When a comedy has as much promotion as “Couples Retreat,” most of the time the movie fails miserably to live up to the hype.
Listen up fellas, Beth Ditto of Gossip doesn’t like you, despite what the title of the band’s latest effort, “Music For Men,” may suggest.
Since the debut of his eponymous album in 1993, Toby Keith has risen to the top of country music charts repeatedly over the last 16 years. Now, 13 studio albums and several CMT Flameworthy awards later, Keith has come out with another album that may soon follow its predecessors.
After coming in second place to Jordin Sparks on his season of “American Idol,” Blake Lewis sort of dropped off the face of the earth. His debut effort, “Audio Day Dream,” was released without fanfare and failed to pick up any mainstream love, despite being catchy as all get out and getting a few good reviews.
If you’ve been a Backstreet Boys fan since “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart),” you’ll want to like this album. But while some songs are catchy, the group lacks the maturity they should have after 16 years together.
About a month ago, I argued that Yo La Tengo has demonstrated extraordinarily consistent talent throughout its career. The same could easily be said of Built to Spill, and the band’s seventh and most recent album, “There Is No Enemy,” is no exception.
HORSE the Band’s “Desperate Living” would be nearly indistinguishable from the sea of metal releases this year if it weren’t for the band’s obsession with "Nintendo."
Mayday Parade’s 2007 effort “A Lesson In Romantics” took pop-punk fandom by storm, but songwriter and primary vocalist Jason Lancaster left the band amidst a flurry of hateful MySpace postings and he said/he said. Since then, fans assumed that follow-ups without Lancaster would be disappointing – but Mayday’s new record proves them wrong. Sort of.
In his latest effort, Michael Buble moves away from his typical mix of big-band numbers and revamped versions of Sinatra classics. The voice of the sultry jazz singer has made millions of fans swoon worldwide, but “Crazy Love” is an odd mixture of styles for Buble.

Long mislabeled as a “Christian band,” Relient K have churned out sweetly satisfying pop-rock albums since 2003’s “Two Lefts Don’t Make a Right ... But Three Do,” and their newest effort “Forget and Not Slow Down” is their best yet.
IU’s Matching the Promise campaign exceeded its $1 billion mark on Tuesday.
The IU Police Department is investigating an incident involving a sexual assault that occurred on Sunday morning.
IU field hockey split this weekend’s games in Bloomington, faltering against No. 8 Michigan State and defeating Central Michigan.
The sixth annual VH1 Hip Hop Honors will air Tuesday at 9 p.m.
Faculty, staff and students discuss the significance of IU professor Elinor Ostrom being the first woman to win the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.
IU professor Elinor Ostrom became the first woman to win the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences on Monday.
Jenny Rubenstein looked both ways and still didn’t see the car until it hit her. “I mean, I was taught that when I was five,” she said. “I’m not an idiot. The car came out of nowhere ... It knocked me down onto the pavement. I fell on my left arm and broke it.”
