...Colombo, Sri Lanka's busy commercial capital, the disco-loving night crawlers tend to be far removed from the city's working class. But there is one place where their two worlds intersect: Hotel de Pilawoos. No evening out in Colombo is complete without an after-midnight pit stop by this grungy eatery on the Galle Road. If you're put off by the rust-ridden iron furniture and curry-stained floors (Pilawoos doesn't win awards for hygiene), then follow the example of the local ?lite and chow down in the comfort of your car. Any time...
...music scene has been faster than any London tube-station escalator. Almost unheard of a few months ago, this month Franz Ferdinand found itself on the cover of Britain's tastemaking bible the NME with the headline: this band will change your life. Their second single, a riff-driven disco stomp called Take Me Out, entered the British charts at No. 3, boding well for the release of their first eponymous album on Feb. 9. Why all the hype? Their winning formula is exciting but familiar: a tightly arranged take on late-'70s influences, from Talking Heads to Joy Division...
...Barbados is now outfitted with computers that offer Internet access, PlayStation on a big-screen TV, pool tables and a jukebox filled with Pink and Avril Lavigne. Beaches Boscobel, a resort in Jamaica, has an arcade with Sega, Xbox and PlayStation, bonfires on the beach and a teens-only disco. After braving the Leap of Faith water slide with a 60-ft. drop at Atlantis in the Bahamas, minors can head to Club Rush, a nightclub with leopard-print couches. Teens aboard Disney's Magic cruise ship can bond in a Friends-style coffeehouse called Common Grounds, shown at left...
...overdoses, plane crashes and guest appearances on American Dreams combined. It's called second-album syndrome, and it is a cruel and unpredictable assassin. Paula Cole, the promising pop-folk bohemian of the late '90s, got seven Grammy nominations for her major-label debut, then inexplicably decided to go disco. Search parties have all but given up hope of finding her. Second-album syndrome usually works quickly, but it can also behave like a slow, dignity-robbing virus. Britney Spears had a choice when putting together her second album--establish a pattern of artistic evolution or repeat the formula...
...much street cred here. But Dash doesn't need any. At only 32, he is CEO of a $500 million company. Beyond the fact that he's a hip-hop executive, Dash defies easy characterization. He loves the disco rhythms of Blondie. He has seen friends gunned down in his Harlem neighborhood, yet he attended an exclusive New York City prep school and played lacrosse in Connecticut. "Do you know how hard it was to come back to my neighborhood in penny loafers with khaki pants and a blazer?" Dash asks. And he recently produced comeback singles for the former...
