That's what it's there for

By Tony Sams · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 1:08 a.m.

OK, I admit in hindsight there were a few (20 or 30) times a few weeks ago when I really should have just swallowed my pride, gotten over my fears and gone to the IU Health Center. I had what appeared to be a cold or a dead fish caught in my sinus cavity or something. I don't really know. I get sick easily in autumn, because I have seasonal allergies and the actual germs sneak into me.

Transferring the skills

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 1:06 a.m.

Last February, freshman Daryl Pegram of the IU men's basketball team decided to transfer to another school once the spring semester had ended. Pegram had played in only two of the team's 21 games due to knee problems. IU coach Mike Davis said he respected his decision and wished him the best.

Givin' it up for the high school set

By -Kehla West · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 12 a.m.

Think trucker hats, crowd surfing and an average attendee age of 15. Yep, it's an All-American Rejects concert. AAR, along with special guests Hoobastank, Ozomatli and Diffuser, performed Saturday at the Murat Egyptian Room as part of the Nokia Unwired Tour 2003.

STIMULI a sexual stimulus

By Jennifer Whalen · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 12 a.m.

What do sexual fantasies, thousands of condoms and a costume contest have in common? They'll all be offered at STIMULI, an erotic attire event where people can divulge in a liberating and informative atmosphere about sexuality and sensuality.

Many bands still Young at heart

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 12 a.m.

Maybe it's just natural to see things through the prism that you want to see. If the only band one has ever heard is the Beatles, then a lot of what one listens to thereafter will sound inferior. If the only band one has ever heard is Limp Bizkit, then one probably will never want to listen to rock music again.

The Fire Theft keeps it Real

By C. Warner Sills and Brian Reid · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 12 a.m.

Anyone who claims to be an underground music fan from the mid-'90s until the present is likely to have heard of Sunny Day Real Estate. Whether the association with them is based on their formal connections to the Foo Fighters or with the actual music itself (Sunny Day released the definitive emo album of the '90s, 1994's Diary), these guys will undoubtedly go down as a band to anticipate for years to come.

Death Cab's indie rocks 'trans'forms listeners

By C. Warner Sills and Brian Reid · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 12 a.m.

Death Cab For Cutie has an uncanny knack for writing (and I hate to use this word) cute, perfect little indie pop songs. Through four albums, they never stray too far from their formula, but expand enough each time to keep the music fresh.

No one will cry when this dog is put down

By -Paul Straw · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 12 a.m.

Somebody should put this dog to sleep. Good Boy! is a story of essentially one joke repeated in as many ways as possible. When Owen (Liam Aiken) gains the ability to understand dogs, viewers get let in to every single possible dog joke and pun imaginable. Guess what? Poodles are snooty and prissy. Also, those tiny little wiener dogs? Yeah they're nervous.

'Cruelty' belongs in the Clooney bin

By Jennifer Whalen · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 12 a.m.

Intolerable Cruelty centers around a matrimonial lawyer named Miles Massey, played by George Clooney, and a man-eating wife named Marilyn Rexroth, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Back in 'Stereo' after death

By C. Warner Sills and Mia Partlow · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 12 a.m.

An Instant O In The Universe, Stereolab's first release since the passing of bandmate Mary Hansen, the band creates an EP that, to be honest, falls a little flat. There are a huge amount of good things that can be said about the record, however.

I see dead people, and they suck

By C. Warner Sills and Jake Bilinski · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 12 a.m.

I want this hour and a half of my life back. Sadly, we can't always have what we want. Instead I'd like to propose everyone avoid this movie like the wretched cinematic toilet paper stain it is.

Ludacris needs mouf-to-mouf resuscitation

By Natalie A. Trout · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 12 a.m.

Ludacris went all out with the chicken and beer theme for his newest album. The CD is wrapped in plastic that resembles a dirty South tub of chicken. The actual CD jacket lists the songs under "Nutrition Facts."

Portrait of a Sensitive Brooding Artist...

By C. Warner Sills and Katie Fox · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 12 a.m.

Pete Yorn comes off as a sensitive and brooding rocker. But how would he describe himself? "Sensitive and brooding," he says laughing. The sensitive and brooding New Jersey native says he's family-oriented, fiercely loyal and a connoisseur of comedy.

Drive through traffic for 'Italian Job'

By -Kehla West · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 12 a.m.

The DVD release of The Italian Job is just like the movie itself -- big, loud and fun. The movie, although not critically acclaimed, is a nice return to a summer release just as the weather gets cold. Moreover, the 45 minutes of special features truly make the DVD.
