...decipher the typical Cognac label, join the club. It will help to know, however, that VS is the youngest category, which most connoisseurs skip (or relegate to the punch bowl). V.S.O.P., or Réserve, Cognacs contain spirits at least 41/2 years old.

Their tools are such songs as “Wraith Pinned to the Mist (and Other Games)” (ironically unrelated to wraiths, mist, or games), and the video for the same. Like anything so sugary, it can be both delicious and cavity-inducing...
...this “music video” (read: trailer) for “Seasons of Love,” the hit song spawned by the musical. I’m a fan of “Seasons”—it’s actually quite pleasant, as songs about a lover’s death from AIDS...
