While they came into jut as voice of the late-'80s folky singer/songwriter revival get together, the Indigo Girls had staying ability where other artists from the same epoch rapidly weakened. Their two-women-with-guitars rule may not seem identical revolutionary on paper, simply the combination of two discrete personalities and songwriting styles provided tension and an interesting balance. Emily Saliers, hailing from the more traditional Joni Mitchell school, had a gentler wakeless, was more composite musically, and leaned toward the pinch and spiritual. Meanwhile, Amy Ray drew to a great extent from the singer/songwriter aspects of strong-armer stone, citing influences such as the Jam, the Pretenders, and Hüsker Dü for her more abrasive and organize approach. In a decade-plus of recording, they managed to gather respectable mainstream success and keep their rabid gist following.


Amy Ray and Emily Saliers showtime took the name Indigo Girls spell living in Atlanta in 1985, although they had been playacting unitedly since the early '80s, at times under the name the B-Band. In 1986, they recorded an main self-titled EP and followed in 1987 with the full-length Unknown Fire -- only 7,000 copies were pressed and identical little stake was generated. Things changed quick in 1988 when, in the rouse of the succeeder of Suzanne Vega, Tracy Chapman, and 10,000 Maniacs, they seemed to meet nicely into "the next big thing." Epic Records was quick to preindication them.


Anil Girls, released in 1989, was an fantabulous national debut. A guest vocal by R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe ("Thomas Kyd Fears") gave them initial college radio credibility and the single "Finisher to Fine" was a reach -- the record album eventually broke the Top 30 and earned a Grammy for Best Folk Recording that year. By the end of 1991, it achieved atomic number 78 gross sales. Unusual Fire was reissued in the fall with a extend of "Commence Together," replacement ane of the original tracks.


The followup, 1990's Nomads Indians Saints, didn't fare quite an as well. It was nominated for a Grammy and finally reached gold status, merely the material wasn't closely as strong. A live EP, Endorse on the Bus, Y'All, was released in 1991 spell they regrouped. It was likewise certified gold and was nominative for a Grammy.


In outpouring of 1992, they made a comeback with Rites of Passage, which debuted at number 22 and went atomic number 78 by the year's end. The album showed an increasing diversity and some of their strongest songs to escort. Almost exactly 2 years after, Swamp Ophelia was released and entered the charts at number nine; it went gold by the end of the year. A double live album, 1200 Curfews, was released in 1995 and the a slap-up deal anticipated followup to Swamp Ophelia, Shaming of the Sun, followed in 1997. The duo's future try, Come on Now Social, appeared two long time later.


2002's Become You was stripped-down down in comparing to the orchestration of the Girls' more recent do do work, and 2004's All That We Let In was mostly regarded as their strongest book album in years. A rarities put appeared the undermentioned class, marking Saliers and Ray's two decades together as Indigo Girls, and their utmost for Epic. Shortly thenceforth, Saliers and Ray sign-language a five-album conduct with Hollywood. The Mitchell Froom-produced Despite Our Differences followed in September 2006.

Toronto rock'n'roll singer Alannah Myles exhausted several long time struggling unsuccessfully to batten down a Canadian record handle, so she and songwriting collaborator Christopher Ward place their sights confederacy of the edge. Myles recorded a demonstration and picture for the birdcall "Just One Kiss," which got the attention of several companies and complete up on her self-titled 1989 debut album. "Lovemaking Is" established her in her home rural area and made Alannah Myles the biggest-selling debut in Canadian history, just it was the smoky, carnal "Black Velvet" that became a worldwide hit, attain number one and only in the U.S. An American release of "Sexual love Is" fizzled as a followup, and Myles thus far remains something of a one-hit wonderment to U.S. audiences. She released a follow-up album, Rockinghorse, in 1992.

'Mythbusters' Blows Up -- Literally


Steaks, ninjas and moon landings highlight the latest episodes of Discovery Channel hit "Mythbusters," which starts a run of new episodes tonight (9 ET/PT).

Eclectic topics, to be sure. But that's precisely what's made science-based "Mythbusters" enduring and endearing to viewers. With an appeal that spreads far beyond laboratory geeks and pre-teens who enjoy watching poppycock being winded up, "Mythbusters" was Discovery's top-performing series during the first quarter of 2008 and has been among its to the highest degree popular shows since 2005.


The first of 11 new episodes aims at boeuf lovers as hosts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage do what they do best � use pyrotechny and explosives, this sentence to determine their suitableness as steak tenderizers.


Separately, the show's "build team" of Kari Byron, Grant Imahara and Tory Belleci comport an every bit thorough series of experiments in an abandoned suburban subdivision to determine what kind of driver gets better gas mileage: stressed-out or relaxed?





Hyneman and Savage � special-effects experts with top Hollywood pedigrees � have been using science to harbour TV audiences since 2003, determining the validity of more than 300 urban legends, myths, folklore, sayings and oddities. Can you actually tear fish in a gun barrel? (The impact wave from the heater kills the fish.) Use chili peppers to revolt sharks? (Nope.) Find a needle in a haystack? (Possibly.)


