This subterranean enclave serves cappuccino, gazpacho and flan to black-clad clientele. The tres chic and bohemian alike ponder over Nabakov until one in the morning, long after Lamont has gone to bed. The quieter hours during the day are more conducive to studying, perhaps on the outside patio, but conversation overheard at Pamplona is always temptingly distracting...
...Ashdown Manor served as a residence hall for an eclectic group of British university students: Sarah Tudor, a wistful teacher-in-training prone to occasional lapses in consciousness; Terry Worth, soon to be the bohemian film critic of his generation; Robert, one of Terry's closest friends; Gregory Dudden, a cold-hearted, egocentric medical student; and Veronica, the militant lesbian whose dreams of work in the theater always remained unfulfilled.

Like Badu, D'Angelo and other artists in the rising Black Bohemian movement, Mariah shows a willingness to glide through her whole vocal range, layer her melodies and isolate a specific moment of romantic rapture. The idiosyncratic rhymes and loose rhythm track help make the song as unique and attention-getting as most of the other songs are plastic and disposable...
