Musically, Eno nudges Coldplay a few steps closer to transcendence not by opening the band up--though he did have the group record in Spanish churches and play with tablas--but by tying it down. Viva la Vida starts with the light pulse of a keyboard and a beep that could be a passing satellite. Everything seems to exist in its own silo until a rising whoosh comes along and the instruments merge into a huge harmonious collision. The track is called Life in Technicolor, and what differentiates it from previous Coldplay attempts to lasso the cosmos (Speed of Sound...

Among the things you will not find in Jhumpa Lahiri's fiction are: humor, suspense, cleverness, profound observations about life, vocabulary above the 10th-grade level, footnotes and typographical experiments. It is debatable whether her keyboard even has an exclamation point...

As for Wu-Tang, it’s not just that they’re artists with a powerful legacy of cultural and artistic relevance—as hip-hop’s uber-group (along with perhaps the Roots, for which Scott Storch played keyboard), they are the spring from which countless fountains of Five-Percenter slang-throwing rappers and chess-playing b-boys flow, not to mention the beginning of my own interest in hip-hop.I spent my first semester at Harvard slightly unmoored, thanks to ill-matched roommates and general freshman-year...

...melodic or satiric heights of the Fields’ magnum opus, it presents an innovative new context for Merritt’s smirking brand of indie pop.Album-opener “Three-Way” jumps off with jangling fury, bursting to life with a shimmering lead keyboard and dueling guitars on a fuzzed-out new-wave riff.