"The register is entertainment, but the science part is intended to be thought-provoking," says Hyneman, noting a doozy of an episode Aug. 27 examining the opening that the government arranged the moon landings of 1969 and the early 1970s.


Frequently, the pair will conduct thorough experiments to prove � or confute � a point. Tonight's meat-tenderizing procedures include military explosives, laundry dryers, 40-foot-long air cannons and testing devices similar to the government's.


Yet voice of what makes "Mythbusters" a success is the interaction of the subdued Hyneman with the more playful, excitable Savage, a former child actor. The pair's popularity has earned appearances on talk shows and cameos, including CBS hit "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."

Steel Trap - movie review

If companies can still get sued for false advertising, I have a case against Dimension
Extreme. Steel Trap is anything but what Dimension makes it out to be. The DVD cover
art shows a woman inside a steel trap and the tagline reads, "surviving each floor
is the name of the game." One can only conclude that the film involves victims escaping
steel traps. Right?



Wrong. If Steel Trap was actually about surviving different floors of horrific traps
and surprises, it might have made for a decent Saturday night guilty pleasure. There
are no steel traps, though. Not one.



The movie begins with promise but quickly becomes a run-of-the-mill, below-average
serial killer flick. The victims are guests at an extravagant party at the top of
an abandoned building. A short while into the party, five of them receive text message
invites to a private gathering being held a few floors down.



Once the guests (and two uninvited crashers) arrive, they discover a well-decorated
room with name tags waiting for each of them. The tags read: Pig, Loser, Two-Faced,
Loverboy, and Heartless. The invited guests have been tricked. (Didn't see that coming,
did ya!?) A psychopath has locked them inside the abandoned floors, and their name
tags hint at the methods he will use to kill them.



Imagine a golfer with perfect form, but who stops swinging as soon as he makes contact
with the ball. It would be a disaster; spectators would laugh. And audiences wil
l laugh at Steel Trap. It has potential, but doesn't know what to do with it. Screenwriters
Garbrielle Galanter and Luis C�mara (who also directs) have good ideas, but they don't
follow through. Instead of expanding upon the lines the film draws for itself during
the first act, it scribbles off the page with the penmanship of a Kindergartener.
As soon as the first guest meets his demise, the plot loses all of its momentum and becomes
a frail clothesline for unmemorable slasher sequences.



Aside from the lack of steel traps, the film's other plot points disappoint, as well.
The guests do ascend and decend floors as the tagline suggests, but there are no
surprises or even traps in store, only a masked killer who chases them while they
scamper around like decapitated chickens. The nametag gimmick isn't developed thoroughly,
nor is it taken far enough. There just isn't much that makes Steel Trap worth a gander.

This week, we won't leave you totally in a lurch: We have Nas talking about a young artist who's motivated him, and DJ Kay Slay is working with one of the great legends.

The Streets Is Talking: News & Notes From The Underground

Nas and Jay are working together tough -- newcomer Jay Electronica, not Roc Boy Jay-Z. The Queens legend is giving the upstart a chance to shine on Nas' controversially titled LP Nigger.

"When I met Jay Electronica, he handed me a CD and said, 'You gotta hear this one song,' " Nas recalled. " ... I put it in the car, and he did 'The World Is Yours' over. The way he flipped it was crazy. I called him immediately and was like, 'Where you at?'

"Jay Electronica is the future," he added. "He's what rappers are trying to be or what they are aspiring to be. He's the whole package. He has visual ideas for videos, and he could show you what he's been working on. He has a whole different take on his production. The guy's an incredible writer. I like his music. He was like, 'Let's go. Let's get in the studio.' He gave me a lot of his time." ...

LL Cool J is almost done with his first-ever mixtape, The Return of the G.O.A.T., and DJ Kay Slay is assisting him in making that happen. The Drama King says L will also have guests such as Busta Rhymes on the street CD. "Anybody that's featured on the mixtape has to be on a classic LL beat," Kay said.

The Harlem street figure also told us that Cool J wanted to heat things up in advance of his Exit 13 LP. "LL's got an album coming out," Slay continued. "I think he's just aware that he has to have that street presence and make people aware he still is the G.O.A.T. and he can still spit. A lot of people are under the misconception that LL is making those grown-and-sexy records, that he ain't with the street vibe anymore. I think he wanted to step back and let people know he's still the G.O.A.T."

Slay -- who also helped Ray J put together All I Feel -- is working on his next hip-hop compilation, More Than a DJ. The lineup includes, of all people, Uncle Murda. Everyone knows there's been a long feud between Murda's faction and Slay and Papoose's camp.

"At the end of the day, their camp has a lot of individuals that got common sense just like me and my camp," Slay said of how the beef turned peaceful. "Wasn't nobody gonna benefit from the situation. We already know where situations that spill from music into the streets could go at."

Slay said Hood, his former partner and Murda's current manager, reached out so they could cease all the nonsense.

Cool J's mixtape is dropping in a couple of weeks. Slay's album will be out before the end of the year.
