The 2000s gave birth to new technologies and musical innovations -- but they also brought the deaths of some of our brightest and most influential stars. As you look forward to the next decade, look back at some of the great voices that were silenced over the last 10 years.

Earlier this month, Eddie Vedder, Melissa Etheridge, John Mellencamp, Ben Harper and Sting brought the songs of Bruce Springsteen to an unlikely venue: Washington, DC’s opulent Kennedy Center. The full Kennedy Center Honors aired on CBS last night, giving fans the opportunity to see the New Jersey legend sitting beside President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as a cavalcade of artists professed their admiration for his life and music. Caroline Kennedy described Springsteen as “a rocker from the Jersey shore who created his own musical universe and across America and the world became ‘The Boss,’ ” at the top of the show. (Read our on-the-scene report from the Kennedy Center Honors, which also paid tribute to Robert DeNiro, Dave Brubeck, Mel Brooks and Grace Bumbry.)

Though the British Invasion boasted a plethora of bands that literally exploded overnight and disappeared the next day, a handful actually endured with incredible influence and longevity. Of course there were The Beatles, but others from that same era like The Kinks, The Animals and The Zombies were also major players in shaping the sounds of the 1960s, in turn, rubbing off on the Brit-pop movement from the ‘90s through today. In fact, that latter act is still alive and thriving as documented on its new DVD The Zombies: Odessey & Oracle (Revisited): The 40th Anniversary Concert (MVD Visual).

Even after ten years together sold during its initial incarnation and over 35 million albums sold, Creed never released a concert DVD until its reunion tour in 2009. Creed Live follows the foursome getting back together with all previous tensions transferred into a pummeling hard rock road show. Filmed in Houston in front of over 18,000 attendees, the disc defies convention with an astounding high definition shoot directed by the venerable Daniel E. Catullo III (Rush, Smashing Pumpkins, Nickelback).

Inspired by comic strip turned television show and movie of the same name, “The Addams Family” musical follows the delightfully dark troupe of housemates through its latest adventure of confusion, chaos and comedy. Led by an all-star cast of Nathan Lane (Gomez) and Bebe Neuwirth (Morticia), the updated tale begins with an introduction of each slightly deranged but instantly likeable character and the New York castle in which they dwell, complete with a pet squid and a basement chamber full of oddities.

There are so many good things about Up in the Air, the latest Jason Reitman movie starring George Clooney, and most of them have discussed elsewhere (see Jeff Niesel's review). One aspect of the movie not be overlooked, though, is the music. Like in his previous movie, Juno, Reitman makes optimal use of his soundtrack.

Recorded last year, the Raconteurs’ Live in London has just come out on vinyl as part of an exclusive release to Third Man Records fan club members who enrolled at the label's website. After an atmospheric intro, it commences with “Consoler of the Lonely,” which sounds a bit rawer than its studio version. The same goes for the subsequent “The Switch and the Spur,” which concludes with an epic, classic rock-like jam. After a bit of banter, the guys turn down the volume a bit with the piano-driven “You Don’t Understand Me,” a tune that finds singer-guitarists Jack White and Brendan Benson exchanging verses until the tune segues nicely into “Top Yourself.” “Hold Up” also benefits from its live rendition and is followed by the bluesy Charley Jordon cover “Keep it Clean,” a tune that really allows White to show off his guitar chops.

Andrew McMahon is the singer of broken up (and recently reunited) pop/punk group Something Corporate and alternative pop group Jack's Mannequin. Something Corporate hit it big in the underground scene in the early 2000s, releasing two full-length LPs and two EPs on its label Drive-Thru Records. In 2004, McMahon announced his new side project Jack's Mannequin. However, during the recording, mixing and producing of the project, McMahon was diagnosed with leukemia. This is where the documentary Dear Jack picks up.

