Last month I bought some last-minute tickets to a Cake concert in Denver, a two-hour drive from my current residence in Winter Park, Colo. My friend Nick is also a fan of the Sacramento-based band that's always referred to in the media as "quirky," so I invited him along. The show was memorable, and the night as a whole was altogether more so -- and not for good reasons. By way of explanation, I present the following chronology:

"If you don't come up here and dance for this next one, we're not gonna play," Anglique Kidjo warned the audience near the end of her performance in Spaulding Auditorium last night.

Twelve days ago I traveled to New York City for the CMJ Music Marathon, a kind of combination of indie-music conference and giant music festival put on by College Music Journal. I have to admit that the main attraction for me was not the discussions and panels, which ran all day for three days and addressed topics from music -- sharing software to the Latin music market to making it as a music journalist.

The opening track from The Strokes' debut full-length, "Is this It," begins with a few seconds of weird, fast-forwarded guitar, soon decelerating into nothing.

The New Hampshire seacoast is ground zero for a citizen-led revolt against a new statewide property-tax law.

Judging from past experience, "Gorillaz" is an album that should never have been made, by a band that should not exist. That said, it's pretty good.

"When we first started playing at the bar down the street it was just hipsters scratching their goatees," Cake singer John McCrea said in a 1998 interview.

"Everything I like's a little bit sweeter, a little bit fatter, a little bit harmful for me," Rufus Wainwright sings in "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk," the outstanding album opener from his sophomore release, "Poses." The song itself is a good example of the kind of guilty pleasures Wainwright sings about, the kind that abound on this complex but catchy neo-folk-pop record.

One day in the spring of 1999, Jethro Rothe-Kushel '03 stood in a post office in Los Angeles agonizing over two postcards. If he mailed one, it would confirm his attendance the next year at a school where he knew he would fit in, a place that just felt right: Oberlin College.

Along Vermont state route 110 in South Royalton sits a large, hand-lettered sign: "Impeach Jeffords," it reads.

In recent interviews, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has implied that the recently released "Amnesiac" and last October's "Kid A" are two quite different records. This comes despite the fact that the tracks from both albums were culled from the same recording sessions.

It's 11:59 p.m. on New Year's Eve, 1999, in the Portland, Maine's State Theater. Rustic Overtones singer Dave Gutter, halfway through a long, sweat-drenched set, doesn't bother telling his band to stop the music, but instead starts yelling the obligatory countdown on top of the current, unstoppable beat.

G. Love & Special Sauce have always been a bit of a paradox. They're a blues band, but they're also a rap group. They're white boys who revived an old black blues record label called Okeh. Their songs tend to alternate in subject matter between two utterly different themes: equality and social responsibility on one hand, and the more traditional blues and rap topics of sex, partying and romance on the other.

Judging by the frequency of articles in local newspapers about school violence, it would be easy to assume that it's a widespread phenomenon in Northern New England. But there is conflicting evidence on the matter: while some school officials have noticed a rise in the number of school bomb threats, both New Hampshire and Vermont fall below the national average in school weapons violations.

As of late America has been fortunate enough to enjoy a mini-resurgence in quality British pop. Several excellent British bands have garnered at least limited recognition stateside, and they have fast become critical darlings. Among the best known of these bands are Coldplay, Travis, Doves and Badly Drawn Boy.

Although significantly fewer students applied to Dartmouth this year than last year, the Student Life Initiative does not appear to be a cause of the five percent drop in application numbers. Instead, a wide range of other factors may be to blame.

With the unexpected death of Professor Susanne Zantop, Dartmouth has lost a well-respected scholar, a true believer in the power of individuals and a friend to students and faculty alike.

October 3 saw the American release of an acclaimed British album, "The Hour of Bewilderbeast," the full-length debut from a man who calls himself Badly Drawn Boy. BDB -- presumably no relation to The Dartmouth's own Badly Drawn Girl and Hastily Rendered Boy -- is really Damon Gough, a lad from Manchester, a talented singer and multi-instrumentalist who has been called "the British Beck."
