HIPHOP hits the heartland

By Amanda Hendy · Thursday, Sept. 25,2003 12 a.m.

The windows are down, a cool breeze counters the sun's heat and of course, music fills the air. It's a typical drive through Bloomington for Marquis Vaughn, IU alum and co-founder of the young Knock 'Em Dead Records, Inc. Only this particular day was Wednesday, the day Vaughn drives home elementary school kids from the after-school program where he mentors.

Return of the Grievous Angel

By by Isaac Edwards and Isaac Edwards · Thursday, Sept. 25,2003 12 a.m.

It was only this past summer when I discovered Gillian Welch. Quietly creeping away from the lingering smoke and flat beer shadows of a deserted corner in a cobweb bar, I climbed into my truck and took off for the backroads under a paper moon and teardrop stars. I was losing my girl. I was losing my friends. I was broke and without a job. All dogs within a five-mile radius of me were dead.

Taking it Outside

By C. Warner Sills and Doug Smith · Thursday, Sept. 25,2003 12 a.m.

Movies depict life. Lives emulate movies. As this dance would have it, this symbiotic relationship sometimes results in a depiction that is so dead-on that no matter where you catch up to it, you will ride it until the end.

Temptations deserve fighting chance

By C. Warner Sills and Jenny Kubiela · Thursday, Sept. 25,2003 12 a.m.

Tried-and-true plotlines and energentic actors make The Fighting Temptations a movie worth a matinee ticket. The Fighting Temptations tells the story of Darren Hill (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), a successful but conniving young advertising executive.

A deal with the Devil

By Neal Taflinger · Wednesday, Sept. 24,2003 8:53 p.m.

Leni Reifenstahl is dead at the age of 101. She is as widely praised for her artistic vision as she is condemned for her early collaboration with the Nazi Party. There has been much talk of how she will be remembered, and, to be sure, there will be much more. She herself waffled between denying any wrongdoing as a Nazi propagandist and admitting that the circumstances of her work were regrettable.

Hipsters and hillbillies: The evolution of 'Mr. Show

By -Alec Toombs · Wednesday, Sept. 24,2003 8:51 p.m.

For the six of you who actually read my column and the two of those six who can remember back as far as a year, you may recollect me writing something about Run Ronnie Run. Well, the film, which is essentially the bastard love child of comedic geniuses Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, has finally seen the light, albeit in direct-to-DVD treatment.

The only Feargal we have is Sharkey himself

By C. Warner Sills and Mike Ley · Wednesday, Sept. 24,2003 8:24 p.m.

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat?" You sure as hell can't beat these. The Undertones lived up to the biggest of teenage dreams, landing a record deal for their self-titled LP for $60,000 from Sire Records, touring and gaining respect as one of the best punk bands of the late '70s -- all before they hit 20.

Stereophonics don't 'Welsh' on heavy blues-rock sounds

By Virginia Clifton · Wednesday, Sept. 24,2003 8:21 p.m.

At first listen, the new Stereophonics disc immediately made me think, "These boys are British." Despite the fact that I was correct in my assumption, the Welsh rockers set themselves apart from the archetypal brutish guitar and raw vocals that frequently seem to be exported from overseas.
