1. Tsunami -- Tsunamis
   Tsunami is an ideal spot to host group parties for up to 25 guests in its lounge area. Tsunami is a very busy restaurant and as you sometimes wait for your table there, Bar 821 "a wine & sake bar" opened next door simply to have Tsunami's guests linger & wait for tables while still having great fun.
2. Cypress Hill
   The most surprising aspect of Cypress Hill is its striking uniqueness, when lyrically, it appears as if B-Real and Sen Dog spew the usual gangster rhetoric that went stale not long after the album's release. But that's just skimming the surface.
3. Andy Parsons
   One of the country's foremost topical comedians, Andy Parsons is familiar to the nation's TV viewers as a lynchpin of BBC2's light-hearted quiz show Mock The Week in which he gives the weekly news a sharp ribbing. Surprisingly for someone who has been performing stand-up comedy for years, he's only now going out on the road with a full solo show, appearing at The Glee Club (Oct 9, 2007) as part of the BRMB Birmingham Comedy Festival.
4. Styx
   The 1972 self-titled album from Chicago-based quintet Styx could be considered an ambitious outing for any band's debut. Clearly influenced by the primarily U.K-centered progressive rock scene, Dennis DeYoung (keyboard/vocals) hooked up with twin siblings Chuck Panozzo (bass/vocals) and John Panozzo (drums/percussion/vocals) in a combo named the Tradewinds during the late 1960s. The first lineup of Styx began to emerge once John Curulewski (guitar/synthesizer/vocals) and James "J.Y." Young (guitar/vocals ) joined up, initially surfacing under the moniker TW4. Local gigs in and around the Windy City led them to the attention of Bill Traut, a Chicago musician/producer whose regional record label Wooden Nickel was distributed throughout North America by RCA. Traut was actively seeking new talent and TW4 was just what he was looking for to compete with the likes of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Yes and Rush.

6. Eric Schmidt
   For Eric Schmidt, Google’s CEO, 2004 was a very good year. His firm led the search industry, the fastest-growing major sector in technology; it went public, raising $1.67 billion; its stock price soared; and its revenues more than doubled, to $3 billion. But as the search market ripens into something worthy of Microsoft’s attention, those familiar with the software business have been wondering whether Google, apparently triumphant, is in fact headed off the cliff.

7. Ballista
   Ballista boxes are a new invention that have begun appearing through-out the spheres as the weapon of choice for attacking groundling settlements. No one knows who exactly invented these weapons, although many races have taken credit for them. These are war machines that fire a dozen, four foot long missles. The missles are similar to spears, although some users have developed miniature versions of the projectiles that ballistas fire(the ones with the barbed heads). The boxes have cylindrical tubes on the front facing of the weapon, and tightly coiled springs in the base of the box that shoot out the projectiles with devastating force. The rear of the box can be opened to re-coil the springs through the use of hand cranks.
8. Guster
   While Guster is known for its mellow tunes, the rock-driven tracks “One Man Wrecking Machine” and “Beginning of the End” make an appearance on Ganging Up on the Sun. Acoustic guitar makes its triumphant return on the upbeat, alt-country-sounding track “The Captain,” with a dueling banjo and sliding electric guitar. The seven minute track “Ruby Falls” soars with inspiring lyrics and trembling electric guitars. The extended track ends with a surprising trumpet solo and sighing harmonies. It is by far one of the most inventive pieces of music Guster has ever created throughout their career.
9. The Blueprint
   The Blueprint is the 6th solo album released by rapper Jay-Z. The album's release date was pushed up from September 18, 2001 to September 11, 2001, in order to combat widespread bootlegging. Unfortunately, the album's new release date landed on the day of the infamous terrorist attacks in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania and Jay-Z's native New York City. Despite being overshadowed by the attacks, the album sold over 426,000 copies in its opening week becoming his fourth consecutive album to hit #1 on the Billboard 200. It would eventually be certified 2x Platinum as sales currently stand at more than 2.3 million copies in the US. Jay-Z would later dare to boast about the record's success on the track "The Bounce" from his following album The Blueprint 2: The Gift & the Curse;
