...Having Bliss become a queen of the Austin roller derby circuit certainly wasn't on Brooke's agenda either. But while mother and daughters are enjoying a girls' outing to a clothing/head shop in Austin - "pretty vases!" Brooke says approvingly to a case full of bongs - a trio of tattoo-ed and pierced women roll in on skates, mugging maniacally as they pass out flyers for the next weekend's derby. Most teenage girls would have taken refuge from these R. Crumb-style creatures behind the Doc Martens display but not Bliss. She is enraptured. (See the top 10 female...
...while HEALTH has plenty of promise, the band has yet to discover how to make a consistently good album. That is not to say that the traditional new wave and shoegaze traits aren’t visible in “Get Color,” their sophomore studio outing. The indelible stamp of My Bloody Valentine can be heard in Jake Duzsik’s vocals. Whereas Kevin Shields and Bilinda Butcher’s heavily dubbed harmonies were central to that band’s sound, Duzsik attempts to recreate that kind of sound individually, singing between tenor...
...standout in a line of releases from other over-arranged indie darlings. Their percussive approach added a twist to a pleasant, but unoriginal, pop formula.

Yet the greasy, finger-staining bar-food staple is only 45 years old. The Buffalo wing was invented in 1964, which makes it younger than Demi Moore, Johnny Depp - and even Barack Obama. On Sept. 5, Buffalo, N.Y., will hold its fourth annual National Buffalo Wing Festival...
...part because his ex-wife Julia Thorne, Vanessa's mother, died of cancer in 2006. (Walking back to his office from the Senate floor recently, Kerry held forth at length about the coming nuptials and his hopes of persuading his daughter to do a Red Sox bridal-party outing.) Kerry isn't utterly changed, of course. He retains the sometimes aloof bearing that made him a hard sell to some voters in 2004. He still likes to slip away to play classical guitar. But he can also now acknowledge that he has learned from his mistakes. "I know what...
