She coos, "Somewhere there's mu-u-u-sic," coaxing four syllables out of the word by gliding over them rather than hiccuping through them. She wants the listener to know this is an up-tempo love song, not a stuttering novelty. In the bridge - "There is no moon above, and love is far away too" - she lightly swings "above" and "and love," almost gulping each first syllable.

"Am I disgusted and fed up with the Democratic Party? You better believe it," Colón said...
...piece of Harvard gartbage that he fondly remembers is a sculpture a student produced using cigarette butts and chewing gum. “They were cigarettes she had smoked and gum she chewed to stop smoking. The thing smelled awful; it smelled like a combination of menthol and some kind of chemical weapon,” recalls Pasternack. In a cruel example of Mother Nature not knowing what’s good for her, on the actual day of Pasternack’s show, rain dampened student turnout and forced them to throw out much of the trash art; this...
