...test is not so much a test of knowledge but a test of stamina," Kiprilov says. "They really numb you up with all those exercises and all those full-length exams that you have no choice but to let go of the stress...
After more than 20 years in the music business, the Mekons have redefined their sound yet again. Formed in 1979, this British group began as a punk band, but Journey to the End of the Night, their first full-length release in two years, retains few of those roots. Experimenting with a blend of folk and alternative sound, the Mekons bring melancholic, brooding melodies to light. Unfortunately, the album's new material falls short of the expectations one would have of a band with such history...
...opening song of Aimee Mann's first full-length album in five years ponders the eternal question: "How Am I Different?" Anyone who has listened to her previous albums, and now this masterpiece, knows the answer. First (and foremost), Mann's songwriting manages to capture emotion at its most intense and set it to a beautiful yet powerful melody.

Roth's ultimate love interest is found in Lank Hawkins (Jonathan Steinberger '01), a gun-toting, tough-talking, scene-stealing cowboy, who, along with Ben Kornell '02 as the ever...
...hatred of Fatboy Slim to the media (market self-sabotage--how will the masses relate?). Just as untimid in her work, she had Depeche Mode, Lamb, the Orb, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Steve Reich come under remixing at her hands before she began work on Kiss My Arp, her full-length debut. A session vocalist and classically trained cellist, Parker's Kiss (much anticipated after her glowing addition to the 1998 DJ Kicks series) brings her talents together in a brilliant torch of perfectly programed darkside downtempo. Cold vocals in "The Unknown" smart initially but burn grooves in the head, like...
