Say What?

By Alyson Brodsy and Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, Oct. 3,2002 1:15 a.m.

The IU football team gets a long-anticipated bye weekend this week. Last year, this break was a gift to the Hoosiers, who traveled to Madison, Wis. last year, and shocked, well, the world, by running all over the Badgers the following weekend. Next week, IU faces Wisconsin once again.

Elvis may be dead, but his music isn't

By K James Sward · Thursday, Oct. 3,2002 12 a.m.

What ever happened to rock and roll? I am talking about good, old-fashioned rock and roll, not any of the rehashed, cliché crap that record companies are churning out without listening to first. One could arguably say that rock and roll died in 1977 with Elvis. His new album, ELV1S , showcases many aspects of his artistry.

Multi-genre Tub Ring ready for Rhino's

By Jessica Palmer · Thursday, Oct. 3,2002 12 a.m.

Tub Ring isn't America's favorite new pop band yet, but at least the guys have goals. "We're trying to write Top 40 songs, we're just not good at it," frontman Kevin Gibson says.

Arie shows growth on Voyage

By Elizabeth R. Ross and Elizabeth Ross · Thursday, Oct. 3,2002 12 a.m.

India.Arie's "Growth" introduces and consistently describes the tracks that follow it on her excellent album, Voyage To India. That statement weighs more than it seems, considering the maturity of Arie's debut, Acoustic Soul. With Acoustic Soul, she described her sound and mood. Grooving soul grounded by polished, singer-songwriter folk, Arie's debut evoked an easy, earthy feel.

Dude, there is good music out there

By Tom Whalen · Thursday, Oct. 3,2002 12 a.m.

A really fantastic tour rolled into Chicago last Friday, and thanks to a wonderful little class called Z302, and this more wonderful little thing called "Iliad," I couldn't go. But, I'm digressing.

Killing your idols

By Michael Tapscott and Mike Tapscott · Thursday, Oct. 3,2002 12 a.m.

There was a time when I thought about Bob Dylan every day, all the time. It was like he was my father or my best friend, or my right hand. I used to walk around saying things like, "And the lightnin's a-flashing and the thunder's a-crashin', and the windows are rattlin' and breakin', and the roof tops a-shakin', and yer whole world's a-slammin' and bangin', and yer minutes of sun turn to hours of storm," with a straight face.

Guitar buying guide for the beginner

By Tom McMahon · Thursday, Oct. 3,2002 12 a.m.

Going into a brothel can be intimidating, even if you really want to try it. You need to know what you're looking for before you go in, and one should always remember the golden rule: you get what you pay for. So it is with guitars.

This 'Tuxedo' doesn't fit

By Parker Witman and Parker Wittman · Thursday, Oct. 3,2002 12 a.m.

When it comes to Jackie Chan movies, I'm generally inclined to cut them all the slack I can muster. There is no sense strolling into the theater hoping to see Academy Award fare. It's Jackie "Drunken Master" Chan and that's just not the point. Chan films exist because he exists and, in most cases, succeed only because he has his own brand, a charming mix of innocent humor, physical comedy and some serious one-on-20 martial-arts madness.

Inuit legend comes to life

By Parker Witman and Parker Wittman · Thursday, Oct. 3,2002 12 a.m.

I had almost forgotten why I love movies so much. In a time when remakes, sequels and regurgitations routinely dominate the Hollywood landscape, it's been more than easy to lose sight of the cinematic spirit and the very reasons, I hope, we all go to the movies. As an art form, film has the unique ability to completely transform the world around us, commanding, for those few hours, all of our awareness and emotion.

Futuristic album with quiet lyrics

By Andy Garrison · Thursday, Oct. 3,2002 12 a.m.

Snapcase, leader of the underground hardcore scene since the early '90s, attempts to reshape its thrash-core sound on its new album, End Transmission. It screams "concept album," almost literally, as front man Daryl Tabreksi's angry and foreboding lyrics guide you through the tale of a middle-class revolt in a controlling, oppressive society set 69 years in the future.

Mediocre beats make NAAM bomb

By -Daniel Minchella · Thursday, Oct. 3,2002 12 a.m.

With songs titles such as "Fo Sheezy," "Gangsta" and "Thugs," we know what to expect without opening the CD -- thugged-out street rap. NAAM Brigade certainly delivers. This is not always a good thing in today's music industry. Everyone and their brothers are trying to "make it big in the rap game," flooding the rap market with too many mediocre albums. But having never heard of NAAM Brigade, it's only right to give these guys a chance.

By Andy Garrison · Thursday, Oct. 3,2002 12 a.m.

One of the UK's first-tier electronic acts is back with a stylish new album and one fewer member to deal with. Following the release of former member DJ Emerson, Rick Smith and Karl Hyde of Underworld highlight the group's talent as a duo in its album, A Hundred Days Off.

"Swingers" emerged from relative obscurity back in 1996 to become one of the most beloved cult movies of our generation -- and rightfully so.
