...Herren returns to the sharp, intricate rhythm collages that made him famous. “Security Screenings” builds its songs on looped samples, delicately intermeshed beats, and electronic flourishes, dipping in and out of new modes with each bar. The result carries both the heft of hiphop and the prettiness of indie electronic. The effect of this fusion can be disorienting, but in a way disorientation is precisely the point: in the opening track, “The Letter: P,” Herren sets up a snatch of movie dialogue, only to undermine and distort the voices...
...different. Onassis made no such provision," he said. "He didn't even name Christina as president." That's not a view Onassis' grandchild shares. With assets ranging from the shipping fleets to property in Paris, London and St. Moritz to development projects spanning the globe, the foundation has the heft and reach of a multinational corporation - and an idiosyncratic structure all its own. Athina's claim stems from the foundation's statutes, which state that a direct descendant of Onassis shall be eligible for the presidency upon reaching the age of 21.

...Double Life) and drowned by Montgomery Clift (A Place in the Sun). Robert Mitchum slit her throat (The Night of the Hunter); James Mason drove her to fatal madness (Lolita).

We agreed that we should also invite India, Australia and New Zealand and keep the center in ASEAN; also, India would be a useful balance to China's heft. This is a getting-together of countries that believe their economic and cultural relations will grow over the years. And this will be a restoration of two ancient civilizations: China and India. With their revival, their influence will again spread into Southeast Asia. It would mean great prosperity for the region...
...material plays stronger live. “Death to Everyone” sounds canned and petulant in the studio version, but on “Summer” Sweeney fleshes out the song’s anemic melody with a menacing electric guitar riff, giving the track much-needed heft. Oldham is a formidable talent, but he is never better than when surrounded by great collaborators. Likewise, the honk-tonk pastiche of “I Send My Love to You” becomes an exhilarating rave-up thanks to Ryder McNair’s unhinged keyboarding. McNair is also...
