...scarf advocating Palestinian liberation, which I must say is very chic and somewhat ironic. The scarves of today, however, are very different than the weaselly scarves of yesteryear. They are large, usually in a bold graphic print with lots of fringe. This style could be hard to wear (cf. the Olsen Twins, especially Mary Kate, who loves wearing such scarves with no pants). The trick to wearing such a voluminous scarf is, once again, to master the strange game of proportion—a game that none of you Harvard students seem to quite understand, considering your collective love...
...lawsuit filed by Carol Burnett claims Fox toon comedy The Family Guy stole her Charwoman character, theme music and signature ear tug. Blogsite CELEBRITY FIRST warns, "If all parodies end up with legal actions, there should be a separate ministry to deal with the lawsuits."

...Sherry. In structure, there's nothing new here: a straightforwardly perky wooing song with a girl's name (cf. Randy and the Rainbows' "Denise") and a tempo close to the 1957 Maurice Williams "Stay." A boy invites a girl to "come, come, come out tonight ... to my Twist party," The percussion was the soon-to-be-familiar Seasons combination of hand-claps and marching feet that lent a military air to the enterprise. The unique element, of course, was Valli's voice, stretching two words into ten aching, urgent syllables ("Sheh...
...those things that anyone can do (badly), and in the MP3 age, its gotten even easier to do (and, logic dictates, worse-sounding): pimply techheads everywhere are filling the internet with cryable cross-genre “mash-ups” of old and new pop songs (cf. Jay Z’s lyrics on top of Pavement, Weezer, Sgt. Pepper). Erstwhile DJ, dork-stud and half of the folksy Kings of Convenience Erlend Oye doesn’t need to prove his musical chops, and as the DJ Kicks logo indicates, he?...
