But she did her best to tell us of every part that she could reach Calling back sometimes from the far side, muffled by its bulk And sometimes she put our hands on a tooth's serrated edge But never without kindness The teeth were there anyway, and she wanted us to know where we kept cutting ourselves She never told the lie that the teeth were the only part that mattered.

The company has unveiled its latest product, the Ara, which it claims is the "first toothbrush with embedded AI." This doesn't mean, of course, that some sultry-voiced operating system will whisper sweet nothings to you while you're brushing your teeth (they'd be pretty muffled anyway), but a bunch of sensors in the brush will monitor how long you use it each day and which areas of your mouth you you hit.

JON PARELES It's hard to imagine a more despondent breakup song than Anonhi's "I Don't Love You Anymore," which circles through loneliness, near-suicidal sorrow, bittersweet memories, anger and a final unfinished hypothetical: "If you showed up at my door..." Reverential organ chords and a muffled rhythm like a heartbeat are pressured, gradually but relentlessly, by increasingly stormy electronics; a melody that starts as an incantation rises as the lyrics offer painful details.

Although he is never named or even shown, and only overheard as a muffled, off-camera voice, communicating with Jane via email or phone, the villain of this piece is spoken about by his underlings in a way that delineates him as a kind of mundane monster: Whoever he is, he is manipulative, quick-to-anger, entitled, feared and — in ways that only gradually come into focus, over a fleet but nauseating 87 minutes — an abuser.

Artists orbiting their inner circle include Hirakish, an androgynous-looking, rock-inspired vocalist who got a taste of the national stage when Hood by Air recruited him to be a model for the brand in 2016; Free Trial, a New Orleans native who produces house edits of popular rap records and co-hosts Pink Room Radio, which airs on Tulane University's FM station; and riq163, who makes intentionally muffled, lo-fi rap songs and adopted New Orleans as a home after he and some friends got stuck there during a cross-country road trip from Seattle.

It builds up as the hitters (Flynn and Blake) who precede Casey in the Mudville lineup get on base; it swells as Casey takes that first pitch for a strike—"From the benches, black with people, there went up a muffled roar/like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore"—and it culminates in the famous final verse, which has been mimicked and co-opted hundreds of times since its publication: Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright; the band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light, and somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout; but there is no joy in Mudville — mighty Casey has struck out.
