...Matt FitzGerald, Tom Schutzinger and Pete Kelly of Decoder Ring are trying to decipher the lyrics sung by guest artist Lenka on the title track to their score for Somersault. It's a floaty ballad in which the film's ethereal Heidi imagines seeing a vision of her lover in snow clouds above the Australian Alps. As they do for the rest of the movie, Decoder Ring provide a soundscape of dark valleys and sunny alpine flourishes, from the deep chime of the glockenspiel to high-pealing piano and xylophone. But how exactly do Lenka's lyrics...
...Decoder Ring should stick to their day jobs - as one of the country's most enigmatic and, since they often play in the dark, disembodied instrumental acts. The moods they scope on guitar (Kelly), keyboards (FitzGerald) and percussion (Schutzinger) defy description. But over the course of three years, one album and legions of live shows, the Sydney band has created countless sounds tracks in search of a movie. Then last year, while watching the rushes of Somersault in Jindabyne, director Shortland was handed their CD by music supervisor Norman Parkhill, and the sound chimed with her vision. "Do you know...

For Rough Sex, Decoder Ring provide a jarring guitar riff...
...Scott Fitzgerald wrote that about his great American faker, Jay Gatsby. Another faker, New Jersey Governor James McGreevey, last week finally smashed the rock upon which his world was founded: "I began to question what an acceptable reality really meant for me," he said at one of the most extraordinary news conferences--at turns lyrical, philosophical and evasive--in U.S. political history. "Were there realities from which I was running?" And then his answer: "My truth is that I am a gay American." That thunderclap was quickly followed by two more: McGreevey said that he had had an extramarital affair...
...self-effacing confidence and good looks charm the crowds, and the fans he has won have made the 42-year-old Chicago lawyer and three-term state senator the hottest property in this year's Senate races. Obama may be on his way to replacing retiring Republican Senator Peter Fitzgerald...
