Bassist, singer, sometime hip-hopper Me'Shell NdegeOcello created a wake-up call in her first album, Plantation Lullabies, brimming with funk and flavor and attitude. Her new CD, Bitter, is more of a good-night kiss, slow, atmospheric and a bit weepy. Bitter, which features narcoleptic production by Craig Street, has carefully structured songs and cautious vocals, but it lacks NdegeOcello's edginess and verve.

...exhibition itself is sober, clearly set out and--given some of the Whitney's embarrassing efforts in the past to swamp serious art with intrusive audiovisual aids like at the 1995 Edward Hopper show--fairly short on hoopla.

Obsessed with stripping away levels of reality through poetic form and controlled language, Hollander looks at art from as many directions as possible in order to get at the truth.

Recent construction in the heart of the Square has left the Tasty's hallowed former locale looking like Hopper's Nighthawks--which could be charming were not Abercrombie and Fitch setting up house there. Tacky, tacky...
...Crimson's only rally of an otherwise sluggish day started with 6:49 left in the third, as it closed from 5-1 to 5-4. Baly converted on an extra-man opportunity with a one-hopper from just inside the line for his eighth goal of the season. He trails just Buttles and Sprong for the team lead in goals...
