...Late last week and over the weekend the bulk of the 4,500-strong NATO task force dubbed Operation Essential Harvest arrived in military transport planes, making Skopje's airport bustle as it hasn't since troops moved in for deployment in Kosovo in the summer of 1999. After a short visit to Macedonia early last week, Supreme Allied Commander General Joseph Ralston reported to the representatives of NATO's 19 member countries that the level of risk was "acceptable" for the alliance to launch the operation.

This practice has become as de rigeur as nipple rings for bands over the last couple years, but it's easy to forget how alien it was to audiences of the recent past. Throughout the bulk of the '90s, the perceived incompatibility of these genres was more than musical; it was subcultural. The cheerleader listened to pop, the wannabe-street kid listened to rap, the aspiring Sundance auteur with the sideways haircut listened to punk. When the genres did mix, like on the soundtrack...
