...scarily brilliant album, and I’d hate to jeopardize chances of hearing any follow-up projects from The Furnaces. Matthew’s description of the record, however pretentious, is spot on. Many of the album’s tracks recreate the faux-Satanic feel of classic Black Sabbath and Bauhaus. The Furnaces substitute creepy synthesizer effects for death metal power chords, but the results are equally ominous.

...foreigner, held at home or overseas, but that is no reason for complacency. Under the definition adopted by the U.S., CID occurs when an interrogation technique “shocks the conscience.” But CIA Director Porter Goss testified in March that water-boarding—a classic form of torture in which suspects are subjected to mock execution by drowning—is a “professional interrogation technique.” Timothy Flanigan, former deputy White House counsel who at the time had been nominated as deputy attorney general, refused during testimony in September...
