...share a sensibility that combines seemingly disparate elements of the culture. It's a Marc Jacobs jacket with a $3 vintage dress. It's Christian Louboutin's Trash line--one-of-a-kind shoes with found objects like boarding passes, foreign currency and feathers tucked into a clear outer lining. It's a music collection that includes everything from a vinyl EP of the disco-punk band the Rapture to Whitney Houston singing The Star-Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl. "There's a pride taken in being open minded, whether that's Top 40 music or some obscure German...
This was the plot that Covington's team experimentally thinned in 1993 and 1994, taking care to preserve all old-growth trees. The area now boasts some 60 trees an acre, and as individual trees, they seem far healthier than before. For one thing, the outer coating of their needles has increased in toughness, which helps discourage foliage-eating insects. For another, their nonwoody tissues are producing greater quantities of resin, which affords protection against bark beetles.

On shabby, outer-borough Avenue Q, they sing jaunty little songs about racism (Everyone's a Little Bit Racist) and depression (There Is Life Outside Your Apartment) while falling in love, getting evicted and coming...
...stay here tonight?" After my freak-out subsided, I realized it was a perfect Hefner moment. Through five albums starting in the late '90s, the band constantly blurred the lines between life and art - with songs about love-wrecked, angry misfits living in rented outer London bedsits - and produced some of the funniest, most tender independent music to come out of the U.K. in a decade. Hefner appears to have evaporated, but the creative force behind it, Darren Hayman, has formed the French, which this week releases its debut Local Information, a winning collection of story songs from the miserabilist...
