Indeed, the songs are designed for the ears of the young and not-so. They take their hooks from old ('60s-'80s) pop, filching motifs heard in every retro-rock musical from Grease and The Rocky Horror Show through Footloose and up to Hairspray - all of which have been Broadway shows and (when Hairspray is filmed next year) movies...

Recent research suggests that our college town hosts thousands of tons of chemical toxins and carcinogens...
...data-card subscription for use on laptops, starting in October. "In the long term, as part of an evolution, we'll go to VoIP-enabled over the phone," concedes Dave Williams, chief technology officer at O2.
