Hype Monitor: Amazing Baby (With “Bayonets” Download), France Has the Bomb and P.O.S.

The Band: Amazing Baby The Buzz: Witness the reinvention of glam rock: sighed vocals, sizzling riffs and sky-high choruses, all delivered with the perfect amount of prissiness. Listen If: You’ve seen Velvet Goldmine more than twice, or always wished Marc Bolan sang for Roxy Music. Key Track: “Bayonets,” where disco strings get tangled up in rock guitars to sublime results. Download it for free right here: • “Bayonets” [right click and select “save as”] The Band: France Has the Bomb The Buzz: The new sound of Minneapolis! Rocketing tempos, right-angle guitars and ragged-throated vocals. Listen If: What matters to you is the melody, not the fidelity. Key Track: “Grim Trigger,” which strolls along on a dapper bassline and contains all the fine pout of early ’90s emo — the good kind. The Artist: P.O.S. The Buzz: The other new sound of Minneapolis! Speed-of-light rhyming runs wild over fantastically dusky production, pulling the classic sound of hip-hop forcefully into the future. Listen If: Your biggest problem with Das EFX and Bone Thugs N Harmony is that they don’t rhyme fast enough. Key Track: Explosive first single “Drumroll,” where P.O.S. narrates the apocalypse over a beat that sounds like 400 horses having seizures.

Justin Timberlake and Linkin Park Lead American Music Award Noms, N.W.A Plan “Compton” Reissue, Counting Crows LP Delayed

Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé and Linkin Park grabbed three nods apiece for this year’s American Music Awards, to be held November 18th at the Nokia Theatre in L.A. JT and LP will compete against Daughtry for the show’s coveted plastic trophy in the Favorite Pop/Rock album category. Jimmy Kimmel will serve as host as for the fourth consecutive year, while Daughtry, Fergie and Rihanna are scheduled to perform. Moby has finished work on his new album, Late Night. The record, which is “more electronic and dance-oriented” than 2005’s Hotel, is scheduled to be released sometime in spring 2008. N.W.A’s genre-forming Straight Outta Compton will be reissued as an expanded album December 4th to mark its almost-twentieth anniversary. Bonus tracks include Snoop Dogg and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony covering tracks from the record. Counting Crows’ new album Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings, which we recently Fall Previewed, has been pushed back from November to January. Details concerning animal-cruelty allegations against rapper DMX have been released. The specifics are too graphic for us to even type. DMX still doesn’t face any exact charges, but if the reports are correct, we predict he and Michael Vick might be sharing a jail cell in the near future.

Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter: The Six-Pack Q&A

We’ll resist the temptation to use the “Backstreet’s Back” headline that’s popping up all over in response to the news that the Backstreet Boys‘ album Unbreakable debuted at number seven on the charts today. In honor of the new release, we posed six questions to former Paris Hilton guy-pal, reality-TV star and Dolphin ambassador Nick Carter. He admitted to some mild hotel-room destruction and revealed he’s a Smashing Pumpkins fan. What’s the most rock-star thing you’ve ever done? “I remember I was having this party in my hotel room and it required me to have candles laying all over the place. And I had them all in a circle in this room and I didn’t realize, ‘Oh that’s right, these candles bleed.’ So they bled into the carpet and then they bled into the TV and I caused like $5,000 damage in this one hotel and they still won’t let me go there to this day.” What was your favorite album when you were fourteen? “I used to love E 1999 Eternal by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.” Do you regret doing your reality show, House of Carters? “No, because it helped me realize that I had some problems and I needed to fix them — personally, mentally and physically.” What’s on your current playlist? “I listen to a mixture of stuff. I’ve got the new Smashing Pumpkins album which I’m in love with. I think it’s the most amazing thing. Also, Lloyd. I also like our album [laughs].” When do you think you’ll know it’s time to retire? “I think that’s a personal opinion. As long as you’re having fun and still doing stuff, it doesn’t matter what other people think.” Who’s the coolest person you’ve ever met? “I just don’t ever look at people that way. With everybody that I’ve met, there’s always been something I’ve learned about them that I like. You just need to look at everybody and realize that everybody has some good in them. I never really am in awe of people because we are just equal at the end of the day.”
