...captain is back, this time online as one of the top features offered by a new environmental website, the Mother Nature Network (MNN). Launched by a group of green Atlantans, including Chuck Leavell, a part-time tree planter and full-time keyboardist for the Rolling Stones, MNN is the latest website to try to ride the environmental wave online.

...whatever fetish I decide to cast you in.” The Heavy sound most musical on their more acoustic tracks, like “Set Me Free,” with its groovy beats and yearning demands for liberation. The rich backup vocals provided by keyboardist Hannah Collins make one wish her voice played a larger role on the album. Swaby seems to be singing directly to the listener when he asks, “Remember how we were kids when we were high on haze? We never knew about the way things were.” With...
