...Donnas’ fifth full-length effort, Spend the Night, raises a question: just how much more of the band’s jailbait, piss-and-estrogen rock can one palate? The algorithm for their records has always been fairly obvious, drawing its vivacity from the Beach Boys, melody from the Ramones and potency from Bikini Kill. But even the most rawking of formulas will eventually become tiresome as they keep cranking out the same three-minute, guitar-reliant anthems. The Donnas may need to do some tweaking, and God forbid, some maturing, as the years...
...former historian and now political guru to President Bush, is writing a short history of his office, which over the years housed, among others, Kennedy's political operative, Larry O'Brien; Eisenhower and Nixon's troubleshooter, Bryce Harlow; and Cabinet Secretary Elizabeth Dole. "The office has the only full-length vanity mirror in the West Wing," says Rove.

But it's worth the back-and-forth legwork to see such superb pairings as Velázquez's 1636-37 full-length portrait of the actor Pablo de Valladolid with Manet's 1865-66 The Tragic Actor, Portrait of Rouvi?re in the role of Hamlet. With 40 paintings and drawings, Manet dominates the show, but the five Velázquez portraits alone are worth the long lines out front. Constable...
...playing their songs should give a good sense of just how little rejection this Boston-based trio has encountered with respect to their modestly successful first album. Their sophomore effort, Rejection Builds Character, proves that the band (which switched drummers in the interim) has actually improved since its first full-length release, smoothing out many of the ragged edges that plagued How to Be Cool...
