1,000 fans ‘Spoon’-fed at Bluebird

By Zack Teibloom · Thursday, March 8,2007 12 a.m.

Spoon’s frizzy, blond-haired front man, Britt Daniel, kept the packed Bluebird crowd on its feet as he dropped to his knees throughout the performance. Wailing away on his guitar like a machine gun, thrusting it against the speaker and breaking into occasional falsetto, he didn’t let a broken guitar strap halt him or the rest of the band from feeding the crowd a night of hard rock.

Photography exhibit at BCT reflects evolution of television

By Lauren Younis · Tuesday, March 6,2007 12 a.m.

It’s no small task to examine how vulnerable individuals have become to the mass media that saturates our lives on a daily basis, but Bloomington artist Brian Chase has come convincingly close. And he has photos to prove it. Chase’s most recent exhibit, “Tube Fed,” is a collection of 12 black-and-white photographs that reflects the evolution of television from innocent invention to media machine. Central to the theme of the collection are figures of both male and female nudes, seemingly captured in empty rooms with nothing but televisions before them.

Stolen Rockwell in Spielberg’s collection

LOS ANGELES – Norman Rockwell paintings often resonate because of their depictions of everyday life, but the life of one of his paintings has been anything but mundane. “Russian Schoolroom,” a Rockwell painting stolen from a gallery in the St. Louis suburb of Clayton, Mo., more than three decades ago, was found in Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Spielberg’s art collection, the FBI announced Friday.

Anna Nicole: death of a corporate scam

By Ryan Brown · Tuesday, March 6,2007 12 a.m.

One night, as I flipped through the channels, I came across what I assumed was an entertainment-based network showing clips and up-to-date info on the death and burial of Anna Nicole Smith. I was shocked to find out the late Smith, 27 days since her death, is still receiving headline coverage on one of America’s most powerful news stations: CNN.

The Oscars: the good, the bad and Jennifer Hudson

By Teri Rosenbaum · Monday, March 5,2007 12 a.m.

Last Sunday night, America wasn’t participating in a war or contributing to a debate on gay marriage. America wasn’t feeling the effects of global warming or developing new immigration laws. America wasn’t rallying against abortion or campaigning for its first black president. For one night, America stood united.

By Carrie Ritchie · Friday, March 2,2007 12 a.m.

This Saturday the IU Auditorium will open its doors to something it hasn’t seen in a while: a country act. The Union Board is bringing Dierks Bentley to the auditorium for a 7:30 p.m. show to add a new flavor to its spring events line-up. “It’s been a long time since we’ve had a country artist, if ever, so we decided it would be good for Union Board to bring (one) to IU,” said Adam Soiref, UB concerts director. The last country performer to come to IU was Willie Nelson in December 2004.

By Megan K. Scott · Friday, March 2,2007 12 a.m.

Tired of wearing that same chunky sweater, the one that looked so up-to-the-minute in November, but now is covered in fuzz balls? What about those clunky knee-high boots? They felt great those first cold weeks of winter, but wouldn’t a cool new wedge sandal be a welcome relief?
