...herself guests in minor roles on some of the juiciest, most attractive songs, like the sweet and sour “Traffic,” which revolves around an introspective bass riff and heart-on-sleeve lyrics by Bitch: “All we have is our love and our guts, baby.” The melody takes a back seat for much of the album though, in favour of repetitive bass lines and vituperative rap. Folk rap has becoming increasingly popular since tracks like Everlast’s “What it’s Like...

...perhaps, you detect the tramping of sour grapes. To read a piece about online reviewers by a critic who has done most of his work in print is to hear the roar of a dinosaur, noisy but anachronistic, trying to drown out a freeway full of SUV?s. And I admit this: I share your cynicism. General-interest magazines like TIME have reduced the space devoted to reviews and expand their entertainment "news" coverage.

...couple's innocence, which the court refused to let him present. Even the shareholders who opposed Jeppesen believe the Danes did nothing wrong. "They've just wandered into the threshing machine through sheer inattention and ignorance," says Gary Shugg, who helped orchestrate the financing deal with Jeppesen that went sour. The sapphire mine is shut and in the hands of the Lao government, Jeppesen and Bruns remain in hiding and investors hold stock in a company that has no access to its only asset. The Danes' three children, living in Brisbane with their grandparents, can't understand why their...
