...found it harder and harder to stay relevant at its aging 870 mall locations, about the same number of stores it had back in 1970. It has tried everything from financial services (its "socks and stocks" period) to home improvement (the Great Indoors experiment) to returning to its catalog roots, with the purchase of the upscale Lands' End catalog, which has proved to have less broad appeal than Sears had hoped...
...character's mind. Moulin used pop hits by Elton John and David Bowie. But Phantom will make no excuses for being a full-blown, 143-minute rock opera that's more opera than rock.

The even wackier minor characters that swear like sailors and smoke like particularly industrious chimneys. Bridget falling flat on her face, a lot. Further plundering of the Aretha Franklin catalog.

...artists and their production work as the DFA. Their vinyl remixes have been club fodder in NYC and around the world now for more than two years, and DFA #2 marks a milestone in their careers; two discs longer than their first compilation, the set reveals their increasingly prolific catalog at a glance, and the outstanding nature of their production at a listen...
