...Furry Animals’ weaknesses into sharper contrast. The group sounded flat and uninterested, a problem exacerbated by the choice of material, with several tracks from their recent sub-par LP “Love Kraft.” The opening salvo of songs all blended together into a morass of undistinguished low-key Beach Boys homage. The Furries’ trademark has always been their eccentricities, but here the music seemed positively average, and the quirky presentation came across as more silly than innovative. While their previously preferred mode of entrance was an honest-to-God tank, this time...
...Pundits pretending otherwise have conveniently short memories of Islamist evolution, or woefully poor understanding of France's urban morass. The decrepit housing projects now hosting pitched battles are case studies in progressive French good intentions gone awry. Initially constructed in the 1960s to replace the squalid Hoovervilles once populated by imported laborers from African nations, the clusters of high-rise, rent-subsidized housing projects lost their early allure as once-abundant jobs vanished, unemployment rose, and incomes plummeted. As France's economy slowed, conditions in the banlieue began to erode, public services were scaled back, and the geographic segregation from...
...North Carolina: ''It's one question if this sort of thing arises during a campaign, and we have to wonder what sort of President this person will be. It's another thing entirely now that he's President, and we know the job he's doing.'' However, the financial morass surrounding Madison Guaranty may be considered far more pertinent because it shows how Clinton runs a government. And in Little Rock in the roaring 1980s, the environment was apparently clubby and murky enough to keep investigators busy for some time to come...
...burden he won't be able to shake until he can end the conflict. All the rhetoric about democracy, the Iraqi constitution--I think the public is skeptical since they don't see a reduction in the insurgency. People have the feeling we're caught in a morass. What can he do? Get out of the Iraq war. It wouldn't hurt to talk to the public in a more candid way, but there has to be substance behind it. Telling the country we'll fight this to the end is boosterism and probably won't help his standing...
...band stepped forward to fill the relative silence with idle chit-chat or weird Canadian jokes. Talk about a momentum killer. The same misfortune seemed to recur after every number, so that the concert felt like a series of song islands suspended in a morass of re-tuning and feedback. But what songs! Forget Boeckner’s head-banging spectacle-mongering; if “I’ll Believe in Anything” doesn’t stir you, you might be dead. The first few bars of the song, which were truly well-positioned last...
