...strikingly toned down version of 1994’s “Crazy.” She plays a department store worker who hides under the cashier during close-down to let her boyfriend in after-hours for a night of G-rated megastore fun. The video is a mash-up of scenes from the couple’s crazy night in various departments and shots of DeGraw and company singing and performing beneath a garish chandalier while constantly smiling. The intended concept of the video, in my best judgment, is “Gavin DeGraw is doing a girl...

...Afterparty Babies,” Canadianproducer, DJ, and rapper CadenceWeapon (a.k.a. Rollie Pemberton) demonstrateshis talent for layering multiple beatsand lyrics with wit and self-assurance.For those who prefer lyrically sophisticatedrap music to high-end production,“Afterparty Babies” is a must.

They call their sound...

...broader contours, Cloverfield evokes real-life horror. The Wall Street area already had its monster mash, on 9/11. So there's no way you can watch downtown panic and crumbling towers without it seeming a bit... familiar.
