...Pan-European polyglot poppers Stereo Total seem to always summon the same images in American minds: trendy coffee bars, tightly-dressed Euro hipsters, neon lights against shadowy backgrounds. It’s certainly the style their album covers more or less convey, especially prominent on their new Sub Pop debut Do The Bambi, on whose cover a green deer logo and the album’s title illuminate the faces of the band from above...

On Wednesday, SEPA vice director Pan Yue announced that it had successfully halted construction on 30 major projects, including the massive Xiluodu Dam on the upper Yangtze River, all of which had apparently failed to carry out legally mandated environmental-impact assessments before building. Major power plants have long been dismissive of environmental regulations: the China Three Gorges Project Corp., which is responsible for the $5.3 billion Xiluodu Dam, initially defied SEPA's order to stop building on Jan. 18?a breach for which the agency could do nothing more...
