Let's talk about sex

By Chelsea Merta · Wednesday, June 4,2008 4:50 p.m.

Morrison Hall is located in the middle of IU’s campus, resting between Goodbody and Sycamore Halls. Behind the large oak trees that shade its lawn and up the stairs that entice its guests sits the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, which takes up three of the building’s floors.

From sport to saga

By Derrick Carnes · Wednesday, June 4,2008 4:26 p.m.

When considering something as significant and seemingly omnipresent as a subculture, it’s hard to think in terms of beginnings, and yet it is true that everything has one.

Filter's new anthem

By Tyler James Perry · Wednesday, June 4,2008 4:23 p.m.

Industrial rock band Filter shines with the release of their fourth album, although no expectations are defied. While the heavier songs on the album don’t measure up to past work, they contain quality enough to appease fans of the past two albums.

No Kaleidoscope needed to recognize this is good

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, June 4,2008 4:17 p.m.

If you’ve experienced their live show, it’s obvious that Underoath has always been a band that deserved to have a live album. Their energy and presence on stage is almost unmatched within the scene and Survive, Kaleidoscope depicts all that perfectly.

The King of R&B still on the throne

By Bryan Payton · Wednesday, June 4,2008 4:14 p.m.

While Usher’s sixth album may not sound as "grown up" as he claims it to be, Here I Stand showcases the undisputed King of R&B’s ultra-smooth voice and undeniable talent for rushing listeners to the dance floor.

Make Believe seems only to be getting better with age.

Defining reality

By Caleb Jackson-Boys · Wednesday, June 4,2008 4:08 p.m.

There are few bands in the world that can combine midwestern sensibilities, postmodernism, and Wurlitzers to create an accessible brand of music. Chicago’s Make Believe are doing just that and succeeding. Their new album, Going to the Bone Church, though a short listen, is still a great one.

Jason Pierce sings of his near-death experience in Spiritualized’s new release.

Who's got spirit?

By Alex Benson · Wednesday, June 4,2008 4:03 p.m.

It’s not the kind of album that you can pop into your car CD player and go for a cruise, it’s the kind that you listen to in your room….by yourself.  Check out the new Spiritualized album “Songs in A&E” and see what years of drug abuse and depression can do to a guy.

1997 wows audiences and fashion designers with its new album On The Run.

Running toward something good

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, June 4,2008 3:47 p.m.

On The Run is a pleasant surprise from 1997 that includes some really good work by every member. Their sound is nothing outrageously original, but the high-quality dueling male and female vocals definitely make it worth a listen.

Scott Speedman strikes the typical “look behind you!” pose.

'Stranger' than fiction

By Doug Evans · Wednesday, June 4,2008 3:44 p.m.

"The Strangers" seems near genius in its simplicity, and yet stretching that simplicity out into a two hour movie was obviously a clumsily met challenge for first time director Bryan Bertind. 

Kristin Davis, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kim Cattrall reprise their roles in the ultimate chick flick.

Success and the City

By Rachel Skybetter · Wednesday, June 4,2008 3:39 p.m.

In the chick flick of the century, the girls are back at it again, but this time they’re a little bit older and not much wiser. There’s a reason millions of women are flocking to see this movie, and it’s got nothing to do with the acting.

By Allison Tyra · Tuesday, June 3,2008 5:22 p.m.

IU has a lot going for it – a beautiful campus, excellent library resources and a world-renowned school of music. But one thing the campus contributes not only to its students but also to Bloomington as a whole is the IU Auditorium, whose upcoming season undeniably has something for every audience member.
