Fake interviews for fun and profit

By Daven Kolderup and Davin Kolderup · Wednesday, May 30,2001 9:07 p.m.

Last week it was revealed that an Esquire magazine profile of rock and/or roller Michael Stipe contained numerous intentional fabrications by the author, apparently intended as some sort of post-modern "deconstruction" of the celebrity profile. "How marvelous," I thought as I read the news. "In the past, I have written articles by contacting sources and obtaining facts, like a sucker. Now, here in the space-age 21st century, all bets are off!" I then set about to write my own profile of Mr. Stipe, which appears below. Please note that I did not actually talk to him, or indeed anyone, for this profile. None of the information in the article is even the slightest bit true.

Üt Haus Jazz Band releases 2 CDs

By Daven Kolderup and Davin Kolderup · Wednesday, May 23,2001 10:36 p.m.

For some folks, jazz is in the blood. Once it's got you, it doesn't let go easily. You have to hear it, you have to play it. You can't stay away for long. For three high school buddies from central Indiana, that has been the case for more than 30 years. Now, those same old friends, who have been playing together since high school but performing publicly with other local musicians since 1990 as the Üt Haus Jazz Band, are celebrating their past so they can get on with the future. They're releasing their first two CD-Rs this week -- Best of the Basement and alt.basement, a compilation of music recorded in their rehearsal space in 1992.

Angelou inspiring, controversial

By Rachel Kipp · Thursday, April 12,2001 12:03 a.m.

Maya Angelou is the reason I decided to become a journalist. No, I didn't appear on an edition of Oprah's Book Club to become enlightened by the author herself. Actually, Angelou became a part of my life for the exact opposite reason.
