...prayers / Well, I don’t know what it is but there’s definitely something going on upstairs,” he sings. Cave laughs at the euphemism for a sympathetic God, while simultaneously alluding to Lazarus’—or even his own??insanity.The undeniable power of the first song would have been enough to justify the Seeds’ dramatic shift in sound, but the album brandishes ten more tracks burning on the same brand of fuel. “Today’s Lesson,” a road-trip...

...learn from the EU, however, is selflessness. The EU is not just an international organization. It is a supranational organization, which requires members to sacrifice some sovereignty for a share in a bigger pie. That attitude—of deferring to a cause greater than one’s own??is the perfect antidote to a plague of nationalism. Serbs believe that Serbian nationhood took its first steps at the Battle of Kosovo Field in 1389. The ethnic Albanians who now live on that field see it as their home and the Serbs as brutal occupiers. The EU?...
