Rightly Guided Thieves kick off Carnival at Bones Gate

By Jaime Padgett | February 9, 2005

If you walk into the depths of the Hopkins Center late at night, winding around the dark corridors towards practice room 29, a sweetly unique sound pounds through the closed door. Peering through a tiny window, one can see Billy Accomando '07, Rashid Galadanci '07, Patrick Handler '07 and Ben Selznick '07 jamming and producing tunes that the whole campus has come to recognize. This unique sound is that of Rightly Guided Thieves, the spectacular sophomore band that has enthralled Dartmouth students since last fall.

By Chetan Mehta | February 8, 2005

For Chinese-language film aficionados, the Loew film series at the Hopkins Center has Hong Kong cinema as the theme for this term. For the better part of the last 50 years, East Asian cinema has been synonymous with Japanese films.

Canada's Arcade Fire wrap up American tour in Boston

By Lindsay Barnes | February 3, 2005

Yes, it's wrong to stereotype, but goshdarnit, Canadians are such nice folks! They've contributed so much to American culture for so long (Dan Aykroyd, four-fifths of The Band, Molson, numerous cold fronts, the list goes on) that it's a wonder one nation could be so generous.

Harcourt shines on third album

By Caroline McKenzie | February 1, 2005

Explaining Ed Harcourt to the uninitiated is somewhat difficult. He isn't like any of the young male singer-songwriters familiar to the radio-listening American public, mainly because he doesn't turn out "pret-a-ecouter" tunes that will placate your grandmother. Instead he's closer to the sweetness of a good Richard Hawley track, with the playful exuberance of Jesse Malin's "Almost Grown." Or maybe more aptly, he has the under-the-radar indie rock brilliance of early Badly Drawn Boy recordings, but with production and instrumentation slightly more reminiscent of Coldplay.

Comedian boasts 50,000 facebook friends

By Jeremy Massler | January 28, 2005

There is something unsettling about thefacebook.com's premise -- about the process of inviting a person and listing him or her as your "official friend." It was only a matter of time before somebody took thefacebook to its extreme. Steve Hofstetter is a stand-up comedian, an alumni of Columbia University and head writer for Collegehumor.com.

Hood Museum celebrates 20 years

By Ann Marie Persaud | January 19, 2005

The Hood Museum of Art celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2005 with a year-long celebration. Since the official opening of the building upon its completion in 1985, more than 900,000 visitors from around the world have flocked to the museum, one of the largest art museums on a college or university campus in the United States. In commemoration of the museum's emerald anniversary, the Hood staff has planned several programs for the public and will focus on the impact the museum has had on the community since its inception. To kick off 2005, the museum will feature "Critical Faculties: Teaching with the Hood's Collection," featuring installations from the anthropology, art history, classics and studio art departments. The anthropology department's installation will feature figurative objects from Africa, a variety of ancestral and contemporary artworks from Papua New Guinea and Mexican and Central American tools and obsidian jewelry from the pre-colonial era. The art history department will focus on a museum exhibition from pre-modern and early modern times but with a contemporary twist.

DJ Spooky remixes classic film at Hop

By Meredith Fraser | January 18, 2005

It is well-ordered chaos -- scattered slapdash poetry set into carefully coordinated motion. Three screens show incendiary pictures from "Birth of a Nation" as a mix of hip-hop, classical and jungle music blast in the background.
