...attempt to recapture the glory of 1977, when punk seemed like it just might win. While straight-ahead punk does appear here (the glorious opening suite of "Kill All Hippies," "Accelerator" and "Exterminator"), more important is the group's appropriation of righteous anger. Leftist rage permeates the album, unifying techno ("Swastika Eyes"), hip-hop ("Pills") and guitar noise of the best sort ("MBV Arkestra") with an unmediated rage...

They have become experts of the scam - a scam tainted by blaring techno, unbelievable clubs, beautiful beaches and the stench of Corona. Advice: leave the beer in the red cooler.

Amid the pool aerobics, banana daiquiris and techno renditions of the thong song, FM has picked up some brand-spanking-new trinkets on our spring break rendezvous: nearby ivy league boyfriends, drinks with Mafia-connected priests, protection à la Coppertone, and shiny silver bracelets. But not all silver shines. Spring Break brought about its own risks. We boarded airlines whose insignias were sketched into oak-tag posters. We observed how boring the Midwest really is. We spent quality time in the Square and even...
