...style with "Anthropod." This track begins with an interesting array of soft, slow drums, a soothing bass line and quiet samples. The song then releases a sudden onslaught of unconventional guitar riffs and loud synthesized noises, ranging from a ticking clock to the sound of dragging chains. This sudden outburst from apparent tranquility is incredibly frightening, particularly when listened to in a dark room in the wee hours of the morning. The initial effect of this outburst is powerful, as the overwhelming and deceivingly random sounds immediately pump the body with surging adrenaline, much like the opening scene...
...fair, not even Gershwin's legendary ego was big enough to claim more than half the credit for this astonishing outburst of melody. No sooner had Scott Joplin introduced ragtime in the late 19th century than commercial writers were figuring ways to work its kicky, irresistible beat into their songs. By 1911 young Irving Berlin could confidently assert that Everybody's Doing It (Doing It, Doing It) Now--and not just Americans either.

...Though some party insiders are bewildered by it, Gingrich's tirade last week against the President ("This is not about sex... This is about lawbreaking," he said) was viewed by most Republicans as a play to Christian conservatives. And just in case anyone thought this was a passing outburst, he swore never to give another speech without mentioning the Clinton investigations. The Christian conservatives "expect us to say that this kind of conduct is unacceptable," says Senator John Ashcroft, who is hoping his own courtship of that constituency will land him in the White House...
