...Collins of Detroit garage rock legends the Gories, the Dirtbombs have continually proven they can use excess to their advantage. They have been known to record with two bassists and two drummers, adding an extra dose of raw power to Collins’s original compositions, and their wide catalog of cover songs ranges from punk to funk. “We Have You Surrounded” finds the Dirtbombs combining all their musical strengths onto one disc. Soulful second track “Ever Lovin’ Man,” with its Motown-esque background vocals, harkens back...
...hear the echoes of a decade’s worth of Mountain Goats tracks. But instead of the intimate string arrangements and piano parts which now accompany Darnielle’s acoustic guitar, the production values of older albums were quite different. Most of Darnielle’s back catalog finds him alone, strumming his guitar furiously, his voice passionate and raw.

The cluttered old catalog, with its idiosyncratic and long-winded descriptive paragraphs following the course titles, has been rendered obsolete by crisp tables of course titles each followed by a chain of 10 numbers. Nowadays, that’s all you need.Students have no doubt been looking for academic shortcuts for as long...
...candidates have taken to using. In it, “terror” is defined as a shadowy coalition of America’s (Muslim) enemies, not a feeling; “compassion” is not a virtue, but a hidebound, evangelical conception of charity. Amid this catalog of inexactitudes, the most egregious example must be terror’s foil, “freedom”: In its reduction to the neoconservative excuse par excellence and a shoddy façade of altruism, all the chauvinism of the White House word-smiths is laid bare; at once...
