HOWL HOWL GAFF GAFF Telling everyone you're a sucker for love without being extremely irritating is a tough trick, yet this emotional Stockholm band finds a way to pull it off. Singer Adam Olenius has a gift for melodies and an earnestness that recalls the Cure's Robert Smith, but he's also got enough self-respect to know when he's on the verge of bathos and is smart enough to avoid it, as on the soaring Very Loud: "I wanna build buildings high for you/ But the costs, my God, the costs I can't afford...
Doesn't seem hospitable to label a Texan of some standing a sucker in a small western town--a small western town with an airport, at least one $46 million ranch and visits from Cher--where his ski-happy family has been oiling the local economy since he was a kid. But Massarano doesn't mind. "I've been called worse things, being from Texas," chuckles the 50-year-old, who searched Pitkin County for years before finding the deal of his downhill dreams in the sprawling Hyatt, where the ghosts from bacchanals at the torn-down Continental Inn still...
Perhaps none of the dread offspring archetypes--the thumb sucker, the binky addict, the colicky screamer--is more feared than the bad sleeper, and parents will try any formula that offers the prospect of some rest.

There are a few fantastic lines, like when West creepily whispers, “While you’re watching, WATCH HIM,” or when he acutely points out that you can’t smoke weed if you don’t have cash...
...asked about the voluminous Star Wars novels, comics, and video games, so loved by the fan community, he claims that they’re “not something that we track all that often.”So, if he’s not a slick, Hollywood soul-sucker, and he’s not a rabid fanatic, what sort of species is McCallum? He’s a rare chimera: someone who fervently believes that the films are legitimate art, but that their artistic merit comes from the very flashiness and simplicity for which they are so often...
