...improvisational lines in with Yoshimi’s continued vocal flourishes, still wordless, merely a beautiful crooning melody—this band has clearly come a long way since the guttural growling of their 1986 Anal by Anal 7”. The song begins to build towards its first peak precisely at the song’s halfway point, where all the instruments and background sounds begin to drop away, culminating in a brief standstill, which immediately starts back up again with a calmer and more straightforwardly-jazzy piano and vocal improvisation.

According to the latest figures from the CDC, 7,315 American girls ages 10 to 14 had babies in 2002. Believe it or not, that's good news because it's the lowest level since 1946, down from a peak of 12,901 in 1994.

Among the issues raised when kids have kids are grave medical consequences. Such births are linked to serious health risks for the mothers...

From this vantage point, looking west to flat-topped Mount Tomah, the first peak Caley reached, eucalypt-green ridges roll away like swell on an uneasy sea. The leaves of huge gums shimmer in the wind. It looks just as impenetrable as Caley might have seen it, and just as forbidding. "It looks epic down there," someone mutters...
