...prog-rock guitar, but both explode halfway through (with organs and screaming, respectively).When not engaging in their usual dramatics, Destroyer does well just being pretty. Opening track “Blue Flower/Blue Flame” sticks firmly to strummy acoustic guitar. Piano and lazy steel guitar eventually drift in, but they never overwhelm Bejar’s poetry. “Introducing Angels” is perhaps the most simplistic song, but it’s also the most straightforwardly beautiful. The lines are literally punctuated by sighs. Strings swell to the song’s climax, piano tinkles...
...Jacknife) Lee, who worked on U2's "still-got-it!" record, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, thereby earning a Ph.D. in jarring legends from complacency, grasped that making an album that didn't stop to think would solve R.E.M.'s two biggest problems: Stipe's tendency toward romantic drift and Buck's stunted, decadelong desire to plug in his guitar and blow people away. Dispensing with dirge-y ballads and long musical bridges to nowhere, Accelerate clocks in at a frenzied 35 min., with five of the 11 tracks zooming by in under-3-min., leave-the-room...

Many of Heathrow's homeless will likely stay at the airport until they are arrested, or become ill. Until then, they will drift for nights on end in an otherworldly limbo of gleaming corridors, somnambulant passengers, and nonsensical advertisements for a life beyond their reach: The Linde Group: Those who split the air reshape the world.

...Internet speed. But he adds the disclaimer that “you shouldn’t expect to have the speed and capacity that an industrial business would have.”Selsby acknowledges the recent impracticability of “plugging in,” citing an unexpected drift towards wireless-only usage, with 91 percent of the class of 2010—compared to 70 percent of the class of 2007—using Harvard wireless. “Wireless wasn’t intended to replace wired when it was made, so as such it wasn?...
