Having gained popularity through their absurd live shows??which usually involve severe inebriation, prevalent nudity, osculation between band members, and nearly every bodily fluid imaginable—it’s not surprising that the Black Lips might find it difficult to convey that same intensity on a studio album. On the band’s latest release, “200 Million Thousand,” they try desperately to be as defiant and rebellious as ever, but what emerges is a stale form of the eccentric garage punk they’ve produced in the past...

When we are all acting through life, figuring out what roles are likely to thrive is central to achieving success. And reality shows offer dozens of controlled experiments in narrative creation. Their outcomes provide troves of data to help us end up as Horatios instead of Hamlets, McCains instead of Giulianis, Jordins instead of Melindas...
