Ryan Adams' latest album closer to bronze than 'Gold'

|

Approximately a year after the release of his solo debut, "Heartbreaker," Ryan Adams is back on the scene with his new double album, "Gold." Adams, not to be confused with the '80s rocker Bryan Adams, was first noted on the music scene as a member of the country band Whiskeytown.

Screw, Shag and Bang: a different sort of vocabulary

|

"Hook up," according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is a verb that means to establish a link or to make a connection with. But to people in their teens and 20s, "hook up" means physical intimacy that can range from kissing to sexual intercourse. This word is just one of many that belongs on the unwritten list of vocabulary used to describe relationships and activities between two people who are intimately involved with each other. Because of its very unwritten nature, "hook-up vocabulary" promulgates misunderstandings and misconceptions.

Latest batch of 'Survivor' contestants breaks the rules

|

Everyone in America watched at least some of "Survivor" and "Survivor: The Australian Outback" -- except, it seems, for the contestants on "Survivor: Africa." Our new gang of 16 made many of the same mistakes that garnered tribal council votes on the first two editions of CBS's hit reality series. Mail carrier Diane Ogden, 42, made the first error by showing up for the "Survivor" contestant auditions in the first place.

Hanover may boast culture, but where is the art?

|

In light of the "Hanover" theme this week, I had hoped to review local art galleries. Unfortunately, Hanover has none. Hanover does have a branch of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen (next to Rosey Jekes), where one can purchase crafts including wooden and ceramic bowls and kitchen accoutrements, some silky formless clothing, and beautiful but insignificant cherry furniture.
