...Nintendo music sensibility, with mixed results. The "Woods" theme from Castlevania II sounds like a Van Halen outtake on speed, as its mathematical, shredding guitar lines lead into glorious faux-hardcore breakdowns. Yet across the genre, cheesy overharmonized lines abound, suggesting the danger of complexity for its own sake as well as the immaturity of adolescent gamers. Again, this critique is nothing new; loftier versions of these accusations have been leveled at Handel and Bach for their own contrapuntal (mis)adventures. These compositions may be seen as pedantic, heavy-handed, passionless or academic. But without the occasional excess of ornamentation...

...President Bush. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, Mr. Canaday clearly enjoys the privilege of sleeping later, of spending less time in transit, of wearing more fashionable, less comfortable shoes—all because he lives in a more convenient location that he did nothing to deserve. For the sake of justice, Harvard needs to treat all students equally. Especially Mr. Canaday, the pompous bastard. It’s so unfair. I propose the construction of a futuristic, spherical, rotating dorm (whose name should include equal quantities of each letter of the alphabet, so all feel equally important) in which...
