...gets weird, as Hunter S. Thompson observed, the weird turn pro. And next year?s race to represent New York in the U.S. Senate seat is shaping up to be one weird puppy. Undeclared candidate Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Tuesday launched his most concerted campaigning tour yet ?- in Little Rock, Ark. As political theater, it gets rave reviews, but the witty jab at carpetbagging has worn a little thin, with Giuliani repeatedly saying things like "I?ve never lived here, I?ve never worked here, I?ve never gone to school here...

More than a few songs on this provocative collection have the power to enchant, yet this band surely...

With its overtly synthesizer- and sample-based sound and relative lack of lyrics, it's not a song that will necessarily appeal to a crossover audience. By choosing it as their lead single, the Chemical Brothers are perhaps making a conscious commitment to doing it on their own terms. Certainly Surrender has other songs more immediately appealing to the casual listener. But "Hey Boy Hey Girl" is an out-and-out dance song, with an eminently catchy hook ("Hey Boy/Hey Girl/Superstar DJs/Here We Go") that launches...
