Although a good portion of “Head First” radiates happiness, there are a few darker moments that hearken back to the duo’s earlier style. However, Goldfrapp doesn’t quite pull it off like they did with their sultry 2003 hit single “Strict Machine.” “Shiny and Warm” comes close, with a pulsating rhythm that compliments Alison’s eerily beautiful vocals, but the mindless lyrics undercut the song’s efforts. “Hunt” also falls...

There is an extremist tendency in the Asian-American communities to which I have been exposed: You are either Korean or not, hence the popularity of terms such as "white-washed" (bleached and freshly pressed American), "Twinkie" (carby Asian on the outside, creamy White on the inside), and "FOB" (fresh off the boat...
