...Wanderley's organ tune "Summer Samba." Laid over that kitschy melody is the weirdest breakbeat you'll ever hear, something like a mixture of a saw and a mattress spring. Fatboy Slim's mix features remixes of songs by famous artists like the Chemical Brothers ("The Private Psychedelic Reel"), Underworld ("Born Slippy") and Art of Noise ("Metaforce"), but to buy the album just for these would be a terrible mistake. To appreciate the mix, you really need to hear it from beginning to end: the way the songs blend into one another is a journey into the fun and eclectic...

Sometimes he's the bad boy: an ex-con luring a respectable pal into the gambling underworld (Rounders) or a neo-Nazi with an impressionable kid brother (American History X).

The tomfoolery continues in New Orleans with a recollection of Mardi Gras indiscretions and a recommendation of where to imbibe on St. Patty...
...Xena is shocked to find out that Chthon, the evil lizard king of the underworld, is paralyzed after being smote by the wrath of Zeus, creator of all. She rushes to his bedside, feeding him the heads of human children until he finally slips into a coma. With an anguished battle-cry, Xena plunges her broadsword into his heart, ending his misery...
