Artist by day, bartender by night

By Danielle Paquette · Sunday, Aug. 29,2010 11:13 p.m.

It’s 2 p.m. and partly cloudy — the ideal time for Billy Graves to roll out of bed. After a busy night and busier morning of serving drinks and wiping tables, the 29-year-old IU alumnus wipes sleep from his hazel eyes — he’d managed six hours, this time — readjusts his signature mohawk and throws on a red Indiana shirt smudged with bright white paint. It’ll only get dirtier today.

Radiohead’s hotel room is too plain

By Dan Alten · Wednesday, Aug. 25,2010 11:04 p.m.

Where have all the rock star antics gone? Why have the musical giants of our generation left us with nothing but music, no myths to build legends upon, no stories of excess or debauchery to discuss in record stores or concert parking lots? It’s quite boring really.

By Rachel Trees · Tuesday, Aug. 24,2010 11:09 p.m.

It is that time of year for students to either move in for the first time or return to the Bloomington scene. However, while freshmen and transfer students will probably turn a blind eye to a new feature, returning Bloomington residents might notice a new addition to downtown and Kirkwood — banners sporting “Bloomington Entertainment and Arts District,” or BEAD.

Fashion column: Renting clothes online

By Keiara Carr · Monday, Aug. 23,2010 11:39 p.m.

Let’s be honest, we are a generation that refuses to be inconvenienced. I live in a world where I am allowed to buy books, order food and earn a degree without getting out of my bed.  Yet, the one question that I can never seem to Google myself out of is what do I wear?
