...while Cee-Lo warns, “Run away / Run for your life!” Unfortunately, the song’s flat production detracts from any sense of urgency. The most amusing track by far is “Whatever,” a satire of teenage emo-punk. In his best impression of a whiny 14-year-old, Cee-Lo delivers ridiculously blunt lines like “I don’t have any friends at all / ’Cause I have nothing in common with y’all.” It takes...
...attackers, catalogued as "anti-emos," include some from other urban tribes such as punks, metallers and cholos but many are just ordinairy working-class teenagers and young men. They deride the emos for being posers who are overly sentimental and accuse them of robbing from other music genres. With roots in Washington, D.C., in the 1980s, emo bands play a style of rock that borrows much from punk and indie rock. They focus on exploring their emotions (hence the name) with a particular dwelling on typical teenage depression...
...Like Humphrey Bogart, Widmark started in movies as a thug and only gradually graduated to hero status. He was a murderously jealous cafe owner in Road House and a racist punk, spilling out vile epithets to noble young black doctor Sidney Poitier, in No Way Out (where he has a wonderfully sniveling final scene).

Sometimes he was the lowlife who found someone even lower, as in Don't Bother to Knock, where he gets tangled with crazed babysitter Marilyn Monroe...
...this paralyzing force with a punchy, incisive style.The prose alternates colloquial language with glamorized descriptions of the urban, partially adopting the interior monologue of each character. This strange fluctuation between the omniscient, descriptive voice and the informal internal voice can occur even in the same sentence. When the muscular punk Ponyboy rides his bike through the desert, Bock welds the character’s vocabulary together with an acute sense of the details of Las Vegas’ man-made oasis of asphalt and neon: “Ponyboy’s style was hauling ass, blazing through the smoldering...
...Gories, the Dirtbombs have continually proven they can use excess to their advantage. They have been known to record with two bassists and two drummers, adding an extra dose of raw power to Collins’s original compositions, and their wide catalog of cover songs ranges from punk to funk. “We Have You Surrounded” finds the Dirtbombs combining all their musical strengths onto one disc. Soulful second track “Ever Lovin’ Man,” with its Motown-esque background vocals, harkens back to their widely-praised 2001 covers album...
