...music in one democratic bite. If Beck had lassoed the presumed spirit of Generation-X cool with his way-ward loser persona, the massive sound collage of Odelay put Beck even a step ahead of the zeitgeist. This was the sound of the future--just like the past, only hipper, more eclectic and with even more banjos...
...crowded marketplace. UPN sees itself as a smarter throwback to the mass-audience network approach of the 1960s and '70s (among its newest shows: an updated version of The Love Boat), while the WB, the more successful of the two, has targeted teenage viewers with such younger, hipper shows as Dawson's Creek and Buffy the Vampire Slayer...
When they first achieved prominence back in the '80s, the Beasties styled themselves as hipper than hip-hop, cooler than punk and masters of both.

"I think you can answer that question yourself," was as close as Ray Lankford was going...
...major notches. In its previous incarnation at 798 Main Street (now home of Salts Restaurant), Anago Bistro was a hidden gem--intimate, understated, and consistently excellent. Alas, popularity corrupts. With the move toward self-iconization and the strategic new location, Anago's former cachet has been exploited. The larger, hipper Anago is struggling to adapt to its new image...
