...third full-length album beautiful, Japan’s Tomoyuki Tanaka creates a sound most easily described as souped-up Muzak with a bass line. The international DJ blends such eclectic styles as disco, soul, bossa nova and house dance into his synthetic music which induces finger or foot-tapping and head-bobbing without causing any abuse to the ear. Tomoyuki shows jazz influences in his tracks “God Save the Mona Lisa” and “I’m Still a Simple Man,” on which he received help from respective legendary...
Despite the diversity of the album’s influences, there is not a great deal of variety within or among his songs. Most tracks find a particular musical phrase to repeat for extended periods of time. Even the most pleasant of melodies becomes grating when played at such length without change. Salvation from the repetition usually arrives in the form of a pseudo-bridge of 70s-esque strings, but often this gesture is too little too late. Tracks such as “Beautiful Days” and “Love is Psychadelic” attempt to hide...
While completing a creative English thesis in no way promises literary success, or even entrance into a formal writing program, it does allow students to work one-on-one with a distinguished author as well as get a book-length work finished, and polished, before graduating from college.

If the Iranians get their way, it will be a dark day both for Israelis--who will face increasingly professional terrorist attacks--and for Palestinians already suffering under a heavy-handed Israeli backlash. Competition between...
...this is a show about more than Jackie's trademarks: the boxy jackets and pillbox hats, the three-quarter-length sleeves, the lace mantillas, the overblouse dresses and the sleeveless A-lines. It's also the story of a consummate act of imagemaking. As a Bouvier, she was born with a taste for all things French. By her 20s, that meant anything by Hubert de Givenchy, the French disciple of Balenciaga. Givenchy had dressed Audrey Hepburn in sleek, clean lines that were the last word in mid-'50s modern, a style Jackie adopted as her own. But by 1960, John...
