...moved to Sundays. But NBC has created a ratings scheme just so crazy that it might work. What we may be seeing here is a new evolution of the Reality TV genre at work, one which, rather than relying on hyperbolizations of pseudo-reality, aspires to some seamless fusion of the real and the really-well-written instead. Every topic addressed in last Sunday’s debate between candidates Vinick (Alan Alda) and Santos (Jimmy Smits) seemed unnervingly contemporary in its relevance, from war and oil to health care.

Datar ’07 and T. Riya Sen ’07). The outstanding stars of the night took...
...traditionally sterile genre of electronica. Recordings of the brothers playing ‘real instruments,’ electronicized beyond recognition, form the foundation of the tracks. Friends’ voices, birds chirping, and retro audio clips are mixed into the electronic medley. The result? An organic-electronic fusion of past and future, rural and urban, earthy and space-age. Tape-decks in hand, the Sandison brothers are forging the next era of electronica...
