...paper, the Aterciopelados don't always sound promising. In a given song, the band might combine pop with Andean pan flutes and less-than-subtle lyrics reminiscent of protest songs from the '60s. Their newest album, entitled Oye, has an anthem called, literally, Protest Song (Canci?n Protesta in the original Spanish). Other lyrics tend towards love and karma and the cosmos. It sounds like it could be the worst combination of the politically trite with the New Age - but it's not. The Aterciopelados have been the critical darling of the rock en espa?ol scene for good reason. And their...
...worldlier south. Housed in a crumbling former state schoolhouse near the Workers' Stadium, the striking, design-driven watering hole and accompanying restaurants (Lan Na Thai and the Indian Hazara) cost $1.9 million to develop. As in Face Shanghai (there are also Face bars in Jakarta and Bangkok), eclectic pan-Asian chic is the order of the decorative day, incorporating a controlled mishmash of antiques and artworks from across the region.

Pan plays the erhu, a similar Chinese string instrument, in the Harvard Chinese Music Ensemble.Zhou readily admits to being far from a professional level, but he says he simply enjoys playing his beloved instrument. “When I play...
...unpleasantly anachronistic in her revisionism. Seamlessly integrating 80s post-punk in the most sublime of ways, there’s something undeniably lovely in her resuscitation of a dusty historical narrative, resisting stuffy reconstruction in favor of dreamily imaginative detail. Though ostensibly starring Jason Schwartzman in a delightfully dead-pan turn as the blundering Louis XVI, and the luminous, ethereal, and well cast Kirsten Dunst (reuniting with the director after their collaboration on “The Virgin Suicides”), special mention must be given to the film’s unbilled supporting standouts: Versailles itself...
