...tired love tunes, which rarely catch attention without pulling in guest artists. Usually, though, they are bogged down with repetitive and maudlin lyrics. Mary J. Blige lends her soul credibility in “Whenever I Say Your Name” for some of the album’s brighter moments. But ultimately, the song falls flat with its swarmy, sugar-coated chorus and failed attempt at manufactured gospel. The opening track, “Inside,” prepares us for the occasional verbosity and chronic blandness that characterizes the rest of his songs and “Never...
...allow domestic partnerships for gays. No, they voted for him because he’s fiscally conservative. Strange, especially since neither of them will pay taxes for another two years. Since they have nothing to gain in the short run from lower taxes, they must see a brighter, wealthier future ahead with Republicans at the economy’s helm...
...Handspring Treo 300 was the first elegant pairing of Palm PDA and cell phone. Its eagerly awaited follow-up, the Treo 600, keeps up the family name with a built-in camera, a memory-card slot and a much brighter screen.

Expect the phone to sell for around $550 in mid-October; Sprint PCS will be the first to offer service. GSM versions...
...Kentucky quintet’s foray onto the empty alt-country road has never been brighter, more decisive or had more reverb. Where Tennessee Fire drunkenly laid out maps and 2001’s beautiful At Dawn sounded the ignition, the new album pulls out all the stops along the 72-minute path. The beer-stained pool halls and one-night plans of James’ hitchhiker poetry all point to a Neil Young education, while his cyclic, hypnotizing voice (falling between that of early Young and a drunken Wayne Coyne) is as seductive as always. As James himself describes...
...charge up the virtual solar guns that kids fire at vampires and ghouls in the game. Of course, vampires tend to hang out in dungeons, so the ones in Boktai are conveniently equipped with skylights for that extra jolt when a player's in a tight spot. (The brighter it is in the real world, the more virtual light streams through the skylights.) One drawback: the Game Boy screen gets washed out in direct sunlight, but angling the unit prevents that problem...
