Changing clothes, changing lives and changing homes. Incoming students and their parents were introduced to IU Wednesday -- student move-in day -- with sweltering heat. As they carried mini-fridges, TVs and piles of clothes into their new rooms, sweat dripped from their foreheads.

Val's First Phishin' Trip

By Val · Thursday, Aug. 28,2003 12 a.m.

I went to my first Phish concert this summer. Knowing very little about the band and wearing closed-toed shoes, I stuck out like a sore thumb. I came away with a genuine respect for the band, if not the full-blown obsession that seemed to drive many of those in attendance.

Neptunes' clones diverse and dominent

By -Daniel Minchella · Thursday, Aug. 28,2003 12 a.m.

If you haven't already realized the Neptunes exist at the pinnacle of popular music's development so far, that they are both indicative and emblematic of now, then you probably never will. What happens in The Neptunes Present…Clones is Pharrell, Chad and company saying "look what we can do" and then proceed to show us that they can do nearly everything.

This Bazooka's bubble won't burst

By Mia Partlow · Thursday, Aug. 28,2003 12 a.m.

The rock revival is still in full force and while it's easy to criticize all the bands hopping on the New York of '78 bandwagon, there is merit to be found in some of these bands. You guessed it -- the Star Spangles is one such example. Their album, Bazooka!!!, has an energy and enthusiasm that is hard to find in any genre of music.

Moore's masterpiece invades your home

By Jake Bilinski · Thursday, Aug. 28,2003 12 a.m.

I have issues with Michael Moore. Ever since his Academy Awards acceptance speech where he turned his podium time into a selfish, anti-war/anti-Bush rant seemingly for the sake of being controversial, I've felt like boycotting this film. Granted, the Awards are mostly political and generally fail to honor the true 'bests,' but they're still something sacred to me.

Wav

By Dan Lines · Thursday, Aug. 28,2003 12 a.m.

Call it what you will -- country music, Texas country music, or Seattle grunge --it just doesn't matter to Pat Green. Formed from his Texas roots, the unique blend of music Green has developed is honest, strong and truly unique unto him. He is quite possibly, and often labeled as, the most famous country music singer that you have never heard of. All of that seems to be on the verge of changing, however, as Green branches out onto a national scene, including a show at the Bluebird Sept. 4.

Trappin' some Southern

By -Daniel Minchella · Thursday, Aug. 28,2003 12 a.m.

With slow beats and laid back rhymes, the South often gets criticized for the lack of quality lyricists. This is where T.I. throws up his dukes and presents his new album Trap Muzik. The 22-year-old Georgian prides himself with elaborate lyrics, while maintaining a heavy Southern style.

Avoid "Marci X" by any means necessary

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Thursday, Aug. 28,2003 12 a.m.

Apparently, Hollywood decided recently that any time a white person says words like "gangsta," "wack" or "phat," the audience will burst out laughing. How else can one explain "Head of State" or "Bringing Down the House?" Well, it's not funny and hasn't really been funny since Barbara Billingsley spoke jive in Airplane! 23 years ago.
