Orgy made its name with their debut album Candyass and hit cover "Blue Monday." But Orgy is a strange breed, mixing alternative angst with a dramatically unique science fiction sound that harks back to the '80s, aux accents and all. This brand of self-labelled "death-pop" makes references to the "Message from Opticon/Blast from the fashion bomb" almost believable. This is the new millennium after all, right? But while Orgy's new album Vapor Transmission is nothing but innovative, the novelty soon wears after their deservedly well-made hit "Fiction (Dreams in Digital)," which brings the issue of permanent...
Model-plane flyers--and there are lots of them--are a passionate breed. The brainy but little-known hobby has been on the rise in the past five years. Last year membership in the 64-year-old Academy of Model Aeronautics, the hobby's sanctioning body, grew by 6%, the largest increase ever.

At the same time, this former Geto Boy struggles to make sense of himself, often to little avail. He nonchalantly disowns flashing Rolexes and popping Cristal champagne on "It Ain't Part II," only to extol the virtues of casual sex on "In & Out." But the moments...
