...share some elements with 1973’s seminal “Raw Power.” There’s the tendency of tracks to end long after they should, and for songs such as “She Took My Money” to feature randomly-inserted gibberish and yelling—recall old-school classic “Penetration.” Both albums feature a variety of sounds, but while the first defined a genre, the second seems only to retread musical styles that arose since the band’s early years...
...Certainly the dream-boy was welcome in Slumberland, where King Morpheus and his princess daughter are most obliging, and where Nemo befriends the sassy Flip and a gibberish-speaking cannibal, the Imp. Often, though, the magic turned to menace, as when a tuba's tubing grows longer and more serpentine with every note puffed on it; or when Nemo, now in an urban setting, is pursued by apartment building on long metallic legs; or when he, Flip and Imp get lost in overgrown weeds - the eyebrow of Nemo's grandfather. In a strip that ran on New Year...
Many of the claims are "hysterical gibberish," maintains Prop 90 spokesman Kevin Spillane, noting that compensation would be required only for "substantial" damage to property values. The initiative exempts health and safety regulations, he points out, and current zoning laws would still apply, protecting beaches and steep slopes, for instance. As for future laws, he argues, "if you own a piece of property that's zoned one way, then it is unfair for the government to change the rules." While California's initiative affects only future government actions, Washington's Initiative 933 allows landowners to file retroactive claims for changes...
...geek variety - and you?re sure to be pummeled by an onslaught of negative adjectives and metaphors. Indeed, Boll is no stranger to criticism: when his film Alone in the Dark-based on the video game of the same name-came out in 2005, critics called it "overblown, amateurish gibberish," and used it as proof that Boll "belongs in the pantheon of inept directors." His follow-up film BloodRayne, another video game adaptation, was equally panned, and left critics declaring that he was "fast becoming one of the worst directors on the planet." Just this week in fact, TIME...
...accompanying sound track booming out of several large loudspeakers. After the singing, the preacher launches into a sermon extolling the growth of Christianity in China. Then he steps among the tightly packed worshippers, holding their heads and praying over them, chanting what would sound to most Chinese like gibberish. Soon most of the room has joined him in fervent, noisy prayer, many swaying back and forth, eyes squeezed shut, moaning, shouting, wailing. One woman repeats over and over, "Oh mashalah, oh Yesu, oh mashalah, oh Yesu, oh Yesu, oh Yesu." (Yesu is Jesus; mashalah seems to mean nothing.) The woman...
