...like an anti-festival in a way,” Barry Hogan says of All Tomorrow’s Parties (ATP), which he founded in 1999 as a smaller, more intimate alternative to Britain’s larger music festivals. But over the past nine years, Hogan has grown ATP into one of the world’s most robust music festivals, and later this month, ATP will hold its first festival in the New York City area, featuring shoegaze pioneers My Bloody Valentine in their first American show in 16 years.According to Hogan, My Bloody Valentine?...
...Democrats in a generic Democratic year. They worry that he's too professorial, too nuanced, too dispassionate, too above-the-fray cool.

They fear that his message of change has grown stale, that his efforts to paint McCain as another George W. Bush aren't working, that Sarah Palin flat-out stole his mojo.

Joining in efforts to revive Zimbabwe’s economy would help ease this skepticism and restore some of the United States’ pre-Iraq reputation...

In the early weeks of the general-election campaign, a consensus has grown in the political community - a consensus that ranges from practitioners like Karl Rove to commentators like, well, me - that John McCain has allowed his campaign to slip the normal bounds of political propriety. The situation has gotten so intense that we in the media have slipped our normal rules as well. Usually when a candidate tells something less than the truth, we mince words. We use euphemisms like mendacity and inaccuracy...
