Musicians have a reputation for not being athletically inclined, but it’s not necessarily true. Not everyone keeps their slim physique through a diet of booze and pills.
Celebrity Buzz You wouldn’t know by looking at these rockers that they are rich and famous. In fact, if they were sitting on the sidewalk holding out a cup, you would probably pass them right by.
Music Buzz This is essentially just a specialized subset of the Cute and Cuter tumblr.

A collection of portraits from the 70's featuring rock stars and their parental units. Is it just us, or does David Crosby's dad look totally like an intimidating Larry David?
Music Buzz Bloggers and indie bands agree: They don’t love Radiohead’s music. Is this just the usual crowing of the less-talented, or the voice of the silent, Radiohead-hating majority?
Culture Buzz R.E.M front man Michael Stipe is having an art show at the Manhattan Rogan boutique. Stipe created an elaborate window installation involving hundreds of cardboard alarm-clock boxes spilling into the street. The art show also includes “Relics” a series of bronze sculptures of cassette tapes, Polaroid cameras and other technological objects that have recently become obsolete.
Tech Buzz A blog that chronicles the history of amateur bands formed in the “suburban garages, high school music rooms, and college dorms” of America. So your dreams of being the next Steven Tyler didn’t turn out as you’d originally hoped. At least now you can find a whole new adoring public! (And even if they’re laughing at you, attention is attention, right?)
Science Buzz Biologist, Jason Bond discovered a new species of trapdoor spider which he has named Myrmekiaphila neilyoungi in honor of his favorite musician. Young joins the ranks of the late rock ‘n’ roll legend Roy Orbison who has a whirligig beetleOrectochilus orbisonorum named to honor him. I’m not sure if this makes spiders lovable or even creepier.
