...pitch without three producers and Auto-Tune. Yet this is the band’s formula, and they follow it well throughout the record. In many ways, the group recalls Huey Lewis and The News circa 1983; rockers uncomfortable with innovation, they stick to tried-and-true trends. They trot out the cut-time bridge, the major key resolution to a minor key tune on “The Take Over, the Break’s Over,” the phaser-distorted vocals on “I’m Like A Lawyer with...
...British Prime Minister Tony Blair, in what was his last appearance at Davos as a head of government, "is in a kind of perpetual global conversation." It's the easiest thing imaginable to make fun of the sometimes self-important men and women with their self-important ways who trot to Switzerland each January.

...answer, which led last summer to the first paper on music theory ever published in the journal Science, is that the cosmos of chords consists of weird, multidimensional spaces, known as orbifolds, that turn back on themselves with a twist, like the Mbius strips math teachers love to trot out to prove to students that a two-dimensional figure can have only one side.

...they are known - made knee-jerk nationalist comments. In fact, the outlet, a tiny, hole-in-the-wall store with no sign outside, has been serving its signature overpriced, coffee-flavored milk to tourists for no less than six years. So why the sudden interest in the issue? Trotting out this lame duck (can ducks trot?) has certainly sparked a rush of internet traffic to Rui's blog, and gotten his post onto the front page of China's most popular blog aggregator, www.blog.sina.com.cn. Regardless of motives or the merits of the argument (as the outlet is so discreet...
