...Wild Mood Swings, one wonders why it took Robert Smith and company four years to write nine songs that sound exactly the same. Considering speculation that Bloodflowers may be the Cure's oft-threatened last album, it seems that this droning noise could possibly be the sound of ancient gothy New Wavers finally boring themselves to death. As a Cure fan, I show no restraint in tapping my inner reservoirs of bitterness, misery and melodrama to moan: believe me, it's that bad. The End is Near (But Not Yet) seems to be the principle theme of the obsessively fatal...
Deep in the heart of high-tech, Mach-speed America lies a lovely, leafy spot where more than 10,000 people gather every summer to enjoy a leisurely, decidedly low-tech form of entertainment: the ancient art of storytelling. Dr. Stuart King is one of them. Eight years ago, the busy physician was reluctant to "give up" two whole days to accompany his wife and kids to the festival.

...Ruins are typically reserved for tourists or for nobody, either ancient, splendid, worthy of a postcard or uncelebrated, accidental, vacant. The concept of "ruins for the present" is not new--Robert Smithson made a career of dropping truckloads of dirt onto houses and the like. But for all the time we spend walking around in built spaces, we rarely get to see them once they've been abandoned. Emotionally, "Crawl Space" combines the curiosity and trepidation of some kid as he pokes around a dilapidated house with a deep sense that we've already been in this house forever...
...write this as a warning to all eloquent, drunken lovers. My window opens onto a particularly busy path circling Lowell House and facing the Fly. By construction that would make the sonic ancient Egyptians proud, conversations spoken at ordinary volume drift upward with perfect clarity. Our protagonists can hardly guess they're involving an entire Lowellian wing in their declarations...
