		<description><![CDATA[Apropos nothing, is &#8216;Alternative Rock&#8217; far too watered down and worn out to be an effective way of describing any particular music style? I mean, if you&#8217;re talking about something like &#8216;Speed Metal,&#8217; images of long hair, tight costumes, and lengthy guitar solos brimming with unearthly arpeggio and glissando fill your head.
Maybe it&#8217;s just that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many people know Men Without Hats for their very popular hit single, Safety Dance. And, unfortunately, like so many great 80&#8242;s synth-rock groups, it&#8217;s pretty much overshadowed their whole career. They&#8217;ve released a total of 8 albums all together, (the latest and final being No Hats Beyond this Point, released in 2003) and all of [...]]]></description>

First off, as in most good Decemberist songs, there&#8217;s a story to be told:

A little bit of ska right up front in the beginning with that snare, some bass guitar, some spacey effect synth, and then the real song at 0:11. &#8220;Whoaaa&#8221;, ha ha. Right away you know how the groove goes &#8211; the fairly simple rock percussion, the bass and lead guitars, and the the shouty-yet-in-tune vocals. [...]]]></description>
