Wishes do come true: An interview with Bob Saget

By Colin Dugdale · Wednesday, Feb. 14,2007 10:58 p.m.

I've always felt a mysteriously deep kinship with Bob Saget. A cosmic connection. A spiritual bond so powerful it can bend certain metals. At first, I thought it was just a physical attraction -- an internal octopus of hormonal passion, swinging its wild tentacles of desire.

'Fearless' faculty hornist practices magic, discipline

By Michael Reschke · Tuesday, Feb. 13,2007 9:33 p.m.

What were you doing at 5:15 this morning? Hornist and IU Associate Professor of Music Jeff Nelsen was reading his own handwriting on a Post-It note he stuck to the snooze bar of his alarm clock. The question, "How bad do you want it?" stares Nelsen in the face every morning when he thinks about rolling over and going back to sleep. "It's all about being smarter than myself," Nelsen said. "And knowing my own tendencies and compensating for them in productive ways."

Brazil's bizarre sound

By Ethan Cirmo · Monday, Feb. 12,2007 9:13 p.m.

The Jacobs School of Music continued its new Brazilian Music Festival on Feb. 11 with a special guest lecture and a pair of concerts. Themed "Modern and Experimental Composers," this second installment in the festival's concert series dismissed any remaining preconceptions about Latin American music. American ears used to Latin music thick with rhythmic complexity and festive brass instead received a genre rarely heard by American audiences: modern and contemporary vocal compositions.

What is art?

By Ryan Brown · Monday, Feb. 12,2007 9:11 p.m.

It's Grammy and Oscar season, and you know what that means: a cornucopia of Justin Timberlake performances and accolades to all the hit movies of the year you haven't heard about until now. Yes, there are many reasons you should be averse to these tiring, marathon-style awards ceremonies, but for some reason, you just can't change the channel. You make predictions, you gasp in shock and you analyze the victors and why they should or should not have won the category. Repeat these steps about 20 times for a total of three to four hours.

Sad clown kills mime over trapeze artist at BCT

By Nick Mills and Nicholas Mills · Thursday, Feb. 8,2007 9:25 p.m.

A clown killing a mime is quite possibly the saddest thing in the world. It happened in the first "circus opera" adaptation of "Acic and Galatea" at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. The scene began with greetings from a mime, clown, bear, ringmaster and trapeze artist. It was, by all accounts, G.F. Handel's opera "Acis and Galatea" disguised as a traveling, big-top circus. Though not set up in an early 1900s tent, it might as well have been.
