...pretty much just another partisan shouting match, albeit with both sides striving for the appropriate hushed tones when speaking of the Court itself. Make it 6-3 or 7-2 or more, though, and the buzzword on cable-news correspondents' lips will be "supermajority." And then it starts to echo...

...summer but has never really caught on. When Baha Men finally recorded Dogs, they explored beats more familiar to American audiences--throwing in some junkanoo (Bahamian festival music) percussion to give it their signature flair. The result is the catchy rendition you've heard so often: urban, with an echo of the islands.

...accentuate the distinction between a humanized George III and his puppet-like court.

Ian also outdid my studio setup of two bass amplifiers by using a total of six guitar amps, though never, I believe, simultaneously...

...contemporary Piano Trio, a piece by Schnittke in two movements, emerged under the trio's hands as a work of magical realism. In Schnittke's piece, the first movement begins deceptively happily before spiralling into intermittent dissonance. Pressler created a haunting echo under the strings, an ever-bubbling undercurrent of the dissonance to come, as each performer surprised the audience as he punctured the melody with a seemingly random trill...
