Calicove, originally out of the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas, have a unique style that they call Rap n Roll, in which the the styles of rap and rock are mixed together. They are a unique group that should be well known very shortly.

Already, many club-goers in the Bay Area and Los Angeles counties from which they hail know of them. They perform at various clubs in the Bay Area to try and get themselves known and exposed.

It seems to be working, as people who have heard them like their music and performance style.

Nu-metal band Linkin Park debuted A Thousand Suns, their new album, this September. Diehard fans had high expectations for this comeback album, but their hopes for a crazed album fell short. Despite the hype generated by The Catalyst LP's live release at the 2010 VMA’s, this CD isn’t as good as their previous three.

The new album has fifteen tracks, five of which are intros and preludes. Some intros were unnecessary, like "Jornada Del Muerto". The intros seemed to simply be thrown in, weren’t cohesive and failed to give beautiful transitions to the next song. Although many tracks didn’t flow with their intros, the band did an outstanding job introducing the song "Iridescent" with the intro track "Wisdom, Justice, and Love".

LOS ANGELES — The beleaguered record industry couldn't have been happier about the return to the spotlight in 2010 of rapper Eminem, the biggest-selling artist of the new millennium, and heaped upon him a field-leading 10 Grammy Award nominations for his album "Recovery," including nods in all three top categories of album, record and song of the year.

Although it was widely expected that Eminem would do well in this year's Grammy competition, Hawaiian-born producer-singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist Bruno Mars caught many by surprise as runner-up to Eminem with seven nominations, announced Wednesday in conjunction with a televised Grammy nomination concert from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
