Trio Mediaeval bring new grace to international repertoire

By Caitlin Kelly | April 3, 2007

"American Idol" has exposed us all to the horrors of the diva-inspired vibrato and those monstrous stretches of crooning that run through more pitches than Major League Baseball announcer's play-by-play. This weekend offered a break for those lucky enough to be seated in Rollins Chapel, where the Trio Mediaeval gave two performances unadulterated by pop "virtuosity" or distracting dramatics.

Ted Leo mixes old and new with varying success on 'Living'

By Chris Barth | April 2, 2007

On March 20, America's favorite vegan rocker Theodore Francis Leo, backed by his bandmates, returned to the indie-punk rock scene with his fifth album in eight years, "Living With The Living". Like previous records, "Living With The Living" combines punk grooves and brash guitar riffs with intelligent lyrics and interesting vocals to create a sound that, despite not varying greatly over the course of the album's hour-long run, manages to keep the listener engaged. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, who played at Dartmouth two springs ago, have managed to capture hearts and slowly build a fan base over their short existence.

Shoutmouth.com offers unique online music community

By Jilian Gundling | March 6, 2007

Editor's note: This is the second article in a two-part series about expanding music-related web services. The concept of Shoutmouth.com was born when Phil Frost '04 and Pete Kennedy, who graduated from Harvard in 2003, found that there was no music news site on the Internet that spanned every music genre. "We found the demand for music-related information to be huge on the Internet," Kennedy said.

CD-swapping site Lala.com caters to artists and fans alike

By Allison Ruderman | March 5, 2007

Editor's note: This is the first article in a two-part series about expanding music-related web services. Like any girl who grew up during the heyday of the boy band, I have a collection of old CDs that I wouldn't mind parting with -- groups like O-Town, Soul Decision, Dream, Lyte Funky Ones (LFO's full name, go figure) and the Spice Girls just aren't my idea of good music anymore.

Sculptor Brenda Garand to head studio art department

By Hilary Becker | February 28, 2007

Paul Park / The Dartmouth Staff Just as soon as Brenda Garand, newly appointed chair of the studio art department, offers me a seat in one of her ergonomic office chairs, I'm back on my feet again, examining the bookshelf full of student work that occupies one wall of her office. As Garand pulls pieces off the shelf, explaining the assignments for which they were created and the artists behind them, it becomes clear that she intends to maintain the studio art department's devotion to its students. "I want our department to be a place where students feel like they can explore," Garand said. Under her direction, it appears that the department's emphasis on exploration, visual possibility and dynamic engagement will continue to develop and thrive. Garand, who was named chair of the department this past summer, is a sculptor who works in fabrics and steel, though she also explores and teaches in other mediums.
