...those Savage Garden guys sure know what to sing to make a girl swoon. If you've liked what you've heard from their first album ("Truly Madly Deeply"), then Daniel Jones and Darren Hayes' second is a must-buy, especially for any cheesy romantic. With its honest lyrics and catchy tunes, the latest release by the Australian duo is consistent with the quality of their first album (tell me "I Want You," with its chic-a-cherry-cola random lyrics didn't ingratiate itself into your head). If you've liked them, you'll love them again...
...staging is crisp and energetic, with well-drilled ensemble work and a nifty reproduction of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. James Carpinello, as Tony, doesn't have a voice to swoon over, but he's got the moves, while Orfeh (just the one name, thank you) is a husky-voiced stunner as Annette, the good girl who wants to be bad. There's some grit along with the glitz--a guy commits suicide, a girl is gang-banged in the backseat of a car, and the hero's big victory is spoiled by the fact that he doesn't deserve...
...revamped but just as roly-poly look (an adorable sleekness of sorts) but truly won over by its clean-cut practicality (35 miles to the gallon).

...painful joke: winning it in our lifetime. Morose. A related joke is that the Red Sox have taken years off our lives. Each spring we warn each other against getting wrapped up in their June successes, as September's swoon or October's shortfall will burden the heart unnecessarily. My mother, for one, tries very hard to stay aloof each year. May, June, July she will counsel Dad, me, Kevin and Gail not to care. Dad will have the game on NESN and Mom will emphatically read her mystery novel on the other couch, paying no attention until the final...
