"Goodbye Horses"
Y'know that scene in The Silence of the Lambs when serial killer Buffalo Bill tucks his crotch between his legs and dances naked to an obscure '80s synth-pop song before sewing a suit made of human skin? Well, you can now rest easy -- after years of searching for that song, I've finally found it. "Goodbye Horses" is the only original song recorded by the short-lived, enigmatic Q Lazzarus. Think Gary Numan or OMD, only more soulful and amazing. I dare you to not do the crotch dance.

Good News for People Who Love Bad News
It was bound to happen. With a release date of March 30th, Modest Mouse's insanely anticipated new album has already reached the Internet due to a radio station broadcast. But don't get your Kazaa-panties in a bunch -- the audio quality is less than stellar. With that being said, the FM-quality Good News is far better than anything that has come out in months. You will dance, flip out, cry and swoon over Modest Mouse's latest offering. The best compliment in this download age is to say this is an album worth owning.

Oasis
Some people may say "Oasis blows," and these people are the kind of people that have no idea what they are talking about. Yes, they may be "whiny," as some would claim, and they may be insane, and drunks, and, yes, their more recent stuff isn't all the great, but Definitely Maybe, (What's The Story) and Be Here Now are brilliant albums, and if you can't recognize that, you are just ridiculous. There -- I said it.
