By Natalie A. Trout · Thursday, Nov. 13,2003 1 a.m.

Last Friday, the IU men's basketball team barely pulled off an overtime win in their first exhibition game against Athletes in Action. Their two-point victory, 70-68, didn't come easy. "We probably should have lost the game by 15," IU coach Mike Davis said. "I see that now watching the tape."

By Jim Harper · Thursday, Nov. 13,2003 12:37 a.m.

It's good to be a Democrat in Indiana this week. Last week was election week, and it went well, but that isn't why it was a good week for Democrats in Indiana. That reason is Joe Kernan.

By JP Benitez · Thursday, Nov. 13,2003 12:37 a.m.

The world is not a scary place. Not a cruel place. Not a happy place. According to Candace Bushnell, "The world is a very, very commercial place." And I guess I shouldn't have expected any less.

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Nov. 13,2003 12:35 a.m.

Howard Dean is a straight-talkin' man. In an interview earlier this month with the Des Moines Register, Democratic presidential candidate Dean straight-talked just a little too much.

Christmas comes early with 'Elf'

By Alex Toombs · Thursday, Nov. 13,2003 12 a.m.

Sometimes Christmas cheer can come at surprising times from rather unexpected people -- Elf is one such example. Forget that it's not even two weeks past Halloween and that the picture stars hot comic of the moment Will Ferrell (big after streaking his way through the rollicking campus caper that was Old School) and is directed by Swingers/Made alum Jon Favreau. Elf's head and heart are unabashedly in the right place.

Fans of "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" will be elated to know that his foulmouthed, cigar-chomping puppet foil has finally been given his just due.

Teach your children the bass well

By C. Warner Sills and Doug Evans · Thursday, Nov. 13,2003 12 a.m.

In order to be a good musician, or a good anything for that matter, one must have a great teacher. In my early adventures with the bass guitar, I was very fortunate because I had the best bass teacher there ever was. He was the Mr. Miyagi of bass playing. It's not that he is the world's greatest bass player, and he's no Mr. Holland's Opus, but simply put, the man loves to play. And he made me love playing.

Against some fans

By C. Warner Sills · Thursday, Nov. 13,2003 12 a.m.

About six months ago, I picked up Crime As Forgiven by, an outstanding EP of raw angst (mainly political) as interpreted through an acoustic guitar and drums (no cymbals). Tom Gabel (guitar/ vocals/ songs) screams into a microphone and strums with all his might over a snare drum that marches better than Sousa. It was the stripped-down basics of song.

LFB Women to Rock

With the recent surge of women in rock, females are firmly establishing their position in music history. Singers such as No Doubt's Gwen Stefani, hip hop artists Lauryn Hill and Missy Elliott and Grammy winner Norah Jones are just some of the female musicians dominating the charts.

A children's movie based on the adventures of a cute little fish became the top-grossing summer movie of 2003.

Not just another Guitar Player

By Erin Revtyak · Thursday, Nov. 13,2003 12 a.m.

Even before the commercial success of musicians such as John Mayer and Jason Mraz, finding a young, struggling acoustic guitar player to listen to was as easy as finding a rapper with "Lil" in his stage name.

Celebrating LIFE

By C. Warner Sills and Ben Warden and Meghan Dwyer · Thursday, Nov. 13,2003 12 a.m.

The sign above the door reads "Closed temporarily due to illness." But if passersby only knew ... this store isn't just any store. It's TD's CDs and LPs -- a local record shop widely known for years as the center of Bloomington's local music scene.
