...Tore Johannson integrating diverse genre elements and quotations to create the albums deliriously composite and cohesive sound. Good Humor is almost inconceivable: a broad, ecstatic blend of the pristine disco of ABBA, the elegant jazz pop of Steely Dan, the rhythmic bass throb of funk and the bleary-eyed cocktail electronica of trip-hop. The product is anything but tired; on Sylvie, for example, the rueful, cosmopolitan irony of the lyric is offset completely by a glowing arrangement. The overlay of subtle syncopations and retro instrumentation makes the song surreal and engaging, like a chance meeting with Burt Bacharach after...
...stands on stocks big and small, only to be overwhelmed by huge sellers. Take General Electric: on Friday I bought shares at $75, then $74 and then $73, and then I doubled down at $72 with 18 minutes left before the bell.

The color code for Brown, the commander, is red; for Glenn, a payload specialist, it's purple. "The shrimp cocktail they fix is very, very good," says Glenn, "as good as what you'd get at Delmonico's. Curt likes shrimp, and I always tell him that when he's on the flight deck and I'm hungry, I'm going to go looking...
...blue, high-necked and from the Gap -- that much we know. But fans of this most salacious patch of the Lewinsky scandal (and who isn't one?) will remember that the media's February frock frenzy included tales of another dress, generally held to be a slinky black cocktail number, that seemed to mysteriously morph into the blue dress in reports this week...
