With few bastions of actual music television left, Mistress Juliya Chernetsky still carries the flag—and ink—for rock programming on the tube with Fuse’s Top 20 Countdown. And she’s pretty cute to boot.
Circa Survive's music is not intended for the radio. Their idea is that if they build an artful sound, the fans will come. “Ultimately we would rather have a small number of fans who are devoted enough to the message of creative freedom and who understand what we’re trying to do and support us than try to put a net out to the masses and see how many dollars we can pull in.” — Anthony Green, frontman

It took nearly four years to develop the latest Final Fantasy game, and to answer fanboys everywhere: Yes, it’s worth the wait. This time, the role-playing juggernaut introduces a fresh set of spiky-haired, androgynous protagonists in whose hands the fate of the world balances. To get the job done, players must skillfully employ the improved Active Time Battle system, which now allows you to chain together attacks for a combo bonus. Balancing tactics with the new Role and Paradigm systems, players can fine-tune their party to unleash deadly barrages on enemies and alter strategies on the fly. You’ll come for the fantastic creature summoning sequences, marvel at the unparalleled cinematic presentation, stay to unlock new abilities, and remember the flat-ironed hair and leather jackets.

Long gone are the sex shops and beatniks of London's Soho neighborhood. Over the years, the notorious district has undergone a serious image overhaul, and between the office buildings and trendy restaurants sits Frith Street Tattoo and Piercing, the tattoo shop of owner Dante Di Massa's dreams. "When I was a kid, all I wanted to do was hang out in a really cool tattoo shop all day," Di Massa says with the noise from his busy shop in the background. "And that's what I do now." Even though he's covered in tattoos and owns a shop, the 40-year-old Di Massa has never felt the urge to pick up a needle himself. "I'm not an artist," he explains. "I could go out there and be just another scratcher, but that's ...

GREATEST HITS [RCA RECORDS]
Which is wilder to consider: that it’s been 18 years since Nirvana released Nevermind or that Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters have released six albums since? While Nirvana was dragged kicking and screaming into playing arenas, Grohl built the Foos and their sound to fill them. Among the 16 tracks assembled on their first greatest hits collection are obvious tracks such as “Monkeywrench,” “Best of You,” and “My Hero,” all well-worn staples of any rock bar. Later, and slightly less obviously, tracks such as “Long Road to Ruin” and “Times Like These” also show up. Of course, no hits collection is complete without a few unreleased tracks designed to draw you in, so Grohl includes the light Tom Petty twang of “Wheels” and the raging, if slightly flat, “Word Forward.”
