...well-spiced without obscuring the delicate flavor of its namesake ingredient. My only critique is that the crust was a bit tough, a flaw that I was willing to overlook by virtue of its golden butteriness. My friend had a latte and a Whoopie cake: the classic chocolate cupcake filled with vanilla cream. I snuck a taste of the chocolate ganache frosting when he wasn’t looking and just about melted with joy. When I went back on Saturday afternoon to speak to Clark, the store was quieter, although I did spot a Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies...

There’s the sickening way Game intentionally lowers his voice to sound as much like Dr. Dre as possible. And then of course, there’s the whining. To varying degrees throughout the album...
...first shot, the plaintive piano melody of Gary Jules’ “Mad World” wafts into the scene. Originally performed by synth-rock legends Tears for Fears, Jules’ version of the song is most famous for its use at the end of cult classic film “Donnie Darko.” Its unabashed sentimentality and total abstention from narration is a breath of fresh air for a format usually characterized by overdriven guitar pyrotechnics and blaring hyper-sell voiceovers.But what does it all mean? And what’s it doing here...
