Help a brother out

·

Recently, I happened to stumble across some rejected Ann Landers letters, notes that she did not deem worthy enough of her reply. Let's just say I found them on the side of the road somewhere.

The pro-spin zone

·

Note: Fear not. It is not my intention to turn the IDS Weekend into a heated political forum, but an election year such as this makes it hard not to throw certain issues out in every forum possible.



NO SHORT FUSE ON THIS "BREAKER!"

Like a 'Tyrannosaurus:' All muscle, no brain

Among the tripartite of garage-rock "the" bands, Sweden's the Hives were always the closest to the achingly-trendy bands they were compared to -- the Strokes don't sound like Television and the Vines don't sound like T. Rex or Nirvana, but the Hives do in fact sound like the Stooges.



It's 'Dynamite!'

·

This movie is dynamite! The laughs come early and don't stop until the end. What "Napoleon Dynamite" lacks is a major conflict.
