...last track on the five-song EP, “DANCE,” is unsurprisingly the most movement-inducing song on the album, though designed for a particularly spastic dancer—rapid, complex drums combine with the unabashedly digital cut-up of sound clips alongside the air intakes of a beatboxer and poppy organ melodies contrasting with atonal and arrhythmic guitar riffs. The song features possibly the first awesome beatboxing-breakdown in the history of music, and continually eludes predictability with vicissitudes of style and form, quiet regular parts followed by loud irregular parts, and a who-would...

The song “X-Polynation” shows the potential to be a people-mover with its initial driving beat and idiosyncratically spastic flute, but crashes down as the band takes a trip to New York with their generic imitation-Rapture-or-other-New-York-Hipster-Band vocals; the mediocre rock tune, “Collect the Diamonds” is annoying way past the initial irritating line in which a DC band sings about people...

Napoleon Dynamite, the offbeat comedy about a set of self-assured nerds at an Idaho high school, concludes with a hilariously spastic dance number. Napoleon and his posse might describe it as "sweet"--maybe even sweet enough to see again. But anyone who goes to the movie a second time will see something else too. When the indie film, which opened in New York City and Los Angeles on June 11, expands to 300 screens across the country this Friday, it will have a 5-min. epilogue--a brand-new scene, shot just four weeks...

Busta is one of the more recognizable rappers around, with a lackadaisical, often humorous rapping style. He began his career with underground darlings Leaders of the New School, with whom he released two albums. As a solo artist he hit it big in 1996 with the spastic “Woo-Hah!! Got You All in Check,” whose oddly disconcerting video found regular rotation...
