Art Review: “Barton Meyers”
The hip, latter-day Zen style of exposed beams and pipes found in trendy boutiques and Asian restaurants actually has its roots in mass-produced houses ordered for workers by giant corporations.

Saint Etienne | Interlude | Subpop
Let’s face it: B-side albums are pretty problematic. While the Pumpkins’ Pisces Iscariot and R.E.M.’s Dead Letter Office do have their moments, they don’t quite measure up to the a-side releases.

No longer is it sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. Now it’s web sites, pornography downloads and something between stand-up comedy and a […]
