Losing your head in a fast food joint

By Jessica Halverson and Jesscia Halverson · Thursday, July 24,2003 12 a.m.

From fast food workstyle roots, Ugly Duckling whips its collective job experience up into a "Meatshake" for the alternative rap group's newest release, Taste the Secret. A chunky puree of concept and random tunes, the album is too disorienting and fails to hit the spectacular plot line of a Prince Paul album. The main story is about the fast food joint "Meatshake," provider of liquid meat, its blockhead workers and customers and the veggie shop across the street, headed by an airy yippie.

Mya mixes R&Band porn

By Michael Tapscott and Mike Tapscott · Thursday, July 24,2003 12 a.m.

I'm sure that I have healthy sexual attitudes, but Mya's album managed to make me blush even when I was by myself. Of course, this is the standard coming out party for our nation's overprotected young divas. On her third album, Mya intermittently explains that she really is not that innocent and describes (in great detail) how and with whom she's having sex.

Gray too inconsistent for her own good

By Michael Tapscott and Mike Tapscott · Thursday, July 24,2003 12 a.m.

Macy Gray has been by far the most interesting female voice in the neo-soul movement. She is able to surpass contemporaries Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill, the loathsome Alicia Keys or Erykah Badu with sheer freakiness. Gray is an awkward woman who Jim DeRogatis once described as Betty Boop after too many bong rips. Her main asset is that her voice, a kind of smoky scratch, is quite an original instrument and is put to good work with a gift for diction and alliteration similar to Bob Dylan.

Two 'Train's pass in the night

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Thursday, July 24,2003 12 a.m.

Everyone surely wishes they were someone else at some point. In a world where no one is easily satisfied, maybe you could imagine yourself inhabiting someone else's existence. Maybe you would just want to do this for a day or so to see what it's like. Maybe you would like to make it permanent.

For once the title says it all

By Abhi Kumar · Thursday, July 24,2003 12 a.m.

This movie attempts to be an intriguing and suspenseful mystery thriller but fails miserably. Hell, it's more than that: it's a hot, steaming pile of pretentious crap. Bogged down by wooden acting, stilted direction and a poor script, this movie makes me wonder why anyone in their right mind would want to pay money to watch it. All the movie does is start with a basic story and then keeps adding plot twists and turns until it turns into a mindless piece of trash.

Atkinson plays Bean, no wait, Johnny English

By -Paul Straw · Thursday, July 24,2003 12 a.m.

Johnny English is Bean. Well, not exactly. While technically "Johnny English" is a different movie, and though he talks more, Rowan Atkinson plays relatively the same part as always.

Pro-Bryant Web sites idiotic, evil

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Wednesday, July 23,2003 9:55 p.m.

This is going to get ugly. Still almost two weeks before his next court date, Kobe Bryant's "supporters" continue to attack the woman accusing him of sexual assault. Tom Leykis, an L.A. talk radio host who is syndicated to 60 stations nationwide, apparently considers himself a moral authority. On his program, he named Bryant's accuser on the air. He just spit it out.

By Zack Eldridge · Wednesday, July 23,2003 9:50 p.m.

In an attempt to solidify its success in the future, IU has garnered a very talented recruiting class for 2004-05. The headliners of that class are D.J. White, a 6-foot-8-inch, 233-pound forward from Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Josh Smith, a 6-foot-9-inch power forward, who played at McEachern High School in Powder Springs, Ga., last season.

Student loans change hands

By Micah Sturr · Wednesday, July 23,2003 9:45 p.m.

Your money is still there; you just have to run a different maze to get it. IU-Bloomington has changed from being a direct lender of Stafford and Plus loans to having Sallie Mae act as guarantor of the University's nearly $120 million loan portfolio. Many students and parents already have received e-mails from Sallie Mae detailing the new loan application and renewal process, but the transition hasn't been flawless.
