...know the limit? MR: It should be credible, and I tried very hard to make at least the possibility of its existence seem real. For example, for Astrophil [a mechanical, magic tin spider that is Petra’s constant companion], I mention how metal amplifies sound, so that Astrophil can actually speak and even shout. He also eats oil. When you are “world building,” people will oftentimes judge how well you built your world. They want to know: Is the culture believable? Does it feel like it has a history? I try very...
...film contains neither plot nor dialogue, and the soundtrack mostly consists of eerie pitches that echo throughout the entire gallery. When a recognizable noise breaks through—whether it be a gunshot or a trumpet announcing the beginning of a march—the sound is surprisingly comforting. At times this coincides with violence in the movie’s remains. When cowboys rush through Native American camps, they leave behind a residue of smudged color. A teepee is gradually erased by remnants of cowboys and horses, paralleling the real devastation in the West while also maintaining a self...

Let me explain.A dish like blisters on my sisters, or tracks from “Surfing” such as “Chicken Titz” or “A Gun On His Hip and a Rose On His Chest,” can sound, well, different to those who haven’t tried them yet. And they are. The title of the latter track—perhaps the least odd of the bunch—is a facade behind which lies a song exclusively concerned with listing the people Megapuss would like...
...After the piece, Previn offered criticism of the performance, with both compliments and suggestions for improvements.

...desire for more government activism is true across the board. All of a sudden, government-provided infrastructure programs - and that's what most of McCain's despised "earmarks" are - don't sound like such a waste of money, especially if they are married to alternative energy sources and conservation (which is why Obama talks constantly about "retrofitting" buildings to conserve energy). All of a sudden, boring bureaucracies like the Securities and Exchange Commission, which have been undermined and underfunded by Republicans, become a crucial bulwark against the rampaging free-market anarchists on Wall Street. This is, as Obama says...
