But those genes have afforded us an ability to adapt from foraging for hazelnuts to searching the Web in the evolutionary blink of an eye. What happens in the next blink is anybody's guess...

We Love the City contains a couple of bonus videos, and the band dons the most amazingly surreal skin-colored body molding outfit (members flailing and all) for the video of “Good Fruit” that makes Blink 182’s unfocused streaking look like the adolescent teeny-bopper trash it really...

And music is more splintered into niche markets and tribal followings. It can be tricky to navigate the byways of postpunk and trip-hop, ambient techno and speed metal. But remember, there was a time when you had no trouble telling...
