...opens the album with heavy synth overlays which compete with a clear melody and upbeat harmonies. The song’s defining musical conflict—between rock and indie pop—is exemplary of a trend that pervades the album. Fittingly, and perhaps with a twist of irony, the song whines, “I wish I could change and make new rules / And love myself better...
...Vancouver, a historic event in which Chinese teams took gold and silver, thus ending a run of 12 Olympic pairs gold medals for the Soviet Union-Russia skating dynasty, I ignored the sheets that detail the names of the moves the skaters would perform. Terms like the double Lutz twist lift, Group 5 toe-lasso lift and fly change foot combination spin are as useful as hieroglyphics.

...story is like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels meets The Golden Girls, with a slightly odd, Germanic twist. Angry about losing $3.5 million in investments last year in the recession, a wily gang of German pensioners were bent on revenge, prosecutors say.

Now the retirees - all over the age of 60 - are on trial...
...hardware in the Italian Alps, he partied harder than he competed and became a cultural pariah. Vonn is the anti-Bode, happily married to her skier husband and coach, dedicated to not disappointing all the mainstream sports fans who give skiing a quadrennial peek.

He came out of retirement this season to give the Olympics another shot and prove to the world he's not that...
...masks perform a hilarious dance that starts off as militaristic marching and, in a matter of minutes, unravels into a raunchy strip tease. Vibrant, elaborate costumes enhance the outrageous acting and compliment the choreography, especially in the show’s final kickline. This kickline brings yet another unexpected twist to the motley crew of crazy characters who inhabit this unconventional town, ultimately revealing a side of the 1950s that, once familiar, is now transported into a new dimension...
