Parents criticized the Cambridge public schools’ controlled choice system, a placement program that attempts to increase diversity based on socioeconomic status rather than race, in a hearing last night. At the meeting, held by the school community relations subcommittee, parents pleaded for more access to information and a more humanized approach.

"Our mums are twins," adds Rab, without clarifying further. Allan's feelings about this division inform the album's haunting, hymn-like final track Ice Cream Van, a paean to a better place, a world free of sectarianism and hate. It's hard to imagine any other trendy indie band credited with nailing the zeitgeist writing something as bold as a message. But Glasvegas leave us with...
