...Mercedes were formed from the breakup of indie-rock band Braid; in fact, but for the swapping of one guitarist, the line-up remains exactly the same. Their sound has changed just as little, so anyone who used to swoon or mosh to Braid can look forward to further bruised foreheads under Mercedes’ aegis. The songs on Everynight Fire Works are so solid and businesslike that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between them (at least for the uninitiated): The album is a barrage of dentist-drill distorted guitars marshalled by driving drums that border on militaristic...
...forge a deep friendship, and a man who tests that bond. This film, though, is so saturated in the sad glamour of their love that style becomes substance. The moving camera, the gorgeous homes and gardens of Suzhou, the handsome people with complex urges?they all seem to swoon in the telling of a story about Jade (radiant Japanese star Rie Miyazawa), a Kunqu Opera singer who marries into a noble house and falls into a near-lesbian relationship with her new master's mannish cousin Rong (Joey Wong, the premier ghost diva of '80s Hong Kong cinema).

It's not clear what form that might take: the IRS could simply send out rebate checks, or, even quicker, the government might lower the amounts automatically withheld from workers' pay. Rebates would probably be treated as taxable income, which would reduce both their economic clout and public relations appeal. Evenly divided among the country's 200 million adult taxpayers, they could...
Krispy Kreme's doughnuts have outperformed microchips, routers and 10-gigabit lasers since the Winston-Salem, N.C., chain went public at $21 a share last April--just as the NASDAQ started its swoon. The company has become so hot since the offering that it plans to quit NASDAQ in May for the industrial-age New York Stock Exchange...
