...homage to the ’60s-era American pop inspirations that are frequently cited but rarely revived. The band incorporates instrumental nods to their beloved Holly and Lou Reed along with close vocal harmonies that recall the pre-pubescent crooning of the Everly Brothers and the cheerful banter of the Ronettes. The Raveonettes’ unapologetic lifting from bygone musical greats has occasionally made their previous releases seem like vintage tributes. With “Lust, Lust, Lust,” however, Foo and Wagner offer an update on the work of their late heroes. To a greater degree...
...Merritt lamenting the past and regretting the future, all to cathartic piano lines that belong at the end of some charmingly schmaltzy John Hughes film. The churning, guitar-warped exchange between Simms and Merritt that composes “Please Stop Dancing,” the desperately gleeful bender-banter on “Too Drunk to Dream,” and the hopelessly defiant crescendo of “I’ll Dream Alone” project a moving triptych of the death of the relationship, and, taken individually, make for some of the album?...

After the Giants took the lead for the first...
...former Australian captain called the practice "mental disintegration" and argued that it should be seen as an important part of the game. The Indian team - and players from other subcontinental teams such as Pakistan - complain that it's a bit rich for Australia to start moaning about on-field banter now. Indeed, India has lodged a counter complaint against an Australian bowler who they say called the Indians "bastards," a term Australians use to describe everyone from their worst enemy to their best friend, but which the Indian team manager told reporters "has a lot of bad meanings back...
...scenery—from a gory hospital visit to a whimsical trip to India—with novel approaches to dream sequences, where the shots begin upside-down. Tim Roth offers an impressive portrayal of Dominic as he appears at 70 and at 35. Roth salvages the boring intellectual banter between Dominic’s doubles as best he can, though the scenes drag. However, Coppola’s efforts ultimately go astray. By attempting to cover so many disparate topics in one film, the end result feels jumbled and jumpy. Crucial elements of the film fail to develop, leaving...
