'Thank you' to Dido for latest album

By -Kehla West · Thursday, Oct. 9,2003 12 a.m.

Dido's new release, Life for Rent, might have been called No Angel II, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just another CD full of Dido doing what she does best. Life for Rent is full of mellow pop songs with just-edgy-enough beats, performed with Dido's trademark breathiness. But this Dido is slightly more mature, more developed as a songwriter and more comfortable being sexy. She's not as squeaky-clean as she was on No Angel.

Lessons learned from a skanky reality show

By Natalie A. Trout · Wednesday, Oct. 8,2003 7:30 p.m.

Since June, twice a week my nights have been drama-filled with hook-ups, break-ups, parties and unexpected twists. No, I haven't been partying at the local bars and I don't belong to a sorority. Fox's "Paradise Hotel" has become an addiction to many on this campus. My roommates and I almost cried when the scandalous last episode aired last Wednesday.

Film remains 'unscarred' after 20 years

By C. Warner Sills and Jake Bilinski · Wednesday, Oct. 8,2003 7:29 p.m.

As Tony Montana sits at his throne, face buried in a mound of cocaine, gunfire rings out into the night. His sister dead, his wife gone and his empire collapsing, Tony arms himself to the teeth, firing a grenade into the path of unsuspecting assassins as he warns, "Say hello to my little 'fren!'" At this point, if you're not cheering, you don't have any business watching movies.

Since the inception of NBA Jam in 1994, Midway sports video games have earned a reputation for their over-the- top, arcade-esque style, tweaking the rules to make games more fast-paced, easier to play and, quite simply, just more fun.

So you think you can beat Tiger Woods, huh? EA Sports would love to see players try -- that's why it came out with the most realistic and fun-filled golf video game ever.

Kid Dynamite takes 'shot' at hardcore fame

By Neal Taflinger · Wednesday, Oct. 8,2003 6:42 p.m.

Kid Dynamite was a one-trick pony. They wrote short, fast, loud punk songs with a slight melodic edge that owed quite a debt of gratitude to guitarist Dan Yemin's previous band, Lifetime.

This ain't heavy, it's my 'Brothers'

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Wednesday, Oct. 8,2003 6:39 p.m.

The music industry decided around 1997 or so that electronica would be "The Next Big Thing." They even coined the term "electronica." The whole movement flopped, though, and no, the flop is not some new dance. For example, Prodigy was harsh and uninclusive, and Fatboy Slim couldn't make a hit no matter how much he sold out.
