...scene - think of the pashmina. But now, the baguette's sell-by date has come. And to take its place is a tough-looking rival that could eat the baguette for breakfast. The new bag of the moment is made of black leather and covered in non-precious metal studs. It's more than just part of the punk revival seen on runways for spring.

The best thing one can say about the third track, “V.I. (The Last Words She Said Before Leaving)” is that it is dull and repetitive. This...
