...RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE The Battle of Los Angeles (Epic). Because Tom Morello--who can make his guitar sound like a harmonica, a pair of turntables or a street uprising--is the most thrilling guitarist in rock today. Because rapper-singer Zack de la Rocha mixes poetry and polemics into song lyrics that would do Chuck D or Bob Dylan proud. Because in a year in which a riot of rockers copped beats from hip-hop, no other band made the rap-rock union resonate with such ferocity and intelligence...

Our eldest, Emily, is blissfully inclined toward reading, crafting and almost any do-it-yourself project. Six-year-old Zack is apt to need outward stimulation--like playing arena football in the car. And Abby, our toddler in tow, is still of an age when keeping the eyes busy and the stomach full is the best you can reasonably hope for when sleep won't come...
