...Loops. Cobra and Phases Groups is the band's longest album, clocking in over 75 minutes. But this never becomes a strain, and the songs distinguish themselves nicely. Gone is the drone that was the band's early trademark; instead, they've gone for more orthodox song structures. Lovely string flourishes garnish "Puncture in the Radar," while lead singer Laetitia Sadier and Mary Hansen harmonize beautifully...
...Burren was maybe not the ideal venue for the band, since space was tight, but folks were definitely moving to old favorites like "Hurts So Bad," a jumping reggae romp with a mercilessly catchy beat. Ty Gibbons' six-string fretless bass moved beautifully in some of their slower songs like "Sweet May Hill", while Ian Steams' precise guitar-work was more delta blues than plain ol' rock-and-roll.

...really understand what Tori Amos is saying. Actually, I don't think Tori Amos knows what Tori Amos is saying, but most of us can mysteriously understand what she's feeling.

Last week's toll was added to the count of Christian teens killed at Columbine and three students killed at a 1997 prayer circle in West Paducah, Ky. Many evangelical leaders have begun to see "committed Christians" as the latest victims...
...once regarded as the Valley's geeky proletariat, are in such high demand that many of them shrewdly migrate from one start-up to the next, pulling in six-figure salaries and collecting bushels of potentially lucrative stock options. Kaushik should be rich by now, but thanks to a string of bad luck and bad decisions, he is not. He's worked for seven high-tech companies in 10 years. His first employer was bought by another firm shortly after he was hired. He joined another company in 1992 before it went public, but by 1996 the company was floundering...
