• Meteora: The Rise of Linkin Park

  While there may be other bands that have made their names merging hip hop sensibility with skate punk guitar riffs, none do it with the same passion that Linkin Park seems to expend in their pursuit of perfection. And nowhere is that fact more evident than on Meteora.

Probably 44+ CD's filled with MP3s and 150+ store bought Cds... The question is, of those 150+ cds I bought, how much money went to the actual artist who made the music?

• Flim-Flam!

  Individual sections of this are quite good, and valuable reading for anyone who might find themselves debating crazy people about the nature of the Bermuda Triangle. Taken as a whole, though, it eventually becomes fairly tiresome, as most such books do in the end.
