...their true style; rather, the widely disparate influences evident on the album are exactly what Soul Coughing needed to gracefully mature from experimenters to true innovators. Soul Coughing finally take full advantage of overdubbing techniques they hesitantly used on their two previous albums to push their music into a realm where electronica, funk, distorted double-voiced lyrics, whistles, duck quacks, heavy bass, strings, weird speakers, guitars and classical piano merge into a miraculous synthesis of noise, beats and poetry. One of the best songs on the album, "Misinformed," opens with funky low toms accented by pounded anvils and noises straight...
...eating clementines when he was in middle school, but unlike a normal sixth grader, he left out the chewing part. He discovered that he could gulp an entire clementine in 8 to 10 seconds. Will started swallowing whole clementines in front of large crowds and then ventured into the realm of oranges. He was successful in three public orange-swallowing appearance but on the fourth attempt he gagged and lost confidence in his ability.

Unfortunately, I'm no psychoanalyst...
...things about Starr's inquiry feel unsound. His indifference to the niceties of nonpartisanship, his way of delivering the evidence without the exculpatory alternatives that prosecutors generally offer would be enough. What's really unsettling is the larger dynamic. At a time when the notion of a protected personal realm is beginning to seem quaint and sepia toned, even people who don't expect government investigators on their doorstep sense that Starr has breached more than just the President's tattered defenses. By its very example, his investigation furthers a truly unwholesome idea: that relations between consenting adults--even juvenile...
