I want to patch my soul on your brain Despite the ominous weather, slight drizzle and wet seats, devoted AIR fans clogged the serpentine Vermont Avenue up into Griffith Park for a show that gained the band an all around standing ovation, which in turn rewarded the audience with the usual encore. In general, the French band only played the most popular songs, leaving the edgier tunes and more experimental solos to their albums......

Over the years the pool of the Hard Rock hotel in Las Vegas has established itself for being one of the funnest places to meet some of the hottest ladies in town. Next month not only will there be babes lounging, there will also be hotties on stage rocking. To celebrate their 14th(!) anniversary (didn't they just turn 21?), the Donnas will give a concert poolside of the Hard Rock, Friday May 11th. Tickets......

A lesson to all you would-be supergroups, yearning to use national tv to help you find your new singer and sell out concerts before you even really have a band: be original, and if you can't do that, have an original name for your manufactured band. Yesterday a San Diego judge ruled that the original Supernova, the Orange County punk band whose single "Chewbacca" has appeared on the "Clerks" soundtrack, was in the right......
