...seems to be moving away from their roots and toward a simpler future; instead of growing they’ve regressed. “Switched On,” for example, is supremely listenable, a song for driving down wooded roads at twilight, windows open, singing casually. The drums start off naked, soon clothed by the high, sweet vocals: “I’ve put on something you can’t switch off”—lyrics vague but cemented in prepositional wordplay.

As the only major survivor of Seattle grunge and 90s mainstream rock to resist implosion, the band, still based in Seattle after all these years, appeared anachronistic, past-it, irrelevant.

Bicycle scouts reported police locations to the marchers, who had swarmed around an unmarked police car just a few blocks after their start...
More worrying still is that lessons appear not to have been learned. Almost two years after Brazil was awarded the right to host the 2014 soccer World Cup, work has yet to start on its 12 stadiums. A proposed bullet train linking São Paulo and Rio is supposed to be operational in time for the tournament, but the official tender has not been issued yet, and even politicians are now admitting it could be late...
