Their new album is a collection of 12 songs, each written by Jones and Hayes. Recorded in San Francisco and New York (as opposed to the one-bedroom setup in rural Oz of their first album), Affirmation leans towards slow tunes, which show off the clever, real-life related lyrics and dynamic vocal harmony of the duo. The instrumental work is awesome as well, especially where the beat picks up in some of the faster dance songs...
...Dallas, Stewart's private jet went astray on a ghostly journey that ended some 850 miles to the northwest. The jet, carrying Stewart, his agents Robert Fraley and Van Arden, golf-course designer Bruce Borland and the jet's two pilots, plowed nose-first into a farm in rural Mina, S.D. The crash left their remains entombed in a 30-ft. by 40-ft. pit of muddy pasture. "It's like an archaeological dig," said Bob Benzon, the National Transportation Safety Board investigator leading the recovery. "We have to go down layer by layer." So far, the digging...

As a result, the ruling party has long been the urban- and military-friendly National Advancement Party. While one U.N. peacekeeper monitoring the elections said the elections took place in a "climate of fear," a record number of voters...

This true tale might seem to have all the narrative momentum of a lawnmower pulling the Cheops pyramid up an Alp. It does move, thanks to the script by John Roach and Mary Sweeney. It keeps finding new ways to make rural decency dramatic. But the soul of the film is in Farnsworth's eyes--great watery repositories of wisdom and regret. "The worst part of bein' old," he says, "is rememberin' when you was young." Alvin's tragic memories give perspective to the triumph of his trek, even as Farnsworth's weathered brilliance makes this movie...
