Alms for everyone?

One day last week, I walked past the library, and a young man in a red checkered button-up ran through the crowd on the steps and approached

Wrong all along

·

All my life I’ve been told that a preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with. What’s that all about? Not ending sentences with prepositions is a very

Politics, never right

·

If you missed the Indiana Public Interest Research Group debate last Tuesday, you missed three College Democrats and three College Republicans battling it out on issues

Chinese conundrum

·

It was supposed to be a great arrangement. China, the country with arguably the darkest human rights history in the world, won its bid to host the Olympics and thereby a chance to prove how far it has come in recent years. The rest of the world hoped that with this chance to play host to the games, China would soften its tyrannical ways. Unfortunately, as it turns out, people aren’t getting everything they want.

·

After students were maced at Lambda Chi Alpha’s DMX concert Wednesday evening, the IU Police Department is investigating who is responsible for spraying mace into the crowd.



John from Cincinnati - The Complete First Season

John from Cinicinnati - The Complete First Season

·

Although the HBO show spills over with ideas about intriguing topics, “John From Cincinnati” doesn’t follow through with answers to most of them. Even armed with a great cast and hair-raising questions, the show couldn’t be saved by its own awfully slow pace. No season two, John; back to Cincinnati you go.

A loss for the Tigers, a win for Memphis

·

Four hundred and fifty miles away from Memphis and 1,157 miles from the NCAA Tournament championship game in San Antonio, I sat helpless, watching my hometown Memphis Tigers lose in overtime. After an incredible season that ended with a 75-68 loss to the Kansas Jayhawks, I couldn’t believe it was over and that I wasn’t even home to commiserate with the rest of the city.


Alvin and the Chipmunks

More fun than a mouth full of nuts

·

It’s not fine cinema, but if you liked the actual cartoon series, the movie aptly recreates the juvenile capers and high-pitched whines of the chipmunk brothers. You know how you see the chipmunks and squirrels scampering around campus trying to hook up with lady squirrels? It’s as funny as that, minus the sex.


Moby: Last Night

Moby

·

When Moby gets the manic-atmosphere of the club scene right, Last Night is a solid album. Yet, his foray into tranquility toward the album’s latter half, things slow down a bit too much. This leaves the album feeling much like a night out: Some things you’d like to remember, others you can’t wait to forget.


Theory of a Deadman: Scars and Souvenirs

Breakup Album

·

If you find yourself listening to rock radio a lot, you may consider Scars and Souvenirs one of the best albums of the year; but if you are tired of bands like Nickelback and Hinder, this release will seem jaded and cliche. There’s nothing extraordinarily original here, but Theory of a Deadman has made a fun ride through and through.


Anti-Flag

Anti-Flag

·

Punk revivalists Anti-Flag continue their anti-establishment campaign with The Bright Lights of America. Wait, anti-establishment from RCA? Is that possible? Head-scratching, yes. But don’t let the RCA tag fool you; these guys refuse to hold back their displeasure with the powers-that-be, while delivering more fist-pumping, chant-along music.



Joe Satriani: Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock

Still weird, still great

·

When he released his debut album, Not Of This Earth in 1986, Joe Satriani somewhat hinted at the extraterrestrial weirdness of his work.
