Make Up the Breakdown, the title of Hot Hot Heat’s latest album, is cryptic enough to fuel the overly creative minds of critics and fans alike. It works perfectly as an attack on the sort of musicians who imprint their discs with fabricated tears and scars. And it is a jibe at publicity-hungry artists who spill tales of conflict in the studio to feed the chaos-friendly media...
What did it say? Something about how to reconcile life and death. Libeskind's design for the site, unveiled along with eight other proposals at a press conference in New York City in December, preserves the entire 70-ft.-deep basin as a kind of primordial imprint of the towers. Part burnt offering, part wailing wall, the basin testifies to calamity, but it stands--muscular proof that New York lives and life prevails. Libeskind's plan would surround that pit with a force field of angular towers at street level. The workaday world could carry on its business without trampling...
...robotic paw will scratch and claw at nearby rocks, sniffing for the trace gases, organic compounds and complex chemicals. Soil samples will be dug out using the mole, a robot that can tunnel deep beneath the surface. Any life on Mars, past or present, would leave its chemical imprint - or 'fossil' - inside the rock. Pillinger's team has developed a miniaturized gas analysis package (GAP) to heat up rock and soil in an oven, process the gases released and analyze them using a mass spectrometer (which measures elements in minute quantities). By recording the temperature at which the heated samples...
...lowbrow kicks has gotten nearly impossible. Fortunately the world still has Alan Moore, the English comicbook writer who first achieved stateside acclaim in the 1980s with "The Watchmen." For the last couple of years Moore has been the principle writer of multiple titles under the America's Best Comics imprint of Wildstorm Productions (an imprint of DC Comics, a subsidiary of TIME.com's parent corporation, AOL Time Warner). Out of the various projects, "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," "Tom Strong," and "Top Ten" among them, one title has particularly stood out. "Promethea" has just finished, with issue 23, a remarkable...
...prestigious annual fiction award for Commonwealth writers went to a book published outside the mainstream houses - and outside London. So the man behind Canongate, Jamie Byng, got almost as many accolades as Martel himself. In 1994 Byng, then 26, paid less than $150,000 for the 26-year-old imprint, which had fallen on hard times. Byng's well-to-do family helped him come up with the cash - including step-father Christopher Bland, chairman of British Telecom. Byng, who began his career in 1992 as an unpaid intern at Canongate, was making $12,000 a year doing publicity...
