...song Kim, EMINEM rapped about wanting to slit KIM MATHERS' throat. For most couples, a murder threat with a backbeat would signal it's time to move on. But apparently the turbulent relationship between the hip-hop star and the high school sweetheart he divorced in 2001 hasn't died. Eminem recently told Detroit radio station WKQI that he and his ex "have reconciled and are probably going to remarry." After a relationship-induced suicide attempt (hers) and a "Rot in Pieces" belly tattoo (his) and lots of court battles over money and custody of daughter Hailie, 9, the reunion...
...More is there to make you think less. I'm trying to find a balance. You know the old Sun Records, the way they would sound with just the upright bass and guitar and snare drum? That's the sound I love the best. My sound is basically backbeat and Stratocaster guitar or an old Martin guitar. Playing with a synthesizer is not really as much fun as playing with an instrument.

During this time, Gagnon streamed reverb-enhanced “Simpsons” clips paired with a broken backbeat and whirring turntables. Upon starting the actual performance piece, Gagnon indulged in some very bizarre laptop electronica and trance that seemed centered around atonal passages matched with thumping bass and punchy drum loops.

...with political commentary astute for the ’80s but searing today. During the new track “Animal,” Stipe seemed almost confrontational, striding across the stage and staring straight into the eyes of the audience. The band backed him up with a booming backbeat that seemed to replicate the heartbeat of everyone staring up at Stipe...
...song “Narc” demonstrates the effectiveness of this layering technique: Beginning only with an angular guitar line, the song jumps to life with the sudden arrival of a surging bass line and steady backbeat. Interpol has a new swagger, is more direct and present. Banks’ familiar drone, tired but on pitch, remains an ideal complement for the shadowy sound his band churns out. The vocal melodies are catchy and diverse. The final product is more organic and less distant than the debut...
