Beck’s typically nonsensical vocals this time have a dark tinge to them, spinning images of our techno-junk lifestyle that are complemented by the digital effects on almost every track. Lines like “We’re all pushing up a tin-can mountaintop” are indicative of Beck’s jaded vision; he’s unhappy about something, but he’s too oblique to let on exactly what...
...this past summer by the Cambridge Arts Council (CAC) for the purpose of decorating the outer and inner walls of the pool.A bus shelter was also commissioned for the stop near Russell Field on Rindge Avenue and a series of rose and clear glass panels, covered by a corrugated tin roof, were put in place by minimalist sculptor Taylor Davis.Two weeks after it arrived in the neighborhood, the shelter was smashed, leaving marks the size of bullet holes in the cracked panels.In the early 1990s, Israeli artist Mierle Laderman Ukeles designed a large sculpture of a throne, accompanied...

Mostly, the movie is a tin of red herrings. That's particularly true of the triangular relationship between the cops and Kay. She, too, has been sexually abused and the movie seems to want to say that violent crimes against women were-are-more common than we like to pretend, which is doubtless true, but essentially irrelevant...
