Is this it again?
To the untrained eye, it would appear that Fabrizio Moretti is
vegging out happily, watching VH1 Classic in the comfy East Village
storefront office of Wiz Kid Management. But the 23-year-old is
actually haunted by a dark insecurity. He's reaching out for
approval, acceptance, some kind of relief. Finally, he can hold it
in no longer, and with the gravest of expressions, he asks, "Do you
like these pants?" I carefully examine the dark-blue jeans
stretched over his skinny legs. He braces himself. "Are they new?"
I ask. "Yeah," he answers. "They're new."

Tear Down the Internet!
Last week, I found myself in a debate about downloading music, a
debate I seem to have more and more. But this conversation was
different from the usual "Is this stealing, or is this not
stealing?" argument. Our dialogue had nothing to do with the ethics
or legality of getting free music off the Internet. What we were
discussing was why people like downloading music so much and what
it means for the future of rock'n'roll.

Faith No More
Eliza Dushku is Hollywood's secret superhero. Though the characters
for which she's most often recognized don't wear capes, spandex, or
utility belts, they all have a certain flair for arriving in the
nick of time. And like most costumed crusaders, their alter egos
rarely get credit for saving the day. As Dushku says of her latest
role, a woman with the ability to relive entire days of her
life,"She's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders and
can't look like she's carrying it on her face."

San Francisco, land of a thousand views. The Golden Gate Bridge
from Baker Beach: burnt sienna slicing cerulean sky. Chinatown from
Russian Hill: a giddy bazaar overflowing tiered streets. And, of
course, Dave Matthews from Lombard Street: pale and slouching. "Oh,
my God," gasps one viewer. "Dave!"

The Bronx, 'The Bronx' (White Drugs/Ferret)
By Sean Richardson 10.02.03 3:00 AM
The Bronx aren’t from New York, and even though their debut full-length is distributed by metal-core label Ferret, they’re not the next Ozzfest buzz band, either. They are, however, a fine young maximum-punk outfit who, like Hot Snakes, get their ecstatic tempos from garage rock and their noisy edge from hardcore.
