• Hitsville: The Year in Music, by the Numbers

  By Randall Roberts You don't need a half-wit music critic to tell you it's been a remarkable year for America, one historians will be discussing and researching for centuries to come.

• Simon & Garfunkel Plan Long Awaited Reunion Tour

  Mending that bridge over troubled waters never felt so goodIt makes sense these days for some older acts to get out on tour and start playing some shows. Just looking at this past weekend in the Valley, we saw Springsteen, Lou Reed and Leonard Cohen all unravel some shows well in the twilight of their respective careers. Paul Frederic Simon and Ira Arthur Garfunkel, better known as Simon & Garfunkel, have just announced they will give their fans a much needed reunion tour, kicking off June 1

See more shots in our Flight of the Conchords slide show.Though music and comedy may seem suitable bedfellows, the marriage of the two is often a mangled mess of bad puns and crappy guitar playing.
