...each other. Encore? He'd played almost all the songs on the Darkdancer album. But the encore was not to come, nor would there be surprising covers or stuff from the first album (Liberation). It was short, sharp. For an hour and 15 minutes, LRD had avoided being faceless and anonymous. For an hour and 15 minutes, LRD had personality. For an hour and 15 minutes, Jacques lu Cont had achieved his goal. But the fact remained: an Axis that was only half-full meant LRD were in this case preaching their gospel of fun dance music to the converted...
With a kind of breathless fascination I watch the digital dynamic scroll before me--a fragmented picture of activity that all but invites interpretation. Contrary to stalking, which implies singling out a particular person, "w" displays a sea of faceless usernames. It is this impersonality and vagueness that makes it so addictive. The groundless deconstruction and reconstruction of these ever-changing green columns has become a part-time hobby...
...believe the unbelievable, and Rowling makes it easy and great good fun for them to do so. How pleasant to be persuaded that an orphan named Harry Potter, who has lived for 10 years with the Dursleys, his cruel aunt and uncle and their hateful son Dudley, in a faceless English suburb--specifically 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging--learns shortly after his 11th birthday that he is really a wizard.

"Sea of Words" is one product of her experimentation. Four faceless women are presented in skiffs, struggling against a blur of repeated words accented in gold and white lettering a metaphor for women activists who are struggling to go somewhere, to achieve some goal. According to Stevens, using words is like employing "another tool, another color." Indeed, this method works well...
...Germany who just want to have a good time despite the Nazi occupation? Well, have I got a gem for you. Just take the boyish athletic body of Robert Sean Leonard and replace it with the beerstein physique of a well-fed middle-aged man. Exchange the faceless Gestapo brutes for a surprisingly mild-mannered Herr General. Toss The Duke's sassy “It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got That Swing" in favor of "Veronica, The Girl Who Gathers Asparagus in the Springtime," and you've got yourself The Harmonists...
