When's the last time you spent any quality time with a bevy of funky divas? (No Jimmy, Spiceworld doesn't count.) Take a turn with Destiny's Child, four chicas from Houston who have the kind of talent to attract guests like Wyclef Jean and Pras from the Fugees.

OK, so we're all in agreement that South Park is the best thing on TV, yes? Then what does that make Reel Big Fish, the house band for BASEketball -- the upcoming film that stars SP creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker? (Um, for the record, we think it makes them purty darned swank.)

So you've been hearing about this whole electronica thing in all the magazines, but you don't know where to start. How about with Roni Size & Reprazent, winners of the Brit's Mercury Prize? (Think of it as a Grammy with taste.) New Forms has been widely acclaimed as the best drum & bass album to hit the stores yet -- and yes, Virginia, that does mean a whole heckuva lot.

So you love all those old REM albums, but you have no idea what Michael Stipe was singing? (Don't worry, he doesn't know, either.) Take a chance on Jolene -- the only band cool enough to cover Vic Chesnutt, appear on a Big Star tribute record, and open up for Hootie & the Blowfish. Just think about what it takes to pull off that trifecta.
