3 MCs, but no DJ

By Brian Hettmansperger · Monday, Nov. 12,2007 9:03 p.m.

To create hip-hop music live on stage without a DJ or a looped sample might be unorthodox, but Davey Chegwidden, band leader for the Rhythm Roots Allstars, does it every night of the “Hip-Hop Live!” tour. The 10-piece band, which will stop at 9 p.m. today at The Bluebird as part of the tour, provides a unique experience for concertgoers.

Potpourri of Arts’ a cultural collaboration of music, dance

By Chelsea Merta · Sunday, Nov. 11,2007 9:53 p.m.

The word “potpourri” usually implies a diverse mixture of various objects, which have an underlying theme in common. “Potpourri” is typically thought of as a collaboration of flower petals, pine cones and other scented aspects of nature, but Saturday night saw a “potpourri” that transcended the sense of smell.

What is Art?

By Ryan Brown · Wednesday, Nov. 7,2007 9:05 p.m.

This past Saturday, I spent the day walking around Clinton, Iowa, knocking on doors and talking to the people about election politics. The purpose of this process, called canvassing, is to relate issues that each individual is concerned about to the candidate you are promoting. It sounds cult-like, I know, but the process of bringing politics to people one-on-one has been one of the most crucial elements of winning an election, and, surprisingly enough, has been a fundamental by-product of art throughout the ages.
