...mimics, though, the Cardigans do use the razor-sharp melodies and propulsive perpulsive percussion awfully effectively. None of the stylish songs on Gran Turismo may have the impact of something truly new, but they do have the impeccable production of Tore Johansson elevating the sounds into a stratosphere of classic pop song delight. Maybe Gran Turismo is just tasty candy, but you won't be getting these sweet, sinister confections out of your teeth any time soon...
Then it hit me sometime last week when yet another cell phone went off during Warren Court lecture. As another gaggle of stylish juniors in tight jeans walked out of Sever, a water bottle in one hand and a cigarette dangling from another, I realized that this wasn't the campus I used to know.

They work all the time. They believe in extraterrestrials. In real life, Mulder and Scully would be weirdos--bookish types with bad skin whom you avoid in the hallways...
