Rubbish!

By Erich Reinhard · Sunday, May 11,2008 4:52 p.m.

The most memorable words of my freshman year came from my acting teacher: “Don’t think that you can impress me ... I’ve seen Helen Mirren, the greatest living actress in the world, perform in London from a front-row seat.”

National holiday

By Thomas Wachtel · Sunday, May 11,2008 4:50 p.m.

I made my dad vote on Election Day. He wanted to, and he nearly always votes in election years – even though we live in Indiana, so our votes rarely count, thanks to the Electoral College – but he wasn’t sure if he would make it out for the primary. I convinced him, however, that he needed to make the effort and do it.

'Sticks and Stones'

Sunday, May 11,2008 4:47 p.m.

Maybe your mother got it wrong. When she dried your tears and reassured you that those mean things said at the lunch table were just words, she might have made a mistake. In her defense, your mother didn’t know about Facebook.

They aren’t like Michigan’s “Fab Five.” They don’t have the catchy nickname yet. But in less than three weeks, five recruits have signed on to join IU coach Tom Crean and the Indiana Hoosiers for the 2008-09 or 2009-10 seasons.  BLOG:  Basketblog

Rootin fo’ Roots

By Alex Benson · Thursday, May 8,2008 4:17 p.m.

With quality synths, dark beats and darker spits, the Roots get back to what hip-hop and rap originally set out to achieve. Rap used to be about standing up for something real and screaming it from the top of a building. Jewelry, alcohol, drugs, sex and mindless violence have taken hold of mainstream rap these days. Rising Down is a breath of fresh activism ranging from global warming to corruption.

Jim

Fly for a white guy

By Peter Chen · Thursday, May 8,2008 4:09 p.m.

From the first notes on Jim’s radiant opener “Another Day,” you’ll wish you were nodding along to it on your cranked-up car speakers on the first hot day in June. Jamie Lidell, everyone’s favorite British white knob-twiddler-turned-soul-singer, absolutely loads on the sunshine in this song, complete with handclaps and ooh-oohs, doing his best Curtis Mayfield impression in his more traditional follow-up to the spastic Multiply. Is it lampoon? Is it reverence? Who cares?

The Hoosiers have spoken

Thursday, May 8,2008 2:13 p.m.

Wednesday, the prevailing mood in Bloomington was one of sour defeat. While the rest of the state congratulates itself on the renewed relevance of its votes, Monroe County wanted vastly different for itself. Obama won handily around the Bloomington area, no doubt thanks to the youth movement at the core of his support, but in the end it wasn’t enough.
