Tom Morello’s second solo album as The Nightwatchman is, musically speaking anyway, a bit louder than last year’s One Man Revolution, although not in the same sense as his better known work with his big arena rock bands Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave.

What could they do? I think the only logical thing that one can think of in a situation like this, is to perform to 200 people with a megaphone in one hand, and a picket sign in the other (the picket sign, of course, being metaphorical). Rage Against The Machine and its followers marched on State Capitol Lawn in St. Paul and started raging like nobody’s business ... read more |

Finally, she offered me entrance, if I’d sign in, state my intended purpose, and agree to be chaperoned, all of which were unreasonable requests considering I had no real agenda and both the paper trail and escort could expose my plans of drunken carousing ... read more |

By the time RATM closes their initial set, I’ve made out and am roughly eight rows deep, smack dab in front of Zach’s sweaty frame. I’ve been stepped on, shoved, kicked in the face by a crowd surfer—and I’ve never felt so liberated. It was trendier for the other media members to watch from the safety of their tent ... read more |

Music has the ability to polarize our moods. It can serve as the catalyst to get our blood boiling or even pumping in certain South of the border directions. I’ll be honest: I’ve never been in a fight. I just don’t have the vindictive, alpha male characteristics required to chuck fists at another man, but even still, I’ll occasionally be in a fiery, hot-tempered mood and certain songs will push me near the edge, jeopardizing my good vibes equilibrium ... read more |

2007 was the year of the reunion. Long-awaited reunions, mediocre reunions, Anarchistic reunions, even one-hit wonder reunions. Band members veered apart, splintered off into solo mediocrity and than Kriss Krossed back, traipsing across the country with their original drummers.
