Ten Reasons (Free subscription) | 01/03/2008
Apropos of nothing (except perhaps my mood), one of my favorite bands, and arguably the greatest band to come out of the Seattle grunge scene in the early nineties, is Screaming Trees. They never enjoyed the success of Pearl Jam or Nirvana, most likely because their songs weren't fueled by angst, then the emotion du jour . There's a beautiful sadness to their music, due in large part to the haunting...

So Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and Pearl Jam are creating an anti-war soundtrack to accompany an anti-war movie. It contains over 30 songs, which is about 30 too many. If there is one thing I learned from Fergie, whose "my Humps" taught me to open my mind - especially about humps- it's that protest songs need to be punchy. They need not drag on. Frankly, this album sounds like a quagmire,...
