...sitting in a circle around him for confirmation. They nod and grunt assent, and he proceeds to talk about the time their shy ancestors hid themselves from the outside world in Liang Bua, a high-ceilinged cavern scooped out of a limestone hill about a kilometer away. Again a chorus of agreement. "Tell how Paju left the cave and married one of the normal humans," calls out a voice from the crowd, "[and] how we came to live here in Rampasasa." Jurubu hesitates. After a pause, he opens his mouth to speak, but his words are drowned...
...kind of thrilling dislocation as vintage Sun Ra, without any of the unfortunate cat-yelping antimelodiousness. Melodies are everywhere; they just take a while to emerge because Albarn and Burton have stirred them all together. Dirty Harry has the shimmering keyboards of The Message and the eerily blank kiddie chorus of Another Brick in the Wall. O Green World has a Song 2 guitar line and a countermelody seemingly by Atari. Reference points from rock, rap, dance, dub and world music pop up and disappear again, blending until Demon Days feels like a unified theory of music (even...
...Cure's Robert Smith and U2's Bono), but his swing from nonchalant weariness to faint glimmer of hope on this up-tempo heartbreak tune is so winning it almost sounds new. Akon Lonely Senegal-born, U.S.-raised Akon starts his tale of abandonment with typical woe.

...well above the national average of 11.8%. The spd blames ruthless capitalists; party chairman Franz Müntefering accused foreign investors of stripping assets and ignoring the human cost in jobs and livelihoods (see sidebar). North Rhine-Westphalia's spd governor Peer Steinbrück joined the chorus during a debate with his rival, cdu candidate Jürgen Rüttgers: "I expect companies that are making record profits to create jobs." But locals blame the spd. When Müntefering addressed around 1,000 Duisburg workers on May Day, they pelted him with eggs as he stood behind...
...sixth or seventh time will it occur to you that there's not a single original thing about it. I Summon You involves a guy, a girl and a long drive. It's played at a wistful but assured mid-tempo on guitar, bass, drums and keyboards. The chorus goes, "Aww no, where are you tonight?" If your record collection takes up more than a shelf, you already own a dozen variations of this song--and you'll need this one too. It sounds old and feels new, and it's a reminder that in the right hands the most...
