When the six band members of the Histrionics don their Jackson Pollock-inspired "drip" suits for a performance at Melbourne's Australian Centre for the Moving Image this week, there's sure to be an art student or two in the house. And they'll feel quite at home as these self-proclaimed kings of "Concept-Art-Heritage-Rock-Covers" move swiftly through their set. With their razor-witted reinterpretations, AC/DC's '70s classic T.N.T. becomes Nam June Paik, named after the grandfather of video art; Devo's Whip It barely misses a beat as an anthem to Abstract Expressionism...

Maybe the "surge" will turn out to be a huge success and vindicate Bush's strategy. But please - let's not pretend that staying the course is a favor to the troops...
...aroused. 8. Mix yourself a nice, large, self-satisfied cocktail the moment you realize that none of these people will ever be happy because they are all stupid and mean. 9. Drink every time this movie makes you glad to be single. You may have to use an intravenous drip for the last fifteen minutes, but it’s worth it. —Jillian J. Goodman
