T. And putting Mika, Noah and the...
