...David Byrne is anything but a retreat into the past. From the slightly sinister tones of A Long Time Ago and Crash to the rollicking stomp of Back in the Box, Byrne has taken elements from his entire career and molded them into something...
...World Cup also gives the U.S. a reason to clean its streets, improve its public transportation system, and cut down on urban violence. True, our stomachs churn when despotic nations put their best foot forward (while using it to stomp on the populace) for an event like this.

...author, Ono does have talent. Abler at providing catchy musical hooks than at building ballads to emotional peaks, she has assembled (and partly recycled) a likable score free of her trademark screeching.

Like Dr. Doolittle, Pollard can convince animals that would normally be at each other's throats--a two-chord, thumping stomp, say, and its natural enemy, a spiraling, self-involved vocal line--to team up and make nice. And, like Dr. Doolittle, GBV seems out of place in a world that includes compact discs, cable TV, Ministry and Steve Albini...
