...Utter chaos, untold mayhem"--those were but a few of the gloomy predictions on what changing over to the euro would cause in France. But the arrival of the euro proved to be a fabulous and magical moment, as distrust gave way to sheer excitement. Oddly enough, for all the minor inconveniences that switching to a totally new currency overnight could have generated, there was a prevailing sense of conviviality and togetherness as French people started fiddling with their euro coins and bills. Buying my usual baguette at my local bakery on Jan. 1, I witnessed a spending frenzy...
Bronson then taps into a graphically charged confrontation with death and life. His own nude image in a black casket-like box stands as a memorial to his past, and as a memorial to his own image as he moves into heartfelt works regarding the process of death.

Given that the two students in question are facing decade-long sentences if convicted, it’s downright grotesque...
...goes, as the band lacks any of the features that made trip hop’s pioneers stand out so much. They cannot match Portishead, the band they most resemble, for eerie gloom and atmospherics, nor Massive Attack for their raps and stylistic breadth, nor Tricky for his sheer, well, trickyness. By about half-way through the album, there is the distinct impression of having heard that particular drum loop somewhere before, and the lyrics certainly aren’t going to save the album: Like Portishead, you’re doing well if you can make out anything...
