...typical Beck style, the collaboration cuts across a variety of different musical styles - blues, electronica, rock and folk. And Gainsbourg proves she's more than just his muse. Although her vocals sometimes sound like mere whispers, she conveys intense emotion throughout the album. On "Le Chat du Café des Artistes," - the only song sung entirely in French - her dark intonations complement the song's haunting strings. On "Voyage," she channels Enya at a drum circle - and somehow manages to give the song a spiritual quality. (See pictures of Paris expanding...

The conservative protesters unfurled their banners and hoisted placards that read "Give Harry the boot" (with a real boot as a prop; and that would be Harry Mitchell, the local Democratic Congressman) and "Stop the Corrupt...
Staver says he's not worried about traditional marriage. "I don't think this has mainstreamed this matter," says Staver, who is now the law dean at Liberty University. "Two attorneys and a few people testifying in court will not sway millions of minds on this issue." Across America, gay couples eager to join the 18,000 who married before California changed its laws are certainly hoping he's wrong...
