After keyboardist Andrew Moore left the band, the remaining members, brothers Peter and David Brewis, were joined by Kevin Dosdale and Ian Black to record the group’s third album. This change in personnel may be the cause of this record’s shift from the group’s earlier work. Angry, angsty, and attempting to avoid categorization, “Measure” is a 20 track album defined as heavily by its amorphous style and musical outbursts as its invention or ingenuity...

However, that wealth of data is just not realistic, and so, like the rest of us, weathermen do the best they can with what they have. Considering that a microscopic shift in wind direction—in the right context—can drastically change the conditions we experience on the ground, we should instead be impressed with how often they get it right...

"One step forward, one step back is the opposite of a shift," Zawacki said. A report released Tuesday by Amnesty International concurs, documenting stepped-up repression against Burma's ethnic minority groups. "Ethnic minorities play an important but seldom acknowledged role in Burma's political opposition," Zawacki said. Several ethnic minorities have formed their own political parties, or are members...
