...opening track, the straight-ahead-rocker "Sellout", Hatfield displays more confidence than on her entire previous album, 1995's curiously sedated Only Everything. On that release, attempts to make her music harder often just made it sludgy. Here, the raw pop energy of her older releases is elegantly mixed with urgent, driving power chords and uncharacteristically noisy guitar solos. The song's lyrics provide an ironic commentary on the undernourished sound and sales of Only Everything. "It's not a sellout if nobody buys it/I can't be blamed if nobody likes...
...funeral, it reached 17,000 and re-entered the Billboard Top-100 charts. During the same time, a Greatest Hits collection went from sales of 4,300 to 15,600 copies. John's musical eulogy also helped this week's opening show in North Carolina achieve the fastest sellout in an arena's history.

After antagonizing baseball officials and teams on both sides of the Pacific--"Headache-y," he was called--Irabu signed a four-year, $12.8 million contract with the world champs this spring. Last week he paid immediate dividends by attracting a near sellout crowd of 51,901 and turning them all into Irabu-sters as he struck out nine Tigers and allowed five hits and two runs in 6 2/3 innings in a remarkably poised major league debut. When Torre took him out of the game in the seventh, Irabu was given a standing...
...about apiaries than we really need to know. And are left wondering if some dynamics in the direction, some perversity in the development of characters, some surprises in the story--qualities that animated Lone Star, which so richly filled this slot last summer--would constitute that much of a sellout. Nunez's film neither floats like a butterfly nor stings like a bee. It just drones...
