...cooperation, ownership and innovation. The nine models Buell sells can be run at any time on its single 50-person assembly line. Each station uses handicraft instead of the automation characteristic of most lines. Small teams promote ownership, and there are no individual supervisors, which cuts out a hierarchical layer. To avoid boredom, each employee is required to know the job ahead of him and behind him on the line and rotates throughout the week. "People come here for a tour and can't believe how little the assembly line is and how the guys are doing so many jobs...
...class in big cities (Christmas in July) and small towns (The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, Hail the Conquering Hero). If appreciation for RockNRolla's entertainment abundance is freighted with disappointment, it's partly because Ritchie's early work has been elaborated on in sharp Brit gangland capers like Layer Cake and The Bank Job.

...noise machines that pump out “nature sounds” all night and really don’t help anyone sleep. But instead of just smashing the thing, Brooklyn duo High Places have found an actual use for one. On their self-titled debut album, High Places layer cross-cultural melodies over naturalistic soundscapes (think rainforest) with surprising success. At first, it may sound like a mess—discombobulated, slapdash, and just plain weird. But High Places aren’t just some randoms who decided to combine their love of global ethnic music with their snoozing...
