By Tony Sams · Thursday, April 15,2004 12 a.m.

BLOOMINGTON LIVE!

By Holly Johnson and Holy Johnson · Thursday, April 15,2004 12 a.m.

With acts ranging from the traditional jazz combo to punk-infused rock to a one-man electronic extraordinaire, this year's Live from Bloomington commingles all the right elements, promising to shake up the local live music scene. And it's anything but formulaic.

Only half as irritating as the old Modest Mouse

By -Nate Bethea · Thursday, April 15,2004 12 a.m.

It is great to hear that indie rock/pop trio Modest Mouse had changed its tune. It was always pretty iffy -- its music came across as intentionally difficult, and all in all they seemed to waste their potentially good songs on being agonizingly ironic and clever to appeal to overwrought hipsters.

'Damita Jo' more like 'Damita Ho'

Loring becomes first coach in NCAA to win 600 games

By Jeff Fuldauer · Wednesday, April 14,2004 1:38 a.m.

If Tony Kornheiser, host of ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption," were to make a list of the top college tennis programs in the country, IU would certainly be listed among those on top of his "food chain." But if he were to list the coaches with 600 or more wins, Lin Loring would be it. 'That's it. That's the list,' Kornheiser would say. And yet even at his own University, a place where he has worked for more than 20 years, he goes relatively unknown outside the tennis world.

By Dan Patrick · Wednesday, April 14,2004 1:33 a.m.

The hall was packed full of people anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Ultimate Warrior. But there was a conspicuous lack of hand-drawn signs, painted faces and the likes of Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and Vince McMahon. Warrior, who had his name legally changed from James Hellwig in 1993 when he first left the then-World Wrestling Federation, modified the "Always Believe" philosophy he popularized during his professional wrestling days to "Always Believe in the Conservative Cause."
