Playing music mostly from their last two albums, Lapsed and Set and Setting, Bardo Pond played a set that steadily increased in energy. Opening with "Tommy Gun Angel" and featuring "Walking Stick Man" and "Datura," they finally broke out the rock with a fine version of "Again." Unfortunately, the end of that song, occurred at 12:30a.m., closing time at the Middle East. So it was sad that at the pinnacle of energy for the show, it all came to a stop--a big disappointment for both an energetic band and the audience that came to see them...
Every good Bible story needs a heavenly visitation. Bethany (Fiorentino) gets hers from the angel Metatron (Alan Rickman), who tells her she is Jesus' distant descendant and it is her destiny to save the world. Two fallen angels, Loki (Matt Damon) and Bartleby (Affleck), have found a doctrinal loophole that will allow them to return to Heaven by walking through a parish door in New Jersey. "It will undo the world," Bethany is told--unless she can stop the renegades from defying...
Carey is a musical earth angel. Claimed by two worlds--pure pop and urban soul--she chose, a few albums ago, to integrate hip-hop into her sound. Her mostly entertaining new CD features cameos from a host of rappers, including Snoop Dogg and the gruff-voiced Mystikal.

Carey longs for the hard black soul of the street, but she hovers a bit above it, heat shimmering...
...dash of fantasy, we asked Caleb Carr to write a novella that will be serialized in all five issues. Caleb's best-selling novels (The Alienist, Angel of Darkness) are set a century ago, so it's a nice twist to have him write a mystery thriller set in 2024. We can't wait to see how it ends, especially since, in the spirit of 19th century novelists who, like Charles Dickens, wrote and published books in installments, Caleb is still writing Part 2. Who says editors don't like to live dangerously...
...McClelland's overall vision was a play within a play, with Faustus as the central recipient of a conspiracy unknown to him. The intrigue not only involves deception but also more subtle gestures that aim at including the audience. I had the honor of sitting next to the bad angel (Austin Guest '03) who ingeniously concealed his presence so that he was embodied only in the spotlight he directed at Faustus. This, combined with the cover art of the program, was just another piece of a conceptually consistent production, even if it seemed a bit cryptic at the time...
