The Hotlist

THE HOT AND NOT LIST as of January 28th 1999

• Hole: "Celebrity Skin". By far their best album so far. Courtney Love shows her real talent.
• Many great new albums on the way this spring. Here's a list of what to expect the next 4-5 months (all dates are approx. since release dates often change without notice). I have marked the ones I find most interesting with a guitar:

• Danish "band" Cartoons. I hope this is NOT a sign of where popular music is headed. The fact that they sell so many records and have been named top priority in Europe by their record company is scary.
• So many former hits are being dug up again by R&B and dance artists and turned into hits. That almost seems too easy...
