...album breaks most genre-categories. Its aim is the creation of a moving and gorgeous sound, and it succeeds gloriously. This is the “African” music all of the Vampire Weekends have been striving to create for years: unbridled, joyful, lush, and paradoxically cosmic...
...renovations or extensions, a common custom in these two countries. The bricks seem to be the concrete representation of a family’s hopes and dreams, and as a compilation of images they form the hopes and dreams of a country as well. Another piece, “Cosmic Thing,” created in 2002, is made up of a 1989 Volkswagen Beetle dismantled down to its individual parts and hung by metal wire from the ceiling. The pieces are organized to form a 3-D model of the car that looks as if it has leapt...
...Willis is better than his material. He keeps you watching, inspecting the carcass, and not just because there's not much else to look at. With his coiled poise and the compact gestures of someone who doesn't mind being scrutinized by the camera, Willis exudes worldly wariness and cosmic weariness, as if he'd achieved a state of Zen machismo.

The Australian quickly e-mailed NASA, and scientists manning an infrared telescope in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, confirmed his hunch: a fast-moving object--possibly a comet--had apparently smashed into the solar system's largest planet, leaving a nearly Earth-size "scar" in its atmosphere. The collision came almost exactly 15 years after a comet last hit Jupiter...
