...Jaxx show was a very conscious attempt at uniting house and pop music, which seem worlds apart but are quite similar in spirit. Something clicked when the booming but unremarkable intro beats segued perfectly into the reassuringly familiar single “Romeo,” whose singalong chorus had nothing to do with the vocalist or band, but instead implored the crowd to “let it all go” into the carefully sculpted track. It was a deceptive ploy that soon had bona fide dancers singing along with the raunchy divas, and dance neophytes feeling...
...with an opposing agenda.” A curious locution. Who, if not Hoxby, opposes the progressive economics of a living wage at Harvard? As a conservative economist who does not otherwise hide her criticism of unions in her scholarship on school choice and who clearly wants a chorus of opponents of the living wage behind her, she has no good reason to misrepresent her politics on the committee, except, of course, if she wishes to misconstrue “diversity of opinion.” For more than a decade conservative ideologues on college campuses, on the airwaves...

...motley crew of influences ranging from 50s jangle pop to British Invasion rock to New Wave. The songs, save some masterful use of modulation showcased in tracks like “Soma,” are simplistic—no fancy drumming, straightforward guitar chords in a verse-chorus-verse matrix. Still, good, catchy music doesn’t have to be cerebral or complex—Is This It hits the listener on a gut level and gets under his skin until he’s bobbing his head, tapping his foot and wishing that he too were surrounded...
