...from their 2008 breakout album “Visiter,” from a recent Miller Chill commercial. Aptly, their echoey new album, “Time to Die,” sounds like they recorded in a beer bottle. The indie folk-pop duo’s signature spare sound, with drums and guitar receiving equal billing, have made “Visiter” a standout in a line of releases from other over-arranged indie darlings. Their percussive approach added a twist to a pleasant, but unoriginal, pop formula. Unfortunately, their new album deviates from their previous...
...nigh impossible to win an election while under indictment. After four years, DeLay still doesn't have a court date. His consulting business is not so consuming that he can't spare five hours a day to dance. So might this be a new chapter for the Hammer? "Since I left Congress, I've gone through several new chapters," he says. "I have no idea what my future holds." Perhaps he just wants to get on the floor again and fight for something.

It might be a good time to again call attention to the title; Hoffmann offers succinct summations, highlighting the most important images as the narrator perceived them, not in the way that the form of the conventional novel dictates. Each sentence (only...
...Presidents are less famous or notorious than Chávez, perhaps because the first half has conditioned us to a rigorously genial treatment of them. Lula da Silva brags that Brazil paid off the IMF debt and that the country now has a $260 billion surplus. (Irmao, can you spare us a dime?) Morales, the first indigenous President of Bolivia, says he considers himself "less a President than a union leader." The Illinois-educated Correa says smilingly that the U.S. can again have a military base in Ecuador "if Ecuador can have a military base in Miami...