George Timothy Clooney has had quite a year. First, the guy starred as a contractor with a shady past in the Catch-22-like The Men Who Stare at Goats, a hilarious satire of experimental military projects. Then, he lent his vocal talents to Wes Anderson’s stop-motion animation film, Fantastic Mr. Fox, a kids’ movie with plenty of appeal for adults. Now, he’s starring opposite Vera Farmiga in Juno director Jason Reitman’s new movie Up in the Air.

Looking more like the dignified Anita Baker on the cover than the “queen of hip-hop soul” (a title she’s maintained across nine studio CDs), Mary J Blige is all grown up these days. As the title Stronger With Each Tear (Geffen) suggests, the soulful singer is fully embracing her “No More Drama” adage and comfortably settling into a continuously healing skin. As for the disc’s musical make-up, expect appearances from Ne-Yo, T.I., Rodney Jenkins, Drake and Tricky Stewart, along with the moving track “Color” taken from the powerful new movie Precious.

While art rockers Pylon never really became a household name, the band did have an influence on the post-punk movement, inspiring groups like R.E.M., which infamously covered its tune “Crazy.” Now, the band has just reissued its sophomore effort, 1982’s Chomp, a terrific album that lurches with all the madcap energy of early Gang of Four. Speaking one afternoon after she “vacuumed the house, emptied the dishwasher and read the paper,” Pylon singer Vanessa Hay talked about the reissue as she prepared to take her daughter to downtown Athens to see the Christmas parade. “Athens has really grown,” she says. “A lot of people who went out of state to college have been staying in state and the town’s bigger, and there’s more to do downtown than when I was in school.”

When “In the Heights” burst onto Broadway in 2008, it scored an impressive 13 Tony Award nominations and took home the trophy for “Best Musical,” plus a Grammy Award for “Best Musical Show Album.” Given the strong response from the public and the music/theatre industries alike, the show hit the road with a current stop at Chicago’s Cadillac Palace Theatre, remaining a steady touring attraction thanks to a variety-filled soundtrack and coming of age story. The tale kicks off in New York City’s Washington Heights, a Dominican-American neighborhood that has a touch of graffiti, but a generally communal feel thanks to an inviting deli where a colorful cast of characters often find relief from a day’s trials.

Avatar’s storyline has plenty of issues. The theme of the brutal colonization of an indigenous people is nothing new, and the love story at its core is pretty damn hokey. But James Cameron’s film sure does look sharp. Set in the year 2154, the story revolves around Jake Sully (Terminator Salvation’s Sam Worthington), a U.S. Marine who has been paralyzed from the waist down. The guy is sent off to take his dead twin brother’s place and inhabit an avatar built in the likeness of the Na’vi, the blue-skinned people who inhabit a planet called Pandora.

They aren't making a cologne together, unfortunately When I interviewed Devendra Banhart in September, he talked about his plans to lead an "all-harmonium orchestra called Droney Mitchell" and wanting to "do a record with Adam Green of all German schlager songs." He seems like a guy who is always thinking of ridiculous band names and concepts to talk about in interviews and, as an interviewer, I appreciate that. Of course, whether any of these dream bands actually happen in real life is a mystery.

Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch says that he’s “doing all right” after his battle with salivary gland cancer in a new interview on Gothamist, with the man we call MCA also giving an update on the status of the Beasties’ album The Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1. “We’re just figuring that out right now. But hopefully, it looks like it’ll be coming out early part of next year,” Yauch said. “I don’t know that it’s official yet, but that seems to be the direction we’re moving in.”

Kid Cudi has left the Monster Ball early, vacating his opening-act slot on Lady Gaga’s current tour just five days after punching a fan during a solo performance in Vancouver. According to the official statement posted on Dat New Cudi, the Grammy-nominated rapper took “an early leave of absence from Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour, in order to balance his schedule surrounding the recording of his next album and acting commitments.” Cudi will now embark on his own solo trek, which kicked off last night in Reno, Nevada.

Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante has confirmed that he has “quit” the band, writing in a MySpace blog post, “To put it simply, my musical interests have led me in a different direction.” The Peppers are reportedly working on their follow-up to 2006’s Stadium Arcadium, and rumors began circulating last week that Frusciante had permanently left RHCP and was replaced by guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who along with Frusciante toured with the band in 2007 and also appeared on Frusciante’s 2009 solo album The Empyrean. Frusciante clarifies in his MySpace post that he actually left the band over a year ago when they were on indefinite hiatus.

With a plethora of David Bowie biographies on book shelves (but none written by the man himself), Marc Spitz certainly had his work cut out for him. But like any seasoned reporter (his credits include Spin, New York Times, Maxim, Nylon and Blender), he takes to the task with several interviews of secondary sources and scours the Bowie annals for a handful of new tidbits and an era by era analysis. Of course, the trick to capturing this chameleon’s life in pages will always be keeping up with his many personalities, but the author starts from his shy school boy days through his recent health scare and christening of The Arcade Fire as the next “it” act.

With 12 Grammy Awards to her name, Alicia Keys has more than proven her artistic merit and staying power. Come her fourth studio CD The Element of Freedom (J-Records), she churns out a sonically conscious batch of R&B-infused pop that’s not only amongst her most provocative to date, but also amongst her most infectious. Hits already include “Doesn’t Mean Anything” and “Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart,” which are sure to forecast a prosperous new year for the neo-soul star.

The several reviews so far on the new Bob Dylan Christmas cd, Christmas in the Heart are, for the most part, accurate. Dylan’s craggy, corrosive vocals has work well with his own introspective works (Modern Times, Love and Theft), but the traditional Christmas in the Heart material strains Dylan's abilities. His vocals collide discordantly with the cd's razor-sharp musicianship and the gleefully retro 1940s-era background singers.
More grunting than singing, Dylan butchers such traditionals as “Do You Hear What I Hear,” “Oh Come All Ye Faithful” and the Ella Fitzgerald signature "Christmas Island." Christmas of the Heart is not the most harmonic of holiday music.
But all is not bad on this CD.

Erykah Badu will release her sixth studio album, "New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh," on Feb. 23, 2010 on Universal Motown. The 38-year-old Dallas, Texas, born singer says the set is called "Part II" because unlike 2008's more conscious-driven "New Amerykah Part I: 4th World War," she is "more free and full of life" this time around.

There are times in movies when explicit sex scenes are not only necessary, but also important to the development of the film and its characters. In Death in Love, however, that’s not really the case. The film tells the tale of how a mother’s (Jacqueline Bisset) relationship with a German doctor as a young Jewish girl would forever influence the course of her family’s lives. Uniquely enough, none of the characters have a name, but the movie manages to work just fine without them.

When Jack’s Mannequin’s debut, Everything in Transit, was issued in August 2005, singer-pianist Andrew McMahon had more on his mind than promoting the album. He had just been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and was about to undergo extensive treatment that would include a bone marrow transplant. As a result of the treatment, he had to receive numerous injections and lost all his hair. It was grueling procedure but it paid off and his leukemia went into remission. As a result, McMahon’s emo-pop band has become active again and spent the past year touring with Weezer and the Fray. McMahon’s battle with leukemia is all documented on Dear Jack, a new DVD that he has released. He phoned in last week to talk about both the disc and his future plans for Jack’s Mannequin.
Judging from the DVD, it looks like you started filming as soon as you were diagnosed. Did you plan from the beginning to release the footage to the public or was that decision made later?
Oh, it was definitely made after the fact. That footage is the first of the hospital stuff that I shot but I had been shooting stuff for six months before that moment. When I got the camera, I was like, “Okay, let’s do this.” At that moment, I planned on filming the whole thing as some kind of record. I don’t think there was much intention. It was a cloudy period of time. I’d be lying if I said otherwise.

Relive the awkwardness.

Earlier this week, we reported that a rule change from the U.S. Postal Service threatened Chicago producer Steve Albini's annual charity Christmas gift drive. But the Second City's annual benefit for Albini's Letters to Santa program is going ahead as planned, and it's got some impressive indie rock star-power lined up. The Second City That Never Sleeps show, which goes down December 15-16 at the historic Chicago comedy venue, will also feature performances from folks like Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, the Mountain Goats, and Robbie Fulks. As usual, there will be an auction to win a private show from Tweedy.

