...Reve's castration complex and gender anxiety, within the next few shots we're shown Christine, applying steel-blue nail polish and' gleefully waving a very real pair of scissors. When Reve looks at the beach, he sees a bloody, mutilated man emerging from the waves, taking a quiet walk, he is hit over the head by a dying seagull...

...other songs on this EP really match "Such 'n' Such" for the subtle way in which a nightmare casts a long shadow over playful innocence. Nevertheless, Oh-Ok does succeed in balancing the eerie, depressive tone of such songs as "Choukoutien" and "Elaine's Song" against the quiet, lightweight charm of numbers like "Straight" of "Giddy Up."

At the beginning of this year, the median sales price for an existing house in greater Los Angeles was $114,200-in the nation, it was $71,800. But who can find a "median" home? The other day, on a quiet street in Santa Monica, a FOR SALE sign went up in front of a three-bedroom, one-bath, fake stucco 1940s house on a lot the size of a gas-station road map.
