Cablevision is demanding a substantial increase on its per-subscriber fee for their two channels - FOX Sportsnet and MSG Network � and TWC is balking. Cablevision attempted to strong-arm TWC last summer, but they failed � largely because the 2004 Mets were an afterthought in the minds of New York's what-have-you-done-for-me-lately sports fans. This year, however, Pedro Martinez and Carlos Beltran have Mets fans fantasizing about October glory, so the conflict is generating much more publicity.

Not since the Vandersteen 2 has a loudspeaker come on to the audio scene with such assuredness of success. Not since the Vandy has a speaker so outpaced the competition in terms of quality and value at its price point as has this Gallo loudspeaker." Martin DeWolf - Bound For Sound "... This speaker combines so much unconventional thinking, novel applications and build quality in such a balanced, physically compact but sonically gargantuan and full-range design, and for such an exceedingly fair price that some drastic measure of formal recognition was required to truly separate it out from the crowds that make up the $3,000 - $10,000 floorstanding speaker field."

Gene Simmons� solo CDs do not just present the KISS man sans the makeup, but with this poorly titled ***HOLE disc in particular (the asterisks stand in for the �A� word used to describe one�s posterior, by the way), we also get a glimpse of the rock star�s rarely revealed soft white underbelly. This uncommon view of Simmons is best exemplified by �Waiting for the Morning Light,� which the performer co-wrote with Bob Dylan, of all people! It finds Simmons singing in a scratchy Don Henley-like voice. Instead of layered, raging guitars, Simmons croons it over piano to the beat of a lazy rhythm.
