...1920s who gave birth on the factory floor and kept working for fear of losing their job. Another called her choice "scandalous" since employers could use it to "put intolerable pressure on women" to take less time off. What a pernicious example at a moment when workers are already anxious about their security...
...should be. The album’s best tracks showcase Franz Ferdinand doing what they do best: beat-driven, catchy, darkly sly dance tunes. Lyrics from Ulysses (“So sinister, so sinister last night was wild / What’s a matter there, feeling kinda anxious?”) are a bit unnerving, demonstrating, as always, the darkness that can come with having a good time.

...inauguration gave some Americans a reason to revel for a couple of days, but overall, ours remains a sullen nation. If you haven't been laid off, you're probably working harder, maybe for less money--and almost certainly with less job security. People are anxious, depressed--and pissed. Which raises a question: Is there any way to use these emotions to help us pull through this mess...
