...jumping up and down on an abandoned trailer in Morocco is what it takes for Blur front man Damon Albarn to find the right sound - so be it. One man's ranting antic is another's creative ritual, and this one turns up as the rhythmic squeaking on the track Gene by Gene from the band's just-released seventh album, Think Tank. But it's also understandable that after 14 years, guitarist Graham Coxon finally decided he'd had enough of Albarn's calisthenics, and left the band in September last year, soon after work on the record began...
...just that. Punctuating the mood like an ice bucket over the head, they remind us that this is the band that wrote Song 2. The most satisfying tracks are those that borrow from the Clash, such as Gene by Gene, though with Albarn's jumping-on-the-trailer thing. The final track, Battery in Your Leg - the only one which features Coxon - is a plaintive ode to the past.

This is what you're wearing." I say to our wardrobe person, "You go with the actors to find the right sweater." It has to be comfortable...
...Towed trailers make up 80% of RVs sold, but the big money is still in motor homes, which account for roughly two-thirds of industry revenue. RVs are made with components from many companies--say, a chassis from Workhorse Custom Chassis, slide-out gear from Actuant and a generator from Onan, a division of Cummins. Back in 2001, RV demand fell so low that some assembly lines and entire plants had to be idled. Industry leader Winnebago of Forest City, Iowa, avoided layoffs with four-day workweeks and a short production halt late in the year. But as demand shot...
