Windy city full of summer entertainment

By Evan Gaughan · Sunday, June 1,2003 8:33 p.m.

If you're suffering from that suffocating choke of the small town blues and 15 cent drafts at the Bluebird just aren't cutting it in terms of weekly entertainment, your summer salvation is waiting for you in that "same old place, sweet home Chicago."

The methodology of traffic stops

By Brandon Morley · Sunday, June 1,2003 8:26 p.m.

Of the roads surrounding the IU campus, 17th Street, Third Street and Atwater Avenue offer the greatest chance to nab speeders for officers of the IU Police Department. That's why the officers set up "speed traps" more often in these high-traffic areas than any other, IUPD Officer Brice Boembeke said.

The proverbial tree falling in the woods

By Michael Tapscott and Mike Tapscott · Friday, May 30,2003 12 a.m.

The crowd was small: four random folks, four of my friends and members of the performing bands and their women. Searching for an explanation for the Midstates' frontman Paul Heintz afterwards, I came up with graduation and Memorial Day. The truth is, Midstates should be playing to huge crowds, its sound warrants the ardor and the members' personalities deserve it.

Less Than Jake, less than important

By B. James Reid and Brian Reid · Thursday, May 29,2003 12 a.m.

If you're looking for a self-help guide to surviving the transition from teenager to adult, you've come to the right place. That topic is Less Than Jake's field of expertise and it has spent the last four albums deconstructing every possible emotion involved with growing up.

Tweelicious with a bit of punch

By Jessica Halverson and Jesscia Halverson · Thursday, May 29,2003 12 a.m.

With a heading of neo-psychedelia on All Music Guide and honey dripping from their organ and auxiliary percussion-fused sound, Paul Butler and Aaron Fletcher of A Band of Bees are here with a depth of pleasantries. With substance disguised by jazz-fusion influenced sounds, Sunshine Hit Me is an LP of sonically-removed intimacy. The band's first full-length, with tracks from its 2001 EP Punchbag, will take you to a flowered field with little animal dens littering the undergrowth.

There's something about Ben Stiller

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Thursday, May 29,2003 12 a.m.

There's something about Ben Stiller. I have never talked to anybody who doesn't have a strong opinion of him one way or another. I think the guy is a borderline genius, yet I hear from people all the time who think he is a hack.

Powerman 5000 wants you to 'Transform'

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Thursday, May 29,2003 12 a.m.

Powerman 5000 called its new album transform. because Johnny's First Politically Charged Metal Album would be too condescending. The music is so slick and so well-made, with relentlessly catchy riffs and choruses that it's hard to hate but untrustworthy at the same time.

Minus features, 'Adaptation' is a good DVD

By Jake Bilinski · Thursday, May 29,2003 12 a.m.

"Adaptation" is a brilliant film. It exhibits a very aware sense of the metaphorical line between fiction and reality, how a single narrative can enhance its poignancy by manipulating this notion and deconstructing its own anatomy. It's a shame that the DVD isn't aware of the same fact.

Stop making nonsense

By Ryan Allen · Thursday, May 29,2003 12 a.m.

Recently, a conversation with an acquaintance inspired me to think a little longer than my perpetually declining attention span normally allows. Summer in this town tends to accelerate that process. And admittedly, it was something that I'd rather think about without a head full of whiskey, as was the case when it was first brought to my attention. The thing wasn't precisely the subject of the discussion, but more along its contexts, which rambunctiously danced from the disparities between rap and hip hop to whether or not those were the modern answers to such musical predecessors like the blues that also depicted the strife faced by African-Americans and anyone else who wasn't part of the small percentage of the wealthy ruling class.

Jim Carrey wants to be somebody

By Michael Tapscott and Mike Tapscott · Thursday, May 29,2003 12 a.m.

Continuing a complete overhaul of his goofball persona, "Bruce Almighty" finds Jim Carrey getting comfortable in his restrained starring roles in family comedies. Like in his previous film, "The Majestic," Carrey not only seems desperate to become lovable, but to become a pillar of moral integrity much like his "Bruce Almighty" co-star Morgan Freeman, or more obviously, Jimmy Stewart. Those actor's roles aren't forced, and Carrey's attempts not only feel disgustingly fraught, but wholly condescending.

Lingering for years without much to say

By Jessica Halverson and Jesscia Halverson · Thursday, May 29,2003 12 a.m.

Daniel Lanois' solo efforts may be overshadowed by his production work with Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, U2, Emmylou Harris and other famous rockstars, but his sound can hold its own. Shine is the Canadian's fourth solo trial on a fourth label in 14 years. His sound is watery, wavy and skyshown, his lyrics simple -- capturing his feelings without trying to dress them up. While it's easy to grasp the concreteness of his metaphors and descriptions, if I hear one more artist sing about his "angel" woman, deserts and waterfalls in a love song I might just vomit with boredom.

To Bloomington: The Making of 'The Making of a John Mellencamp Album'

By Robert Mixner · Thursday, May 29,2003 12 a.m.

These telecommunications students are, according to their professor, "the top... for whatever particular focus they were into the class to do." The class they had signed up for -- more than signed up for, as they had to apply, and on the application tell why they wanted to be in the class and what talents they could bring to the class -- is a demanding, senior-level course in which they would combine their individual talents to create one final project. This semester, though, their professor had a surprise for them, a challenge that surpassed in difficulty of the projects of previous semesters, and went far beyond what any of them had expected the class to be.

Andrew Broder puts forth his message

By Mia Partlow · Thursday, May 29,2003 12 a.m.

Fog, aka Andrew Broder, opens his second full length Ether Teeth, with a song that makes you feel like something important is about to happen. "Plumb Dumb," begins with samples of Hawaiian-like twangs over barely audible voices; over the unique samples are Fog's signature scratches and an acoustic guitar that builds tension that never gets released. Never gets released in the track, that is.
