...world. Twenty-six year old guys who started their own web-sites are now millionaires, at the time when stuff like that in high school was left of the center. Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers is such a perfect example because in high school he was into the trumpet and jazz, and that translated into incredible success for him. In a lot of ways, it is overdone. Like every hot girl now was tall and skinny and dorky in high school. That's definitely overplayed. Like, I was a professional golfer in California when all the cool guys surfed...
Even more troubling, however, is that the killing of this magnitude has become business as usual, especially on the campaign trail. While Texas Gov. George W. Bush and Sen. John S. McCain (R-Ariz.) trumpet this bipartisan massacre--claiming that this places foreign policy "above politics"--their complacency abdicates the opposition party's duty to provide the nation with a choice. Consequently, most important foreign policy issues will be removed from the debate in the upcoming general election...
...That's not to say there weren't some great moments. The musicality and lyrics of "Requiem For A Mouse" were superb and moving live, and near the end of the set the energy picked up somewhat, through such things as the trumpet flourishes on "Hello Little One," a definite lively plus. The side comments from the band on the pleasant-smelling popcorn (and the subsequent audience member who bestowed the band with a tub) and the intra-band bantering were also amusing. However, Luna's set was underwhelming, either because of the too-hip-to-be-wild atmosphere...
...Bennett agrees that he and Warren were utterly consumed by their project. "Every spare minute, if not in the studio, was [spent] thinking about it. I'd be listening to a lecture, and in my mind I'd be, 'Okay, now what's the trumpet going to do?' The week prior [to getting the album finalized] we probably spent 50 or 60 hours in the studio...
...clear funk influence pervades the disc; despite layers and layers of noise, the larger portions of tracks such as "Milk and Honey" and the high-energy first single "Sexx Laws" remain sparse, highlighting the intertwining riffs which pop from guitar to bass to trumpet to sax and back. "Sexx Laws" and its driving horns might come straight from the James Brown songbook; other tunes could back up gangsta rap (though it's unlikely Method Man would tolerate this couplet, from "Hollywood Freaks": "We drop lobotomy beats/Evaporated meats"). The fantastically mellow "Debra" even features an impassioned falsetto vocal delivered...
