As America's latest pop delivery from the U.K., Starsailor has already made ripples across the pond. Its sound is somewhat fresh but many of the songs are teetering on the edge of power ballad status. It is apparent that the music of this indie rock quartet from Northwest England is a backlash from the more experimental and ponderous work of established bands such as Radiohead. The group's mild cheesiness is refreshing if you are in the mood to clean your palate and return to the lighter side of British pop.

Well, the holidays are almost upon us, and as I face an entire month of potential unemployment, it behooves me to find some form of entertainment that my indigent comrades and I can charge on a credit card. That said, this year's bumper crop of big-budget Hollywood movies looks like it might have something for everyone - from period pieces to crime thrillers; cheesy family tearjerkers to gritty boxing films.
It may be too much to ask that there be peace on earth this Christmas. After all, peace is bad for the economy and your paycheck is dependent on the military industrial complex.
