...horrible. They were torturing and killing people all around me. The Islamic world has gone crazy." That hasn't dimmed his affection for Morocco, or for extolling the good life there. "My intention was never to write a book like Peter Mayle's," he says. "But I feel sad when I see friends back home trapped in their lives and their mortgages." To further encourage defections, he is writing a sequel to the Casablanca book, provisionally titled In Arabian Nights and including his experiences in other Moroccan locales. In truth, Shah's tales of hair-raising hardship may deter newcomers...
Scotland's most adorable rock collective continues to mess around with disco rhythms and glam-rock guitar licks, but the best songs on its sixth album are the ones that come on the softest. Dress Up in You is built on the same blueprint--sad piano, whispered Stuart Murdoch vocals and a gradual revelation that the song is sung from a female perspective--as many of B&S's earlier hits, while Another Sunny Day takes a pickup soccer game ("I saw you in the corner of my eye on the sidelines/ Your dark mascara bids me to historical deeds...

The singer would be his "sweet remedy," but the sad truth she tells us is that even though he says she's "so lovely, she could get a guy high," there's no rescuing him from his despair. In the title track, we meet a physicist and the lover who doesn't speak his language of numbers and infinity...
...sad because when I first started making movies, when I made Raiders of the Lost Ark, we stayed in theaters for a year. But now you're a hit and it stays in theaters for three months. I think there's such an appetite for different forms of entertainment, we can't depend on a big motion picture audience who isn't distracted by listening to your ipods, playing your interactive video games, watching television, going to concerts or just going to a restaurant and talking. People are just impatient with the distance between a movie coming to your local...
