FLYINGSOLO

By Ben Warden · Thursday, Oct. 9,2003 12 a.m.

No band? No shoes? No problem. One-man jam band extraordinaire Keller Williams will bring his unique live show back to Bloomington Sunday, armed with an arsenal of guitars and a state-of-the-art looping system that defies explanation. Simply, Williams is capable of creating music onstage that defies categorization.

'Thirteen' unlucky number, powerful film

By C. Warner Sills and Jenny Mancino · Thursday, Oct. 9,2003 12 a.m.

Newcomer Catherine Hardwicke created a masterful and dark drama that has disturbed and frightened parents across the country. A story seen through the eyes of a troubled thirteen-year-old portrays what can happen to even the most innocent teens growing up in today's materialistic and beauty-obsessed culture.

By by Isaac Edwards and Isaac Edwards · Thursday, Oct. 9,2003 12 a.m.

Sofia Coppola has more than fulfilled the promise she made with her critically-acclaimed 1999 film The Virgin Suicides. Her latest film, Lost in Translation, has been generating Oscar buzz practically since its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, and the critics have come to call the film their own, officially dubbing it one of the best films of 2003.

Lessons learned from a skanky reality show

By Natalie A. Trout · Wednesday, Oct. 8,2003 7:30 p.m.

Since June, twice a week my nights have been drama-filled with hook-ups, break-ups, parties and unexpected twists. No, I haven't been partying at the local bars and I don't belong to a sorority. Fox's "Paradise Hotel" has become an addiction to many on this campus. My roommates and I almost cried when the scandalous last episode aired last Wednesday.

Film remains 'unscarred' after 20 years

By C. Warner Sills and Jake Bilinski · Wednesday, Oct. 8,2003 7:29 p.m.

As Tony Montana sits at his throne, face buried in a mound of cocaine, gunfire rings out into the night. His sister dead, his wife gone and his empire collapsing, Tony arms himself to the teeth, firing a grenade into the path of unsuspecting assassins as he warns, "Say hello to my little 'fren!'" At this point, if you're not cheering, you don't have any business watching movies.

Hitz me baby one more time

By David Antognoli · Wednesday, Oct. 8,2003 7:16 p.m.

Since the inception of NBA Jam in 1994, Midway sports video games have earned a reputation for their over-the- top, arcade-esque style, tweaking the rules to make games more fast-paced, easier to play and, quite simply, just more fun.

Easy, Tiger! You can play later

By -Mitch Nelson · Wednesday, Oct. 8,2003 7:15 p.m.

So you think you can beat Tiger Woods, huh? EA Sports would love to see players try -- that's why it came out with the most realistic and fun-filled golf video game ever. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 just doesn't get on the green; it hits a hole-in-one with over eight game modes and the most challenging links ever found on the Playstation 2 game console.

By Jennifer Whalen · Wednesday, Oct. 8,2003 6:52 p.m.

BrotherS in the Struggle

By Alex Pappas · Wednesday, Oct. 8,2003 6:49 p.m.

It's called "Roots Reggae Rock," and the band that made this breed of rock-infused reggae ubiquitous calls itself Natty Nation. Tonight at 10 p.m., five members of this up-and-coming band will take the stage at Uncle Fester's House of Blooze to share their unique sounds and pass along what they feel is bridging the gap between not just reggae and rock, but between all types of music.

Kid Dynamite takes 'shot' at hardcore fame

By Neal Taflinger · Wednesday, Oct. 8,2003 6:42 p.m.

Kid Dynamite was a one-trick pony. They wrote short, fast, loud punk songs with a slight melodic edge that owed quite a debt of gratitude to guitarist Dan Yemin's previous band, Lifetime.

'Thank you' to Dido for latest album

By -Kehla West · Wednesday, Oct. 8,2003 6:40 p.m.

Dido's new release, Life for Rent, might have been called No Angel II, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just another CD full of Dido doing what she does best. Life for Rent is full of mellow pop songs with just-edgy-enough beats, performed with Dido's trademark breathiness. But this Dido is slightly more mature, more developed as a songwriter and more comfortable being sexy. She's not as squeaky-clean as she was on No Angel.

This ain't heavy, it's my 'Brothers'

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Wednesday, Oct. 8,2003 6:39 p.m.

The music industry decided around 1997 or so that electronica would be "The Next Big Thing." They even coined the term "electronica." The whole movement flopped, though, and no, the flop is not some new dance. For example, Prodigy was harsh and uninclusive, and Fatboy Slim couldn't make a hit no matter how much he sold out.

Cubs, Red Sox know misery loves company

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Wednesday, Oct. 8,2003 2:20 a.m.

Name the following major league baseball franchise. They have won one World Series in their history. They have won only four pennants since 1915. They once scored 14 runs in a World Series game and lost. Cubs? Red Sox? No, that would be the Phillies.
