Dick Vitale, current ESPN analyst, tweeted earlier today that Bob Knight will not be in attendance at the IU Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame induction ceremony slated for Nov. 6.
Although Tim McGraw’s newest album, “Southern Voice,” seems to suggest that he has compiled an assortment of lyrical ballads that touch on his southern roots, this album focuses more on human identity than regional affiliation.
The mad-cap, frantically-kicking-and-dodging imagery of Jack Kerouac’s writings inspired some of the greatest literary/lyrical minds of the last half-century (from Alan Ginsberg and Tom Wolfe to Bob Dylan and Conor Oberst), testing them to constantly reconsider their own self-imposed boundaries of written creativity.
After 20 years, Converge is still pissed off. Few bands in the current metal scene have been as influential as Converge or as consistently unflinching in their sound.

People ask! Thus, the following paragraphs discuss the three shows you should absolutely be watching, even if it means going back and catching up on DVD immediately. Plus: a must-see newbie hits the airwaves this week.
I might think pumpkin is great now, but I didn’t always like it. In fact, my first encounter with pumpkin as a food and not as a candle-lit holiday decoration came when I was six, and the end result was a lot of vomiting.

The band Lotus played to an enthusiastic crowd at the Bluebird Nightclub this Tuesday. Lotus, a band that formed while attending Goshen College in Indiana, played their usual instrumental mix of funk, jazz and rock. Accompanying them was Oxford, England’s own “The Egg.”
