...Walter Wanderley's organ tune "Summer Samba." Laid over that kitschy melody is the weirdest breakbeat you'll ever hear, something like a mixture of a saw and a mattress spring. Fatboy Slim's mix features remixes of songs by famous artists like the Chemical Brothers ("The Private Psychedelic Reel"), Underworld ("Born Slippy") and Art of Noise ("Metaforce"), but to buy the album just for these would be a terrible mistake. To appreciate the mix, you really need to hear it from beginning to end: the way the songs blend into one another is a journey into...
...musical display took place on Friday night, when Reel Big Fish opened up for headliners They Might Be Giants in one of MIT's athletic buildings. Reel Big Fish, however, seemed to steal the show, as fans moshed and crowd surfed to their typically energetic songs like "Sell Out," "Somebody Hates Me" and their popular cover of A-Ha's "Take On Me."

He travels forward with his eyes glued to the rearview mirror. His preferred modes of spectating are historical--the highlight reel; the classic NFL film with its sonorous, Homeric narration; and, most perfectly, the instant replay, which, of course, instantly historicizes the present...
...Cancel your appointment with the funeral director, to start. The threat from inflation will moderate. I may reel from Greenspan's potion for a while, but I'm sure I'll feel much better later in the year. The next few months in the market could be rocky, though. I'd find it soothing if folks lightened up on their speculative investments, like Internet stocks, and rotated into parts of the market that present better value: some banks and financials and lots of small-company stocks. Some foreign shares might be a good choice. And don't rule out bonds...
