This total aesthetic combined with a youthful, sunny, and unde- niably California demeanor describes the band's musical approach. Greenwald's penchant for cartwheeling, extended wails, along with his sometimes fragile and mumbled delivery, places him nicely as the U.S. heir of Thom Yorke's dramatic croon. Phantom Planet's latest release The Guest -released Feb. 26 via Daylight /Epic and produced by Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake - is an all- inclusive range of instru- mentation, from piano to mandolin to electronic beats, rounding out the earnest batch of tracks. For a band that's trudged through relative obscurity and label shuffling since its formation seven years ago, the guys in Phantom Planet have reason to be excited. When discussing the band's past, Greenwald reminisces about the lengths he once employed to promote Phantom Planet's music. "On our first tour, which was with American Hi -Fi, we had an EP out (titled Phantom Planet Live via Day - light/Epic), and we really wanted to show the label we had some selling { AND OTHER THOUGHTS YOU'LL HAVE TIME TO PONDER HILE AT OUR HOTEL.} power," he says.

decided to record old songs. My [young] fans think they're new, and the dads who wouldn't let them buy the CD before are now listening to it themselves." Rivera made his Sony debut with Despreciado, which included the track of the same name, originally popularized by Javier Solis. Rivera recorded the entire disc in banda format, instead of his previous norteño style. The strategy worked, and "Des - preciado" hit Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks chart, while Despreci- ado, the album, has remained on the Billboard Latin Albums chart since its release, even though Rivera has released three other albums.

FOR VARIETY'S SAKE "In l.upillo , case, I think people will be bothered if we don't come out with a new album," says Llord. "I think he has such a loyal fan base, people are looking for a new studio album every couple of months. I know this goes against all the philosophies of the record business, but there's no reason why Lupillo can't be an exception. And, so far, he's been the exception." So much so that, at the end of April, Rivera is slated to release a corrido album with his brother Juan, Los Heintanos Mas Buscados. In October, he's slated to record tet another disc, this time accompanied by mariachi. "I'm doing it for variety's sake. and to prove to those who criti- cize me that I can record with mariachi," says Rivera, talking on the phone in between gigs (he usually pla}s three shows per weekend). "It's different; it's a little more difficult. It's more traditional. You have to be more care- ful with it." Llord says Sony is exploring the possibility of a special project with the songs of Javier Solis- one of Rivera's idols -in which Rivera records duets with Solis using Solis' old recordings. As for Rivera, he's looking way ahead. Beginning in August, his shows will feature a banda sinaloense, his norteño band and a mariachi, and, beyond that, he's even planning a family concert with his siblings in 2003. "What I want is to really win over all the small towns and then The AmericanAirlines Arena, home of the NBA's Miami HEAT and WNBA's Miami O. have a family tour in all the big places," he says.