If there’s any movie that needs no introduction, “Star Wars” takes the cake thanks to its larger than life special effects, instantly recognizable characters, iconic storyline and enduring legacy that’s literally touched multiple generations of fanatics. And while George Lucas’ masterpiece sextet of films is literally the most famous franchise in motion picture history, much of the magic belongs to composer John Williams. During the aptly title “Star Wars In Concert” tour, both creators’ works were on display, thanks to clips from both the original trilogy and prequels earning big screen treatment, alongside a massive and technically precise symphony.

As much as Morgan Freeman embodies South African President Nelson Mandela in Clint Eastwood’s new film, Invictus, his tendencies to pontificate are a bit much. The guy rarely says anything that’s not deeply profound and moving. Still, Invictus has many inspirational moments. It commences as Mandela is released from prison in 1994 and subsequently elected president. He takes an interest in the mostly white South African rugby team because he thinks their success could unite a country divided by race. The problem is that the team isn’t very good.

The ADD mash-up monster Greg Gillis, known to the world as Girl Talk, made his name with the 2006 album Night Ripper, a marathon of chopped-up pop samples that moved so quickly between songs and genres that we all had to struggle to keep up. On December 8, Illegal Art will issue Night Ripper on vinyl for the first time (180-gram double LPs, that is), so we'll really be able to hear every sonic detail of that Biggie Smalls/Elton John meeting of the minds.

Though Chicago producer Steve Albini has a built up a reputation as something of a grouch over the years, he's no Scrooge. Along with his wife, Heather Whinna, for the past decade, the famed producer and Big Black/Shellac frontman has been distributing more than $100,000 worth of Christmas gifts every year to poor families in the Chicago area.

After releasing its first two records on indie label Epitaph, pop-punk band Motion City Soundtrack signed a multiple-album deal with Columbia in late 2006, months before releasing its final Epitaph effort, 2007's "Even If It Kills Me." With its Columbia debut, "My Dinosaur Life," set for release Jan. 19, the band's team is working to balance its new major-label status with the independent, grass-roots approach that got Motion City Soundtrack its start.

As one of this year’s biggest public relations disasters, Chris Brown’s become a bad boy of R&B known even more for the headlines than his music. But the incredibly famous turned infamous artist is attempting a comeback throughout Graffiti (Jive) with a little help from guest artists like Lil Wayne, Trey Songz, Swizz Beatz and others. Controversy aside, Brown’s no stranger to the charts and will likely land somewhere towards the top, if only for curiosity’s sake.

For us here in the Midwest, seasonal affect disorder—a depressive/anxiety condition caused by a lack of sunlight during winter—is a concern. Exercise, antidepressants, vitamin D all have been prescribed to combat SAD. I suggest an additional supplement: a daily listening to the self-title debut CD by Fool’s Gold.

"On Fire", reportedly from Lil Wayne's forthcoming "rock" album Rebirth, features a whole lot of very, very slurred Auto-Tune rapping. It also features a sample of "She's on Fire", a Giorgio Moroder nugget from the Scarface soundtrack. It's, uh, interesting! Rap Radar has the stream.

In a harrowing post on Weezer’s official Website, band pal Karl Koch details the tour bus accident that injured frontman Rivers Cuomo severely enough to force the cancellation of the band’s remaining December tour dates. Cuomo, who Koch reports remains hospitalized, suffered three cracked ribs, “painful internal damage” and a lower leg injury; band assistant Sarah Kim fractured a lower vertebrae and two ribs; the bus’ other passengers — Cuomo’s wife, two-year-old daughter and her nanny — and driver were not injured.

