TAPES 'N TAPES THE LOON If you like indie rock, you probably own a dozen albums just like this Minneapolis, Minn., band's taut, lo-fi debut--and you will want this one too. The lyrics are from the Pavement school of abstraction ("Kelly the insistor/ Your brother is a blister"), and lead singer Josh Grier has the same dry, almost cracking voice as David Byrne.

...sales to more than $1.1 billion since General Mills acquired the U.S. licensing rights to the brand in 1977. Over 10 years, Yoplait, with sister brand Colombo, has jumped from 23% of the $3 billion U.S. yogurt market to about 38%. A powerhouse for General Mills, based in Minneapolis, Minn., Yoplait is rivaled only by the cereal unit (22% of Big G's $11 billion in sales, with such brands as Cheerios and Cocoa Puffs), but yogurt is growing faster. Sales of Yoplait's Whips! line alone are up 30% and will exceed $100 million this year...
