...four minutes, every station in the country is going to play that record--probably twice an hour." Who said radio consolidation was bad? Word has it that this Neptunes-produced track from Sweat, one of two albums Nelly will be releasing simultaneously in August, is in the same vein as Country Grammar and Hot in Herre, the rapper's previous summer hits. You can bet it will have a heavily layered but distinctive beat, an instant catchphrase and lyrics about two of Nelly's great musical obsessions: pot smoking and orgies...
...resonance to the spoken parts, the Museum is actually a better setting for the play than the traditional outdoor stage at Salzburg. Since the play, the setting, the costumes, and the organ are baroque, it is only natural that the acting should also be somewhat in the heroic vein. Any attempt at a careful realism would have destroyed the spirit and effect of the play...
...category of peace rumors follows a very realistic vein. Thus, as a current rumor has it, Lloyds of London is betting that there will be peace in six months. Undoubtedly this is literally true.

The nut of their crisis: halfway through a climb, one of the two team members falls and breaks several leg bones...
...such admirable drive and direction, then perhaps that’s an indicator of alignment with the sprawled-on-a-bed, lolling-on-a-futon, singing-along-with-KISS108 studying style. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I would argue (in an admittedly self-justifying vein) that the sight of other people working hard can indeed prove the ultimate de-motivator, robbing us of the ability to feel sorry for ourselves and wallow in the self-induced misery of serial procrastination. The solitary all-nighter-as-penance (with nothing but occasional bonding sessions with the vending...
