...forgotten. Her insistence that 3 million supporters thronged the streets of Karachi to greet her return from exile strains credibility, especially as most journalists and observers have put that number, by the most generous estimates, at 300,000. Most egregious however, are her overwrought descriptions of the terrible blast that same night. Her claim to have heard the faint cries of "Jeay Bhutto" - "Long live Bhutto" - from the wounded as they lay dying in the streets smacks of cheap political mythmaking...

Their music has been headed this way since they first experimented with static on 2003 track “Noisy Summer,” whose opening blast growled threateningly through the background of an otherwise bouncy and adorable chant. From the first ominous rumble out of Foo’s bass on “Aly, Walk With Me,” it’s clear that the tight, swinger style of 2005?...
