...thing to emerge from the indie-rock Petri dish in years--it's an adult bad-relationship tune ("I know I'm alone if I'm with or without you/But just being around you offers me another form of relief") punctuated by a hook-y guitar line and lead singer Jenny Lewis' bittersweet and oft-repeated wail that she's "bad news." It's notably smarter than anything else on this list. But, says Morning Becomes Eclectic DJ Nic Harocourt: "I played it on the show, and I couldn't stop singing along with the 'bad news' part.

He also knows he has done plenty to earn the title. As lead singer of the legendary '80s band the Smiths, Morrissey was quite possibly the unhappiest person in the world. What bonded him to his audience forever--and made him a prototype for Kurt Cobain--was his willingness to share. "There's no line between me and my material," says Morrissey. "If you claim...

For those visiting locales where malaria is a concern, the latest antimalarial treatments have fewer annoying side effects like nightmares, nausea, sun sensitivity and headache, says Dr. Carol Singer, chief of the infectious diseases division and director of the travel immunization center at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park...
