...reporter at a major New York daily. An orphan with no one in the world except her fiancé, she goes looking for him after he disappears on assignment in Iceland. Her search for him leads to a series of bizarre but plausible misadventures, culminating in an excruciating spine operation in a Reykjavik hospital, where she is mothered by a kind surgeon (played with quiet warmth by Julie Christie). Fully recovered from her injuries, she sets out to find the remote village where her boyfriend was last seen alive, only to be drugged by villagers and left naked...
...British space-rock-blues band has twice ducked the “difficult third album,” releasing an EP (Machismo) and an oddities album (Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline). After an 18-month hiatus, In Our Gun is a spine-tingling return to the scene. A supremely confident and playful album, it reworks Gomez’ signature bluesy sound without sacrificing any of their trademark oddball goofiness...
...drugmakers announced that the powerful osteoporosis medicine Fosamax could be taken once a week instead of once a day. Once a year is even better, and early reports suggest that a yearly, five-minute IV infusion of a relative of Fosamax, called Zometa, may increase bone density of the spine by 5% and of the hip by 3%. So far Zometa doesn't seem to have the side effects of Fosamax, which include abdominal pain and nausea. However, 10% of patients may experience flulike symptoms for a couple of hours after treatment...
...ability to conjure vast cohesive soundscapes using only his voice. During this performance, you could only marvel at the energy and manic zeal that goes into evoking and faithfully capturing the spirit of the original film in seven minutes. His wicked witch, right down to the laugh is a spine-tinglingly faithful recreation. It is, in a woefully inadequate word, breathtaking. And that’s just when he sings alone...
...signals a return to hip-hop’s roots, situating the fringe art of turntablism within a more immediate song-based context. For the most part, this yields fabulous results. The first four tracks are unstoppable. After a dizzying intro, rapper Large Professor spits raw battle salvos over spine-cracking drums and a sick guitar lick on “XL,” followed by a whirling display of beat juggling and a multi-movement beatbox piece. The guest emcees are also a major step up from their previous album, featuring the inimitable Biz Markie...
