So you can't saddle up for an entire three-to-four day weekend and make it an official road trip. That happens -- well, school happens -- and the mid-to-late semester pinch on finances happens too. But you want to kick the B-town scene for a spell, where do you turn? Indianapolis and Louisville host some of the best acts coming around throughout the remainder of the semester with the convenience of the getting there and back in a 24-hour period.

No drama needed in this LBC

By C. Warner Sills and Josh Kastrinsky · Thursday, Nov. 6,2003 12 a.m.

I don't want to say I'm sorry/ I just want to drink beer and play Atari." The lyric embodies the newest cut from Chicago's neo-reggae punk-pop quintet Lucky Boys Confusion. With Commitment, the band provides a 45-minute punch of power-pop with a reggae twist.

Jesus takes on machines ... again

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Nov. 6,2003 12 a.m.

In 1999 when The Matrix debuted, it was rightfully declared an instant classic. This past summer came The Matrix Reloaded. The flick didn't connect with audiences or critics nearly as well as its predecessor did though I dug it.

Pink Floyd shines in new dvd

By C. Warner Sills and Doug Evans · Thursday, Nov. 6,2003 12 a.m.

Just two years before Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd was in its prime with most of its famous lineup still intact. The original members, minus founding guitarist Syd Barrett, are featured in the new Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii (The Director's Cut) DVD and for that reason alone it is worth checking out.

Rebel Strike, the next chapter in the space shooter Rogue Squadron series, finally allows players to step out of the cockpit for some of the missions. Rebel Strike also grants players command of a variety of non-starship vehicles, such as AT-ST walkers and speeder bikes.

Avoiding the second-album slump

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Nov. 6,2003 12 a.m.

Two years ago, the Strokes catapulted to the pinnacle of rock's musical spectrum with its critically acclaimed debut Is This It. Now, after serious bouts of touring, a failed collaboration with producer extraordinaire Nigel Godrich (Beck, Radiohead) and a return to former boardman Gordon Raphael, the furious fivesome have avoided the dreaded sophomore slump and hit pay dirt with Room on Fire.

Must-See TV is Grade C at best

By -Paul Straw · Thursday, Nov. 6,2003 12 a.m.

What we are witnessing right now on television is one of the great dynasties past its prime. I'm not referring to the Yankees, but instead to NBC's Thursday nights "Must-See TV." For the past 20 years, we have encountered shows including "Seinfeld," "Cosby," "Family Ties," "Hill Street Blues," "Cheers" and "Friends" to name just a few. But with the latter about to end this year, with waning ratings and the rise of CBS' lineup, it seems the crown could be passed.

Pop music doesn't need more Mandy

By C. Warner Sills and Greg O'Neill · Thursday, Nov. 6,2003 12 a.m.

There was a time when the name and face of pop star Mandy Moore was as omnipresent as the stench of Long John Silver's. Then, it seemed she was doomed to the status of Guest VJ for all eternity. Well, apparently she was listening to her mother's records the whole time.
