		<description><![CDATA[Piano-pop music (a bit similar to Ben Folds). Really like the album, but the incessant repetition of some of the lyrics goes on my nerves, as do the Hallelujahs. Stand-outs: Dance Anthem of the 80&#8242;s, Eet, The Calculation.

		<description><![CDATA[Fairly short book, and about 3 quarters of it feel like exposition (although there&#8217;s plenty of things happening) and build-up, but it covers a lot of ground; a fair amount of it in flashbacks. Nevertheless, it ends in a nice, &#8230; <a href="http://www.maven.de/2008/10/richard-morgan-the-steel-remains/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
