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.
