...like most WB shows, Buffy the Vampire Slayer keeps a close eye on its soundtrack and has now culled 17 choice songs for an official Buffy album. The surprise is that it's fairly cohesive and quite good, with songs featuring solid bass, wicked guitar and plenty of longing.

...that they mean to be intimidatingothey're quite friendly and a number of them won't look their interlocutors in the eye for more than three seconds. But strength lies in numbers, and the Kroks end up like punchmasters more than anything else, except that, as one Porcellian member points out to me, the Krokodiloes make their judgements based on some kind of objective merit.
