...continuing string of good news from Byerly Hall, Fitzsimmons repeated an old refrain: "This certainly appears to be the best class we've ever...
...release is a conceptual drift through the experience of their titular hero, a disconnected observer who feels more than he lets on. And in the delicate construction here, the band proves the same is true of itself. Messner aches with lush compositions that expand both BFF's sound (string arrangements accompany their trademark piano/bass/drum combination) and their identity. Sure, "punk rock for sissies" was a fun label for their often-silly post-kitsch nods to pissed-off ex-boyfriends and love-struck goofballs, but it hardly accommodates the stylish, lingering sway delivered here.

...Springfest Battle of the Bands. The chosen, selected to compete by some mysterious and no doubt complicated process involving a whirl of demos and referrals, were: Putney Swope, usagipop, the Mode Mode and 98%.

Few of us can get enough of the myth and stories of the often painful reality surrounding the world's tallest mountain. The hype has even extended to the Web, where the site everest.mountainzone.com is sponsoring the expedition and selling...
...YORK: AT&T got the bride -- but it's letting Comcast share the dowry. In a string of deals announced late Tuesday, the former Ma Bell became the nation's No. 1 cable company when it finally won MediaOne's hand. Comcast, for stepping aside, gets to buy 2 million of AT&T's cable subscribers to further solidify its current position as a regional powerhouse and national No. 3. Not to mention $1.5 billion in deal-breaker fees from MediaOne (AT&T will foot that bill). So Comcast is happy. MediaOne's stockholders are definitely happy. And the groom...
