...draw a big meaty bass line from Flannery O’Connor to the Drive-By Truckers, who distill a murky Southern legacy of incest, murder and generational family feuds. Decoration Day is less ambitious but ultimately more satisfying than their patchy double-disc breakthrough Southern Rock Opera, as the band better weaves their shotgun triple-guitar formula and continue to deliver their moonshine-soaked tales with equal bouts of irony and reverence. With no less than three capable songwriters at their disposal, the songs occasionally sound better off the lyric sheet than through speakers. But when the band...
...These titles, of Warner Bros. cartoon shorts from the '40s and '50s, may not sound like those of enduring works of cinematic art, but they are--as surely as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are two of the deftest farceurs to grace the movie medium. Now, on a four-disc DVD set, Looney Tunes Golden Collection ($64.92), the magnificent menagerie lives again, pristinely restored. Any fan can argue with the choices (Why not more Bob Clampett stuff? Where is Tex Avery!?) but not with the hours of cogent analysis and interviews. They show that what the front office dismissed...
Dumpster divers who make a living from personal information pulled from the trash don't care what form it comes in--paper, plastic or floppy disc. So why not play it safe? The MD 100 Media Destroyer is a paranoid's dream come true. It flattens raised numbers on old credit and ATM cards before cutting them to ribbons. It shreds a CD in about four seconds, reducing it to shards too small to be used for any kind of data recovery. It slices right through floppy discs, metal clips and all. You have to fold letter-size paper before...
...players and burners are becoming increasingly popular, so it was probably only a matter of time before electronics makers started putting DVD burners right into their camcorders. After all, why hook your camera to the TV when you can just pop out the disc and toss it in the player? (The 8-cm discs can also be played on most PCs with DVD-ROM drives.) Hitachi was the first to launch DVD camcorders, back in 2000, but they were bulky and expensive. The new, slimmed-down versions are cheaper and easier to use. Hitachi's DZ-MV350A ($900, left...
...feeling them at Jive Records in New York City, that's for sure. Executives at Spears' label must be watching in horror as their grand plans for the singer's whirlwind two-week European publicity tour - to promote the Nov. 17 release of her fourth album, a pulsating dance disc called In the Zone, on which she moans and groans to a more grown-up and blatantly sexual beat - shiver and cough to a halt. Spears has made only one stop on the tour before Paris, five days and at least one allegedly shaky night in London. Now the rest...
