...last summer with Sub Pop Records, Trapper seems right at home with their record label, as their fourth album “Furr” showcases their talent well.Influenced heavily by nature and their own spirituality, Trapper creates interesting tunes through light guitar chords and multiple keyboards, offering a sound reminiscent of Neil Young with a dash of Bob Dylan. Their album kicks off with “Sleepytime in the Western World,” a song detailing a nightmare about isolation in the occident. Despite the gloomy sentiments of the track, the music itself is strangely happy...
...Institute for Contemporary Art (ICA) was going to turn into Pop Up Debate and ruin the electoral process for me forever. The ICA billed the event as “a live remix of the first presidential debate, morphing words and images into a nonpartisan spectacle of light and sound,” which was not at all appealing to my scarred psyche.Little did I know what I was in for.

Firmly hit her campaign's main themes (Obama equals higher taxes and Washington business as usual). Ably brandished the opposition research on Obama's record and promises...
Showing me to the front gate of his modest central Islamabad home this week, former foreign minister Abdul Sattar visibly shudders as he recalls the sound of the explosion as the Marriott went up. "Horrible," he says. "The whole thing is horrible. You can hardly go out anymore without worrying" There's still lingering hope that the new government can improve security and get the economy humming again. But perhaps the scariest part of comparing Islamabad to Baghdad is the knowledge that things got much worse in Iraq before they got better...
