...death because Max has touched upon his dream, so he flees back to his accounting office. I wrote a simple, touching song for Leo to sing all by himself, I Wanna Be a Producer. Stro took the song and multiplied it by a million pink gels. She created a drab, soul-crushing accounting office where Leo secretly ruminates about his fantasy. The dream sequence was entirely her idea--beautiful chorus girls in golden costumes stepping out of filing cabinets, the water cooler becoming an enormous Dom Perignon champagne bottle. She knows the human heart so well, she knew what...
...Fujiwara, director of research at Tokyo's Hakuhodo Institute of Life and Living. "The families who are willing to pay have made (children) reluctant to settle for something that requires a lot of hard-ship and work." Now, these psychedelic rangers are becoming as common as Japan's stereotypical drab corporate clone, the salaryman, and their culture is bubbling up from the social underbelly, seriously changing the look of the scene...

...military-training Survivor look-alike that prompted a lawsuit from CBS (since swiping hit concepts is unheard-of in the TV business). But while it is derivative and goofy--the screaming "drill instructors" put the "camp" in Boot Camp--it also shows a kind of olive-drab heart. Its major structural difference from Survivor is the most telling: the "recruits" conduct grueling reward challenges, not in teams, but as one unit. It's the most literal example of a widespread reality-show theme: that ordinary folk (including a professional balloon sculptor), working together and given motivation...
...Love the City is actually a concept album dedicated to the city of London, which isn’t necessarily a good thing, as the album tends to suffer from being a little too serious, over-drab, gray, and bleak, mirroring more the London weather than the more subtle sense of anything wry, cynical, cutting edge, or characteristically London-cool...
