Just as the music accompanying Austin Powers as he dances around London suits his style, so too does the new album Peach Head fit a certain style. Only the style is "life in the slow lane." The album comes from Natural Calamity, a band The Japan Times calls "Tokyo's best-kept secret." The record brings guest vocalist Stephanie Heasley together with the original members of Natural Calamity, Shunji Mori and Kuni Sugimoto.

These lucky students have sifted through the mass of pseudo-intellectuals, physicists, Porcellian men, and Pitches to finally stumble upon that one special person to whom they can croon "It had to Be You." These students have evaded the Harvard meat market and have...
