It sounds part Fisher-Price toy, part tinkly player piano, and looks like the centerpiece of some 19th century saloon. But it comes in handy for the Walkmen, who use it centrally in “We’ve Been Had,” the first song written for Everyone Who Pretended To Like Me and the first single, familiar to some from the Saturn Ion car commercial...

Later, neighbors would recall the blood leaking from the tote-box on the back of Ma Yong's motorcycle, the screams they heard but ignored, and their bewilderment over why Ma scrubbed his floor so often. For most of the past half-century, such activities would have alarmed nosy neighborhood committees or piqued a work unit's interest. No more. In the southern Chinese boomtown of Shenzhen, declared in 1980 as one of the nation's first special economic zones, nearly all the 5 million inhabitants are strangers who arrived from across China only in the past decade.
