...Live is considered by some to be a “living legend,” a modern maestro who scratches and spits peerless poetry over his own beats. Though his virtuosic debut The Best Part was shelved indefinitely by record companies, All Of The Above may be his magnum opus. It is a consummate progression of the Native Tongues movement (led by De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest) that was eclipsed in the early ’90s by gangsta rap. The album oozes with the legacies of jazz, funk and soul. Like Common?...
...also writes "That Old Feeling," a weekly column that spotlights, and often celebrates, the rich popular arts and entertainments of the 20th century. Last week Corliss gave out the Feelies, his awards for the best creaky culture of 2001. This week he writes on the closing of the peerless collection of movie stills at New York City's Museum of Modern Art. As he writes, "May everything old be new again." At time.com/sampler...
...contributes all of about two lines to the euphoric “Joy,” an act of ego-compression worthy of applause in itself. Despite the collaborators, however, Jagger’s inimitable persona is emblazoned across the album, in every aspect, but most particularly his literally peerless voice.

When he tells the story of Roosevelt's intervention in the Pennsylvania coal miners' strike of 1902, he deftly sketches in the players--George F. Baer, the imperious representative of the mine owners; John Mitchell, the charismatic...
STORE MORE Remember those funky old 5 1/4-in. floppy discs that looked like roof tiles and held a paltry 800 kilobytes of data? Well, forget 'em. Iomega has a new disc called Peerless that stores 20 gigabytes--more than most hard drives. Granted, a Peerless disc drive costs $400, but that's for enough space to fit your entire PC on a single disc. And you can probably fit all those back issues of National Geographic you've been keeping in the attic...
