Both players were arrested Tuesday morning and posted bail.

Latest album has soul

By K James Sward · Friday, Aug. 31,2001 12 a.m.

Talent was one thing R&B chanteuse Aaliyah Haughton found early on. Unfortunately, a plane crash Saturday ended the 22-year-old's life before her prime, as her career in both music and film was taking off. In July, Aaliyah's self-titled third album was released, debuting at No. 2 on Billboard's Top 200 albums chart.

'Requiem for a Dream': a stark reality

By Tom Whalen · Friday, Aug. 31,2001 12 a.m.

A friend told me that I had to see "Requiem for a Dream." I didn't know what to expect, only that "it will disturb you." So, I was naturally intrigued last fall when I saw that it was playing at Showplace 11 in Bloomington. I saw it, and without a doubt, it was the most disturbing experience I have ever had at a movie.

Phantom pop sounds are Quasi's sword

By Jeremy Piniak · Friday, Aug. 31,2001 12 a.m.

Although probably more famous for their former band associations, Sam Coomes and Janet Weiss have been steadily forging their own musical identity with Quasi. While Weiss has served time with Sleater-Kinney, and Coomes was in Heatmiser with Elliott Smith, the divorced twosome have recorded five albums together since 1996. The Sword of God, the Portland, Ore., duo's latest, continues to build on the band's previous musical themes, with enough new experiments and variations to keep things fresh.

Costello attracts new and old fans with rereleases

By Daven Kolderup and Davin Kolderup · Friday, Aug. 31,2001 12 a.m.

Catalog sales of older CD titles are continuing to dwindle as Baby Boomers finally convert their LP collection to digital. And while it's likely there will always be college freshmen lining up to buy Bob Marley's Legend, you can also expect to see an ever-widening parade of spiffy re-releases advertising remastering, repackaging and the ever-popular extra bonus tracks. Elvis Costello gets his second turn on the re-release merry-go-round starting this month. Costello's early 1977-1987 catalog was originally reissued by Rykodisc in the mid-1990s. Now, after some of his older titles are falling briefly out of print, Rhino Records is again re-releasing his first 17 albums in groups of three. Instead of releasing them in chronological order, the groups of three in question are spread out over the periods of Costello's long and diverse career.

Reaching beyond

Friday, Aug. 31,2001 12 a.m.

Students strolling through Dunn Meadow next week will find a challenge awaiting them -- they'll be asked to "get disoriented." They'll find veggie burgers, punk rock and sex educators. They'll munch edamame and listen to political commentators and philosophers voice perspectives on a vast array of social issues. And they'll be forced to question their own thinking.

BloomingtonFest

By Katie Cierniak · Friday, Aug. 31,2001 12 a.m.

Sitting in a bright orange booth at Rocket's Pizza, they discussed their goal for Labor Day Weekend: to orchestrate the biggest BloomingtonFest ever to take over the streets of a not-quite-sleepy college town. But still, this town is one that needs a kick every once in a while to get it going.

Lonesome songs strike a story

By Frank Valish · Friday, Aug. 31,2001 12 a.m.

Buffalo Tom frontman Bill Janovitz has admitted his writing often revolves around themes of difference and alienation. Heck, he titled his basement recording area Lonesome Studio. Now Billy-blue is back with a second solo album. Always musically distinct from his other projects, Janovitz's solo work always takes "solo" to heart. Less overtly countrified than Lonesome Billy, Up Here mixes folk and quasi-country melancholia with a singer-songwriter's touch; one that had always been somewhat obscured by the rock guitar base of his better known band efforts.
