...they choose to "take another stab at me, I promise in time I'll heal." When a band finds a style they can call their own and moves away from the extremes of their past work, they get often get fted as "more mature."

...British middle class couple, Barlow Adamson and Marie Larkin move carefully around their disgustingly perfect home (constructed with aggravating blandness--lemon yellow sofa draping and all--by stage designer Jeff Gardiner) pouring drinks for one another and speaking in formal semi-monotones.

Vaux is currently translating TinTin into a number of endangered languages--Singaporean English, Calypso (an English-based Creole spoken on St. Thomas), and Cape Verdean...
