While these English alternoids have been acclaimed by the British press, one cannot overlook such egregious flaws on their first album as song intros that evoke modern-day classics like Oasis' "Wonder-wall." The semi-title track "Polythene Girl" and single "Cement" stand out as acceptable contributions to the category they generally get lumped in: poppy British space-rock. On the other hand, the rest of the album is just more fodder for the genre's growing scrap heap. Feeder, a threesome, seem to focus on song lyrics about drugs and problems with girlfriends, but hey, who doesn...
...rather deserted stretch of Main Street just beyond Central Square. It opened this September in space left vacant by Anago Bistro's move downtown to the Lenox Hotel. If not for the periodic rumble of the T massaging the feet of restaurant patrons, one could easily forget the cement jungle outside of the door.

He's on death row at Louisiana State Prison at Angola, a former plantation turned high-security prison that was made infamous by the movie Dead Man Walking. Cousin's cell is small and stark, with cement floors, a metal sleeping bunk and a squat, steel toilet. He is locked in his cell 23 hours a day, with a one-hour break to exercise or use the telephone. Meals are pushed through a slot in the door: breakfast at 5:30 a.m., lunch at 10:30 a.m., dinner...
