By -Brandon Tucker · Thursday, May 20,2004 12 a.m.

The era of the "producer" is upon us, where a good hip-hop CD is nothing without a cut from Kanye West, Timbaland, Just Blaze, or of course, Rap's Top 40 golden boy: Lil' Jon.

There is a time and place for all kinds of music. I don't mean to degrade commercial rock 'n' roll along the lines of Hoobastank and New Found Glory, but if you've grown tired and find it lame, then The End of Heartache could be just the remedy.

BEYOND SKIN DEEP

By C. Warner Sills and Jeff Douglas · Thursday, May 20,2004 12 a.m.

Rob Poulos is a walking fragment of literature. Tattooed on his left wrist is a single word, lowercase, followed by a comma and quotation marks -- "back," -- as if it was lifted from the end of a line of dialogue.

'Troy' offers scintillating swords, sandals

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, May 20,2004 12 a.m.

Following on the sandaled heels of Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" (a film that single-handedly resurrected the seemingly deceased swashbuckler sub-genre -- see "The Lord of the Rings," "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the upcoming "King Arthur" for further examples), comes "Troy," director Wolfgang Peterson's reinterpretation of Homer's timeless, epic poem, "The Iliad."

'Titan'ic Rivalry

By Benjames Derrick and Benjamin Derrick · Wednesday, May 19,2004 10:19 p.m.

After being eliminated from the six-team Big Ten tournament, IU's baseball team will travel to West Lafayette looking to spoil Purdue's postseason hopes. The four-game series begins Friday, followed by a doubleheader Saturday and before the season finale Sunday. With just four more conference games left for the Big Ten, the Boilermakers presently sit in sixth place in the conference standings with Northwestern looming three games behind in seventh place. If IU sweeps Purdue, or even wins just three of the four games, they will open the door for Northwestern to tie Purdue in conference play and climb to sixth place by virtue of the overall record tie-breaker. In addition to attempting to spoil the Boilermakers' season, this weekend's series is important for the seniors, who would like nothing more than to end their careers on a good note.
