This Is It

The King of Pop’s truest form

By Doug Evans · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 5:31 p.m.

It’s as if Michael Jackson foresaw what was in store for him when he named his tour: “This Is It” would either be his final curtain call or he would die trying to put on the greatest show of all time – sadly, it was the latter.

Taylor Swift

Fearlessly talented

By Danielle Rindler · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 5:25 p.m.

Let Kanye West say what he wants, but Taylor Swift still kicks ass. After capturing the sympathies of millions of young women with her 2008 album, “Fearless,” Swift is back at it again with the album’s Platinum Edition.

Swell

A Swell return

By Austin Morris · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 5:20 p.m.

Break-up records are nothing new, but few seem as emotionally genuine as The Swell Season’s “Strict Joy.” Glen Hansard & Marketa Irgolva, who became a couple while filming their reality-blurring indie film hit “Once” (which won them an Academy Award for the song “Falling Slowly”), broke up at some point during the creation of “Strict Joy.”


Nolan soars solo

By Cory Barker · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 5:17 p.m.

As one of the “punk” or “emo” scene’s biggest heroes, John Nolan’s first solo venture has been highly anticipated all year. And just as he did with Taking Back Sunday earlier this decade and Straylight Run a few years later, Nolan has delivered something vastly different from anything he’s done previously.

The Prisoner

The original (and better) ‘Prisoner’

By Brad Sanders · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 5:11 p.m.

With AMC’s miniseries remake of the seminal 1960s British television drama “The Prisoner” set to debut next week, the folks at A&E Home Video have decided to re-release the entire original series – which will be nearly impossible to top.

BSG

There’s no plot to this ‘Plan’

By Thomas Miller · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 4:54 p.m.

“Battlestar Galactica” ended its run as one of the most critically acclaimed sci-fi shows in recent memory. To fill in some of the mythology blanks and tide fans over until the premiere of sister show “Caprica,” the SyFy has given “Battlestar” fans “The Plan.”

Creed

Two ways to take it

By Samantha Kirby · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 4:45 p.m.

From hypnotizing guitar riffs and anticipation-gathering drum beats to ballad-heavy lyrics, Creed has brought it all to its new album “Full Circle.” It took seven years for this group to come together again, and perhaps surprisingly, the album is definitely different from past efforts.


Proggy, chuggy and synthy

By Thomas Miller · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 4:37 p.m.

“Misdirect” is a great word to include in the title of the new Between the Buried and Me record. Though it follows the same direction as 2007’s widely acclaimed “Colors,” “The Great Misdirect” is six songs of progressive metal that veers wildly from one genre to another on every track. Between the Buried and Me have forged a career out of these genre-hopping shenanigans and thankfully that continues here.

Tegan

Sisters stick to winning formula for sixth album

By Danielle Paquette · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 4:30 p.m.

Two years after “The Con” delighted ears, sister act Tegan and Sara deliver another dose of heady, unadulterated emotion that, like sunlight, both warms and sears.“Sainthood” might have sprung from the tear-stained pages of an angsty teen’s diary: touching, melodramatic and composed with an inhibition that can only be fostered by a small, metallic lock and carefully hidden key.

Life work

Edie is 75. She still serves your coffee and scrambled eggs. She can't afford to quit her job at Wee Willie's.

Customer service fuels business

By James Huddleston · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 12:38 a.m.

Amid a languid economy marked by a trend toward thriftiness rather than materialism, some stores have still managed to succeed – or at least avoid bankruptcy.

Dylan

Dylan’s politics compel crowd

By Rachel Krasnow · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 12:23 a.m.

At the IU Auditorium on Monday, there was no blaring music, no multimedia video clips, no flamboyant costumes and no special effects – just Bob Dylan’s black fedora hat, raspy vocals, soulful harmonica and classic rock tunes.