A bit of a stretch from some of his more well known roles, Christopher Walken does an excellent job in this memorable father-son road trip movie. The story begins as the son of a con artist, Flynn (Alessandro Nivola) sees his life falling apart as a result of the connection he once had with his father Nat (Walken), who comes back to haunt him. After a series of people in his life finesse things he sought to hide come back to haunt him, he’s also greeted with the news of his ailing father’s wishes to undergo experimental medical treatment in New Mexico. The request is initially ignored, until Flynn realizes he has nothing left of his new life and goes home.

If you’re thinking Everybody’s Fine, the new film starring Robert DeNiro as an aging old man who sets off on a road trip to try to reconnect with his kids, is a good family film, you might want to think again. Based on a 1990 Italian film, it retains a European feel, especially in the dream sequences. Frank decides to take his road trip after his children, now adults, all cancel their plans to visit him, claiming they are too busy to come out for the weekend.

Back when they were an active touring unit, Fugazi were one of the most awe-inspiring live bands on the planet. For more than a decade, they toured hard, never charging more than single-digits for tickets, never playing any non-all-ages venues, and putting on a dizzily great show everywhere they went. It's pretty amazing how long they were able to keep that whole enterprise up.

The Arcade Fire, the acclaimed Canadian indie rock band that exploded onto the international scene with 2003's "Funeral," is nearing completion of its as-yet-untitled third album and plans to return to the stage in 2010. The album, which according to Billboard sources is currently on track for a May release, will be Arcade Fire's first set of new material since 2007's "Neon Bible." The band have not performed publicly since Jan. 21, when the group played at the Obama Campaign Staff Ball at the DC Armory following the presidential inauguration.

After a decade-plus hiatus, Julian Lennon is making music again and on his own terms. The singer/songwriter is prepping a new album for spring 2010, and on Dec. 15, his company theRevolution will release a 4-track EP featuring the charity single "Lucy." The song pays tribute to Lennon's childhood friend Lucy Vodden, who also inspired the Beatles classic "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."

The 15 song set is the group's second for Anti- and features numerous collaborations, including New Orleans staples Irma Thomas, Allen Toussaint and the Rebirth Brass Band.

Now that he's been in the music business nearly forty years, Michael McDonald can pull from a massive bag of tricks when he shapes his set lists. On the most obvious fronts, there's his time in the Doobie Brothers through several solo smashes, not to mention some collaborations with Steely Dan, tipping his hat to Motown, and in the case of this particular concert, several Yuletide tunes. Though Halloween hadn't hit when he set up shop at the always up close and engaging "Soundstage," his special in support of the new This Christmas (Razor & Tie) will fit perfectly alongside other holiday programming.

When we recently talked to Strokes leader Julian Casablancas about the future of his band, he sounded apprehensive. "I'm done with the predictions," he said. "We're supposed to get back together in January but don't hold me to that."

We're still not sure what Trent Reznor is planning now that Nine Inch Nails is through, but it looks like he won't need "hundreds" of "guitars, keyboards, amplifiers, drums, staging, anvil cases, cables, rack/outboard gear, guitar effects, and pedal boards."

Damon Albarn was recently named "Multi-Tasker of the Decade" by The Guardian (sorry Jack White), and the British star is apparently trying to top his own busy track record over the next ten years.

The Flaming Lips will ring in 2010 by channeling Pink Floyd for a performance of Dark Side of the Moon during the Embryonic band’s New Years Eve Freakout!! concert at their native Oklahoma City’s Cox Center. According to the gig poster unveiled on the band’s official website, when the clock strikes midnight on 2010, Wayne Coyne and the Lips will launch into Pink Floyd’s legendary 1973 album with the help of the band Stardeath and White Dwarfs.

It may be the first initial in his name, but it’s also the explicitness rating to his latest CD Untitled (Jive). Even with the sex scandals of the past, R. Kelly isn’t afraid to amp up the bedroom language and bump n’ grind grooves, just like he did throughout the 1990s. Of course, it would be lazy to assume the R&B crooner with a kick is recycling the same old beats, and in actuality, this latest venture catches him up to speed with the current class. In other words, Ne-Yo, Maxwell and other like-minded neo-soul men better not get too comfortable.
