By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Nov. 20,2003 12 a.m.

By C. Warner Sills and Eric Smith · Thursday, Nov. 20,2003 12 a.m.

While most bands use a rarities and B-sides album to make use of the songs that weren't quite good enough for studio albums, Pearl Jam has amassed a substantial number of songs on the cutting room floor, and it's compiled the 30 best on a two-disc set.

Take a Walk through Bloomington's Best

By C. Warner Sills and Phil McLaughlin · Thursday, Nov. 20,2003 12 a.m.

Humans loonier than the toons

By C. Warner Sills and Dan Minchella · Thursday, Nov. 20,2003 12 a.m.

The great thing about Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck when I was a kid was that they were refreshingly disobedient. I may not have known those words exactly, but I had no trouble understanding the concept. The problem with Looney Tunes: Back in Action, is that it dilutes that brilliant twist on the craziness of the world with a live-action story that is as flat as Wile E. Coyote after yet another encounter with an airborne anvil.

VILLAGE DELI

By C. Warner Sills and -Meghan Dwyer · Thursday, Nov. 20,2003 12 a.m.

As far as chains are concerned, Bob Evans got gyped. For all of you whose parents have been divorced since you were wee ones, the standard PB&J offered on the weekends at dad's was bi-weekly replaced in my world with a trip to Bob's.

By C. Warner Sills and -Brandon Tucker · Thursday, Nov. 20,2003 12 a.m.

Pink parades punk persona

By C. Warner Sills and -Jenny Kobiela · Thursday, Nov. 20,2003 12 a.m.

Pink started as a pink-haired R&B singer. Then she dabbled in the arena of teen pop-rock with her second album, M!ssundaztood. Now, she's shed the teen image and dye job on her newest album Try This to attempt another genre -- punk.

By C. Warner Sills and Kelly Phillips · Thursday, Nov. 20,2003 12 a.m.

RUN OF THE MILL

By C. Warner Sills and Doug Smith · Thursday, Nov. 20,2003 12 a.m.

Expectations. A college band that stays together for an entire year supersedes most. The primary objectives of this endeavor are limited to abusing some accessible substance(s), hard rockin' with friends and the improbable chance of booking live shows. The latter requires ambition and persistence of a band that sees a future beyond the bounds of basements and buddies' backyards.
