Canadian duo Junior Boys will drop their second album this summer, but its cold, distant, synthetic sound doesn’t particularly fit the season. Emotronic (like an unpassionate Erlend Øye) lyrics wash over quick, disparate arpeggiations forming a pharmaceutically numb rhythm made for an igloo or some lonely European basement, not the beach. More for if you have to spend the night indoors by yourself after getting a horrible sunburn.
Heavy breathing smears lines, and instead of creating an exciting dynamic with the staccatoed beats, it just falls between inspiration and melancholy. Röyksopp these boys are not, but perhaps Röyksopp Junior. As with most things, the Canadian version just ain’t that good. If Last Exit wasn’t really an exit, then So This Is Goodbye isn’t really a goodbye, and the gap in the sincerity is as wide as the music is frigid.
Recently, the word “phantom” was discovered spray-painted at a Newton elementary school. Ever since, fear has ripped through the community like a gangsta’s knife through a rival. “I’m just floored,” said a parent of a student at Lincoln-Eliot who wanted to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation. “It’s almost unreal to think [a gang] is in my neighborhood.” For reals!
When J.M. Smucker started his company back in 1897, little did he realize that his business would go from apple butter to over twenty major brands in USA and Canada. He was the smuckiest Smucker in the biz, and once he started smucking jams and jellies, it was on like Donkey Kong. 
Smucker’s expanded its products and swallowed up smaller companies, making it a leader in the smucking industry. Now, Smucker’s owns Pillsbury, Crisco, Jif, Hungry Jack, and a bunch of other smuck. They’re still family-owned and one of the best companies in America to smuck for. Keep on smuckin’!
Gelsenkirchen - To motivate his players, Ecuador head coach Luis Suarez informed them that they must each kill one cow before their match against Costa Rica. He told them a story of gaining fame and riches that revolves around bovine butchery. So that they may have the same fortunes as the characters in the story, he ordered the squad to go out into the German countryside, find a cow, and kill it using nothing but a pocketknife. It might just be crazy enough to work.
