Adventures of a No Name Actor
Marco Perella
Raincoast Book

Marco Perella is one of those nameless actors you've no doubt seen in a countless number of movies and TV series but could never put a name to the face. Acting has got to be one of the toughest professions going and Perella lays it all out in this humorous and revealing look at life "on the boards."

Hear it!

crazy/beautiful

Hollywood Records

Best tracks off this summer hit are easily Fastball's riveting "This Is Not My Life," The Dandy Warhols with "Sleep," Lily Frost with the excellent "Who Am I" and the coquettish Bjork-like Emilianna Torrini with the street sulk smarts of "To Be Free."



Baby Boy

Universal Records
Director John Singleton, who picked all the music for this hot summer flick, has a winner in this soundtrack as well. Introing with "Summer Madness" by Kool and The Gang and into "Just A Baby Boy" by Snoop Dogg, Tyrese and Mr. Tan, the West Coast ride is all over this baby. Other key cuts include "Crip Hop" by the Eastsidaz, also featuring Snoop, and "I'd Rather Be With You" by Bootsy Collins.

The Fast and the Furious

Def Jam/Universal

Ja Rule sure gets his props on this soundtrack, leading off with Faith Evans and Caddillac Tah in the "Good Life Remix,"
followed up by four more contributions. With other highlights such as "Suicide" by Scarface and "Hustlin" by Fat Joe, you get a good idea of wassup with this.
