Walker provides outstanding blues

By Ryan Whirty and Ryan Wirty · Thursday, Aug. 1,2002 12 a.m.

Over the first nine tracks of In the Morning, Joe Louis Walker deftly careens from one type of blues to another. From the Latin-tinged opener "You're Just About to Lose Your Clown" to the echoes of Louis Jordan on "Joe's Jump," to the inspired gospel of "Where Jesus Leads," Walker displays a mastery of practically every type of blues known to man.

'60s soul revisited

By Michael Tapscott and Mike Tapscott · Thursday, Aug. 1,2002 12 a.m.

Solomon Burke was one of the original soul music pioneers, with early influential singles like "Cry To Me" and "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love." Unfortunately, like many other great voices who have had to rely heavily on producers, patrons and songwriters, he was passed over for younger and more hip models.

Public Enemy returns

By Brian Haney · Thursday, Aug. 1,2002 12 a.m.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Chuck D is back with a new Public Enemy album, the provocative Revolverlution. It's a bizarre project, featuring eight new Public Enemy songs and a handful of old tracks with new backing music created by fans. The group continues their tradition in true form, bringing a strong voice of social conscience and a forum for pertinent social issues that demand attention.

Yeah baby! 'Goldmember' shagadelic

By Seth Forster · Thursday, Aug. 1,2002 12 a.m.

Not-so-secret agent Austin Powers returns to save the world from himself in "Goldmember," but is more than likely to save the world from this summer's poor excuses for comedies. While not as funny or clever as the previous Austin Powers films, "Goldmember" was definitely one of the funniest movies I've seen in awhile... unless you count "Crossroads."

They're older than your parents but they still rock

By Ryan Whirty and Ryan Wirty · Thursday, Aug. 1,2002 12 a.m.

As soon as the Rolling Stones announced their 40th anniversary tour, a friend from my undergrad days scurried to the Internet and managed to pick up one ticket -- for $300. On top of that, I think the show is in L.A., which means that by the time he's done, he will probably have shelled out well into four figures to see four 60-year-olds creak around for two and a half hours.

'Storytelling' somewhat fractured

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Aug. 1,2002 12 a.m.

Acclaimed writer/director Todd Solondz's latest film, "Storytelling," met mixed reviews upon its release this past winter, and justifiably so. While Solondz retains the glibness and sick, sardonic wit of his previous films, "Welcome to the Dollhouse" and "Happiness," "Storytelling" ultimately lacks bite, and in some ways, serves as a cowardly apology for his earlier works.

A Summer full of Weekend

By Ryan Hildebrandt · Thursday, Aug. 1,2002 12 a.m.

So this summer pretty much blew. Nothing exciting or noteworthy happened at all. And, despite my plans to put something exciting and noteworthy in this magazine, that didn't happen either. Most of this year's highly anticipated summer movies didn't live up to the hype. "Star Wars Episode II" came and went with half the fanfare of the obviously worse predecessor "The Phantom Menace."

Springsteen lights up Jersey shore on 'Today'

By Alyson Brodsy and John Curran · Wednesday, July 31,2002 11:51 p.m.

ASBURY PARK, N.J. -- The sun was shining. The surfers were riding the waves. The beach and boardwalk were packed. Matt and Katie were in bare feet. The Boss was in his element. And his fans -- some 10,000 of them -- were in hog heaven. Glory days, indeed: Bruce Springsteen headlined a "Today" show broadcast Tuesday from the hard-luck Jersey shore city where he made his name, performing live on a program that showcased some of his home state's greatest hits. Springsteen, 52, played an acoustic set in Convention Hall to warm up, then returned with his nine-member band for a miniconcert that was carried live on "Today." The appearance coincided with the release of "The Rising," the new CD from Springsteen and his E Street Band.

Faculty discuss, debate effect of new corporate reform bill

By Garv Machhar · Wednesday, July 31,2002 11:34 p.m.

A major accounting firm convicted of obstructing justice. A leading brokerage caught misleading its clients. Arrogant chief executives falling like flies. Huge corporations tumbling into bankruptcy. Business pages that reflect crime stories. "The events that occurred during the last six months is just the beginning of other corporate frauds to be uncovered as the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and Congress prepare to broaden and deepen their investigation," IU corporate finance professor Shreenivas Kamma said. "It is just that the magnitude of the effect won't be so huge."
