Not completely unexpectedly, pop singer/damsel-in-distress Britney Spears didn't convince a Los Angeles County Judge yesterday that it would be a good idea if Jayden James and Sean Preston saw their mother more often. The judge denied visitation rights until next month. Oh yeah, mere Spears also didn't actually make it into the court house which could have adversely affected the judge's ruling in the case. Her ex-husband and a good father (perhaps by default only) Kevin Federline showed up early wearing a mohawk and a suit. Thanks AP!

Skip the intro, I've already told you what's going on. The best bit is at 8:40, when Sargent asks where Santa lives, and you can tell he's not sure if the Hollow Earther is going to contradict him.

Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones' small bombshell in the current issue of Rolling Stone — "There is a band meeting in January" — will be more than enough to set off new tremors of hope among fans for a full-fledged tour following the group's December 10th reunion performance at the O2 arena in London.

Johnny Depp Sings

Photo After belting for the first time in "Sweeney Todd," Depp rocks out on his life in music

Attend the tale of Johnny Depp: still Hollywood's most perverse superstar, he has followed up the family-friendly Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy with Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, a buckets-of-blood saga of cannibalism that is also — gulp! — a musical. That's right, Depp sings for the first time ever onscreen, and critics are warbling his praises for tackling the notoriously difficult score from theater legend Stephen Sondheim. This gripping adaptation of the 1979...

America's feedback futurists set the stage for the Year Punk Broke with this 1988 call to fuzz and moral rock action that is still — with its steel-rail riffs and tightrope walk between studio rigor and rehearsal-garage improvisation — Sonic Youth's best album. It was also their first great record of songs, proven by the way the avant-Nuggets punch of "Teen Age Riot" and "Silver Rocket" and the haunting clang of "Candle" and...

The Death of High Fidelity

Photo In the age of MP3s, sound quality is worse than ever

David Bendeth, a producer who works with rock bands like Hawthorne Heights and Paramore, knows that the albums he makes are often played through tiny computer speakers by fans who are busy surfing the Internet. So he's not surprised when record labels ask the mastering engineers who work on his CDs to crank up the sound levels so high that even the soft parts sound loud.

Over the past decade and a half, a revolution in recording technology has changed the way albums are produced, mixed and...
