...someone unfamiliar with the Wesley Willis canon, it may seem strange that this 350-plus pound, paranoid schizophrenic who sings such timeless classics as “I Whupped Batman’s Ass,” “Rock and Roll McDonalds” and “Cut That Mullet” easily sold out T.T. the Bear’s on Friday, Sept. 14. Willis is, by any reasonable measure of musical talent, completely talentless. The songs—all of approximately the same length and same musical infrastructure, consist of strung-together expletives and choruses...
...dropped anchor in a secluded cove and stretched out on deck to watch meteors flash across the night sky. Out in the bay, lights from squid fishers bobbed on the horizon like fallen stars. Behind us, moonlit rock giants towered over the still waters and silver beaches in their timeless repose. In the dark silence, Ha Long Bay was holding onto its beauty...
...1930s, '40s and '50s are still in production at the Fritz Hansen furniture company (www.fritzhansen.com), based in the Copenhagen suburb of Allerod. The firm manufactures about 200,000 chairs a year from original designs. Klint's original Church chair, designed in 1936, still enjoys robust sales.

...contrast, the "American Pies" are about a group of buddies, and said buddies are essentially crowdless. Finch is a scrawny proto-intellectual who wears black Converse sneakers (timeless badge of the high school rebel) and speaks as if he wants to be Jeremy Irons when he grows up. Chris Kleins lacrosse player, "Oz" Ostreicher, not only doesn't want to beat Finch up; he actually appears to like Finch and regard him as a bro. The other dudes are middle-of-the-road types who don't seem particularly interested in sports other than dessert-humping but who show...
...great-aunts at Christmas. Guess again. Fashion eats its young. And the legends live on and on - treated respectfully until they choose to retire. There's even a special lexicon used to review collections of the old masters, no matter how out of date ("elegant!"), out of touch ("timeless!"), or dowdy ("refined!"). This discrepancy was blatantly apparent at the recent haute couture shows in Paris. The big show of the season should have been Givenchy's. It was 28-year-old Welshman Julien Macdonald's turn to try to revamp the legendary house after enfant terrible Alexander McQueen quit...
