Love of His Life
Q: Explain to me the nature of your dispute with Courtney Love - was it all about money? We were doing a Nirvana greatest hits album, and we wanted to put on it the song You Know Youre Right, which is the last song we ever recorded. It definitely needed to see the light of day. There has been a lot of emphasis on its commercial and cultural value, which I dont necessarily pay attention to. I just think its a great song..

Foo Fighters Still, Only Less Ferocious

Behind the Glitz, Scrappy but Cool
There was something resembling a light show at the Foo Fighters concert on Sunday night at Roseland -- strobes, some flashing of the groups Art Deco typeface logo -- but it felt unnecessary, a layering of pure formality. Not just because Dave Grohl, the bands singer-guitarist-songwriter frontman, is wired enough without special effects; more because he and his band spurn the mythology and posing of rock. I cant pull off the rock talk, he said at one juncture, apologizing for the lack of patter between songs. I just feel like a dork. Earlier, before the song Doll, he seemed to reveal something personal: This song is about being in exactly the position Im in now, he said..

Paris Hilton Sings and the Pixies Return
AIR -- When computer nerds need some slow jams for a night of virtual lovin, who might they turn to? Why, the most sensitive French duo ever to tickle a Moog synthesizer, Air. Probably best known for their amazing contribution to the soundtrack for Sofia Coppolas Virgin Suicides, theyve released another wonderful collection of 10cc-meets-Kraftwerk nuggets, Talkie Walkie (Astralwerks). Its sure to make even the most macho programmers weep. THE PIXIES -- Face it, the quiet/loud dynamic thats dominated alternative radio for the last 14 years can be attributed to one and only one band, the Pixies. Undoubtedly one of the most influential groups of the new rock generation, they are back on tour to reclaim their status as the coolest American band since, well, possibly ever. In the 12 years since the band broke up, weve been blessed with some incredible solo albums from the singer and guitarist Frank Black; the bassist Kim Deal has graced us with the Breeders and the Amps; the drummer David Lovering has become a magician; and the guitarist Joey Santiago, hes just bad (as in good). There is a new greatest-hits CD, a two-and-a-half-hour DVD (both on 4AD) and an 11-city tour kicking off next month. Not to be missed, the Pixies are a live band like no other. Be prepared for an over-capacity sing-along, night after night.

The Real Dave Grohl: Rocks Andy Kaufman
DAVE GROHL -- Some say Mr. Grohl, the former drummer in Nirvana, became one of rocks most surprisingly successful frontmen with his band the Foo Fighters. Others say that after his recent stint as a drummer in Queens of the Stone Age, his true talent is and always has been behind the trap set. But perhaps they are all wrong. Mr. Grohls calling may be Vegas or the Catskills or at least his own HBO comedy special. Hes no Phil Collins or John Bonham, but rather hes rocks Andy Kaufman. His personality, his videos, his guest appearances and his forthcoming mock-heavy-metal side project, Probot, all bear this out, but nothing does so more than the new Foo Fighters DVD/EP (RCA), which contains several videos by the band, including one for Low. Shot like a home movie, it features Mr. Grohl and the actor, comedian and singer Jack Black checking into a motel room. Inside, they goof off, destroy the room and maul each other to comic effect before dressing up as women and passing out together. In a Kaufman-esque stunt, before the release of the video, the band leaked excerpts to Web sites, claiming that it was unauthorized party footage of Mr. Grohl and Mr. Black..
