...Canary Wharf on Sept. 15, only to be told that the firm was out of business and that they should look for another job, some of them did what any number of their colleagues around town have been doing for years: they threw a party. On the equity-trading floor, the internal PA system known as the "hoot" blared out the R.E.M. song "It's the End of the World as We Know It." And then, after collecting up their personal possessions, dozens of the Lehmanites crossed the concourse to the pub just opposite, All Bar One, where they drowned...

...pentatonic scale may come from Chinese folk music, but the playful melodies are rooted in pop. The fluttering female voices on "Heavenly Peach Banquet" resolve as the la-la-la-la-las from Minnie Ripperton's "Lovin' You." "Iron Rod" sounds like R2-D2 rapping on a dance floor.

...answer to life’s problems in a pair of leggings—leggings that looked like jeans, I had become delusional. My friends and family had to intervene, tugging the spandex from my grasping hands and threatening to burn them. I sat crumbled and defeated on the floor, wondering what I would do in a leggings-less life. To my surprise, the possibilities were wide.
