Even though the season is proceeding, the company’s plan to keep themselves afloat (if not artistically viable) seems dubious at best. No music director, draconian cuts for the players and chorus, and no base [...] Thu, 26 Jan 2012 01:56:14 +0000

SOCIAL GATHERING: Stone Age Social Networks May Have Resembled Ours
 If you ever sit back and wonder what it might have been like to live in the late Pleistocene, you're not alone. That's right about when humans emerged from a severe population bottleneck and began to expand globally. But, apparently, life back then might not have been too different than how we live today (that is, without the cars, the written language, and of course, the smartphone). In this week's Nature, a group of researchers suggest that we share many social characteristics with humans that lived in the late Pleistocene, and that these ancient humans may have paved the way for us to cooperate with each other...

The following April, with three smash singles and Rolling Stone hailing it as the band's bluesiest and best effort.
