Review/Rock; Getting Some Pop In the Gum
Jesus Jones adds the latest trappings to the basic three-minute pop song. On Friday night at the Academy, where their music was bolstered by canned instruments and backup vocals, band members jumped around as if the stage was red-hot; Mike Edwards, the bands singer and songwriter, kept teasing the crowd into screaming louder, while Iain Baker spent as much time pushing his keyboard around as he did playing it. With skillful music and marketing, Jesus Jones has found a place somewhere between hip, obscure collegiate rock and MTV-ready pop-rock. In the music, hip-hop drumbeats, fat-bottomed bass lines, noisy, echoey guitars and earnest but deniable vocals are new options for pop-song structures that go back at least to the 1960s British Invasion. Mr. Edwardss melodies often leap upward, making his voice sound both hopeful and slightly vulnerable. The most earnest of Jesus Joness songs, Right Here, Right Now, about watching the world wake up from history in 1990, recently became a No. 1 single.

Neil Young Proves Himself to Himself
Neil Young stands behind a shoulder-high mountain, holding the remote control for an electric train thats looping through a landscape of canyon and river, tunnels and bridges. Hes not in his basement; hes in a tent at the Horde (for Horizons of Rock Developing Everywhere) Festival tour, which he is headlining this summer. Headliners get an indulgence or two, and this is Mr. Youngs: a Lionel setup no 1950s child ever had. Its not just that the boxcars are painted with the tie-dyed Horde logo and miniature covers of albums by Mr. Young and other musicians on the tour, which is to play the Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, N.Y., tomorrow. In 1991 Mr. Young brought some ideas to Lionel on how to soup up model railroading; four years later, he became a part owner of the company. The remote control was one of his inventions, part of a system that allows multiple trains to be controlled separately on the same track. Another was a digital chip holding train sounds recorded in 32-track fidelity. It is a typical Neil Young project: an old-fashioned machine with high-tech support..

On the Stage Or in the Tent, Sound in Spin
Turntables were at the core of Area: One, the seven-hour event that sold out the Jones Beach Theater on Sunday, its first of two nights there. Moby, the headliner, borrowed an idea from European rock festivals, where live bands often perform on one stage while disc jockeys pump out dance beats in a nearby tent. Area: One put five bands on the amphitheater stage and five electronica acts in a tent where the dancing crowd soon overwhelmed the air-conditioning. The bands -- Moby, Outkast, Incubus, the Roots and Nelly Furtado -- were intentionally disparate, rejecting the niche marketing that sends out package tours solely of hip-hop or hard rock or pop. Yet they had one thing in common: each included a disc jockey scratching vinyl as part of the rhythm section. And each bands set had what might be called a turntable aesthetic, with songs that jump-cut between delicacy and crunch, singing and rapping, folkiness and funk. Their music was the legacy of postmodernism, ready to juxtapose whatever sounded promising, whether it was spirituals and arena-rock marches (for Moby) or rock guitar riffs, cooing backup vocals and breakneck rapping (for Outkast)..
