...producer whose output has mostly focused on heavy, introspective beats, the ease with which Wilkinson creates slower, warmer melodies is impressive. While the found sound production aesthetic of his past work is still noticeable, the increased presence of electric guitar allows the structure of each track to catch hold. Filtered through a resonating old gramophone-type effect, the guitar acts sort of like sun glare, transfiguring the simple chord progressions and also making them perfect sleep music. “Lovers Carvings,” in particular, features ideally lustrous guitar work that gets along well with a late afternoon...
...intelligence post. Most are Tajiks from northern Afghanistan who know as little about the troubled Pashtun regions of southern and eastern Afghanistan as an Indiana farm boy would about gangs in the Bronx. Posted in Kandahar and then in Kabul, Laghmani had the contacts and the cunning to catch many Taliban involved in kidnappings, bomb attacks and drug-trafficking.

So rather than wait in line at the lost-luggage counter, I took a phone number to call in the report later.

Even the public TV journalist seemed at a loss as he sheepishly attempted to find common ground between the motley collection of candidates during his election wrap-up. On the far right of the podium was a neo-Nazi, joined by a Communist and Social Democrat in the middle, then a probusiness liberal, an environmentalist Green...
...sexually assaulting one another left and right this year. Similarly, with fewer minutes to internalize their proctor’s rules and instructions, the Yard will likely see a rash of life-threatening hot-plate fires. And don’t even be surprised this year if you catch a freshman consuming an illegal alcoholic beverage in his residence or while congregating outside his burnt-down entryway...
