...meat of the album occasionally gets caught up in the experimental flamboyance of Muhly’s compositions, but never strays far from the more immediate poppiness of “Go Do.” “Boy Lilikoi” features fluttering flutes and pounding snare drums which would feel perfectly at home in a symphony, and yet it feels far more down-to-earth than such instrumentals would suggest. The vocals and percussion, which are mixed unusually high throughout the record, dominate Muhly’s complex arrangement and contribute significantly to that unpretentious quality...
...life and music is infectiously apparent. At the microphone, he exudes a witty enthusiasm. At the drums, his joyful energy seems limitless. Eyes closed with a broad smile spread across his face, he throws his arms high in the air before bringing them snapping down on his high-tuned snare. Haynes never stops moving for an instant. During a wonderfully moody rendition of the Cole Porter classic, “My Heart Belongs to Daddy,” he rocketed the intensity through a magnificent arc: starting at a whisper, he rose to a ferocious height that drowned...
...military on Thursday. No, it didn't repeal 1993's "Don't ask, don't tell" law - only Congress can do that.

In addition to no cable or air conditioning, that means a lot of doubles for sophomores and even juniors. Those who are lucky enough to snare singles may have to deal with walk-throughs or lack of common rooms. n+1 housing will almost certainly be reserved for seniors. So, all right, there's a small price to pay for being in the best House on campus...
...Americans were still justifiably jubilant after the race. "We're damn satisfied," says Demong. On Thursday, the U.S. will have one more opportunity to snare that elusive gold, in the individual "large hill" competition. "I'm not surprised," says Tomas Slavik, a Nordic combined athlete from the Czech Republic, of the U.S. performance. "Bill [Demong], Johnny [Spillane] and Todd [Lodwick] came up together as juniors and have been doing this for a long time. America is a force." Now when they trek through Europe on the Nordic combined circuit, the skiers can leave the sleeping bags at home. And they...
