I feel so low and worthless,” and though I’m not sure how Glasvegas’ debut compares with Oasis’s best, I hope that despite oncoming success, the band will hold onto some of their angst and continue making great music. Cousins can’t have sibling rivalries, right? —Reviewer Andrew F. Nunnelly can be reached at nunnelly@fas.harvard.edu...
...That album’s bizarre, esoteric liner notes became one of Fahey’s many trademarks. It was Fahey who, in effect, discovered Kottke, when the latter mailed his demo recordings to Fahey’s nascent label, Takoma Records; to this day, Kottke’s debut remains Takoma’s best-selling record.

"Hi, Wolf!" chirped beaming CNN correspondent Jessica Yellin, who was in Chicago at the victory rally for President-elect Barack Obama yet miraculously appeared on TV to be standing before anchor Wolf Blitzer in the CNN newsroom, waving - and surrounded by a fuzzy white line. In the studio, Blitzer was talking to empty space, although he could see Yellin on a nearby monitor. "We beamed you in here into...
