...Palladino wrote "Gilmore Girls" (Thursdays, 8 p.m. ET), on the other hand, she "never set out to create an 'alternative' family." But it proved the best vehicle for the story she wanted to tell: "a mother-daughter relationship where they were more pals than mother and daughter." In this sweet hour-long comedy, 32-year-old single mom Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) raises a 16-year-old daughter - you do the math - Rory (Alexis Bledel), who's more reserved and adult than mom. Lorelai, for instance, wears Daisy Duke cutoffs to Rory's first day in private school and jokes...
...week. Will you be invited?...I realized that-gasp-I don't have a "drink." When I go out, I always flounder for a minute before ordering something I don't want (like a Heinken.

But Lipslide's soothing and undeniably cool style and Sarah's sweet but edgy voice are terribly hard to complain about. B+ -Patty...
...Victoria Williams has long been something of a cult item, perhaps esteemed by other artists more than the general public - to wit the compilation "Sweet Relief," which featured her songs performed by an all-star roster of talent, including Pearl Jam and Lou Reed, and handily outsold her own records. On her own, however, the Louisiana-born singer/songwriter's loopy affect has sometimes been a distraction from her considerable talent. So it's everyone's gain that on her latest effort, Williams has settled into a groove that allows her to indulge her mannerisms without losing the thread...
