An unforgettable effort

“Revolver” is an album that puts the world on pause. If only for a mere 35 minutes, everything feels frozen in time because the music, the sounds, the words emanating from the speakers are the only things that seem to matter.

All You Need is The Beatles

The Beatles’ “Yellow Submarine” is more well-known as a sound track of the widely popular animated film than as another addition to their already broad catalogue. With that said, “Yellow Submarine” might be labeled as unnecessary, but any fan would know that there is no such thing as an unnecessary Beatles album.

Yes Please

Recorded in only one day, “Please Please Me” is an excellent showcase of what makes The Beatles so lovable.It showcases the band’s influences of R&B, girl-group pop and rock ‘n’ roll through both covers and well-written originals.

Soul revue

Forget the collarless suits, mop-top haircuts and self-absorbed lyrics of The Beatles before Christmas ’65. This is “Rubber Soul.”

An underrated gem

When people talk about The Beatles, “With the Beatles” is one of the most consistently overlooked and underrated albums. Released at the height of their early U.K. fame, it peaked at No. 1 on the charts. While not terribly remarkable in any one aspect, it’s still a significant album.

A magical ride

Cursed to exist forever in the shadows of its monumental predecessor “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” the death of manager Brian Epstein and the album’s failed film, “Magical Mystery Tour” survives as one of the Beatles catalog’s biggest oddballs.

The best of psychedelia

Groundbreaking studio tricks, an elaborate cover image and a slew of drug references. That didn’t quite sound like The Beatles when they recorded “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” in 1966-67, but the results were nothing short of fantastic.

No assistance needed

“Help!” might not have introduced any innovative music from The Beatles, but it did pave the way for the albums to come. And from “Help!” things could only get better.

Training day

Jeff Watkinson, IU’s strength and conditioning coach, has had the Hoosiers exchange many team dinners for team breakfasts. In his third year as the basketball team’s fitness expert, Watkinson has a point guard’s feel for the kind of bad nutritional habits college students often adopt.

Hoosiers drop 10th straight, face Buckeyes on Saturday

For the first time all season, IU brought its intensity on the road, but for the 10th time in a row, it wasn’t enough. The Hoosiers dropped a heartbreaker to Northwestern 77-75 in Evanston, Ill. IU had the ball with five seconds left down by two, but turned it over for the 22nd time on the inbounds to seal its fate. PODCAST: Hoosier Headlines

One more lesson

“Heartbreaking” would be an appropriate adjective. So would “gut-wrenching.” But like anything else the Hoosiers do this season that doesn’t involve sleep or food, this two-point loss presents a great lesson: Every single possession counts.

University cancels classes after snow blankets city

The snow, a miracle for many students, came at the worst possible time for the University, said IU Spokesman Larry MacIntyre. Despite the maintenance staff’s efficiency, the snow came in the morning, so crews didn’t have enough time to clear roads, leaving students with a day off from classes.

Long Live The Beatles

The Beatles widely influenced a variety of popular modern music with their genre-blending style, meticulous album construction and intimate and accessible songwriting.

Here, There and Everywhere

I have spent countless hours listening to them, tattooed one of their lyrics on my wrist and traveled across an ocean to learn about their lives. It has to be obvious at this point that my love for them has no bounds.

John, Paul, George and Glenn

Every Tuesday and Thursday night from 7 to 9 p.m. in the fall of 2008, loud guitar riffs float out of Ballantine Hall. A round of applause sounds every time Glenn Gass enters the room, and as the lights go down, the 60s pop up through the music of the four gents from Liverpool.
