...Gavin Bryars Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet (Point Music). Take one old derelict singing a strophe of a religious anthem in a raspy voice. Add one avant-garde composer (Bryars) accompanying an hour-long loop of the man's song with a kaleidoscopic underpinning of strings, winds and horns. Mix in Tom Waits for a closing 10-minute duet of almost mystic poignancy. The new-music album of the year...
...including the search that ended with the Roberts pick. According to a presidential adviser who has been briefed on the chronology of the decision, senior adviser Karl Rove was less involved than he is in most major decisions. Some conservatives speculate that Rove was distracted or out of the loop because of his possible legal jeopardy in the CIA leak case, but White House officials reject that notion.

A lot of Exodus youths seemed captives of their Christianity, caught in a hermetic loop of lust and gay sex (or masturbation), followed by confession and grim determination. Wilson is different--calmer, more convincing when he says he communes with God. He doesn't deny that he is still sometimes attracted to men, but he doesn't seem to be struggling. "I don't think...
