Kweli, Randolph offer fresh alternative to usual pop pap

By Scott Muir | April 4, 2005

On Saturday night, Programming Board provided a winning combination designed to appeal to the masses: Robert Randolph and the Family Band's soulful blend of blues, gospel, rock and country and Talib Kweli's intelligent, alternative hip-hop. After the organization passed on Wilco, one of today's best rock bands, in favor of the emo of Dashboard Confessional in the fall, it did much to redeem itself with the selection of Randolph and Kweli.

DFS seeks to satiate moviegoers' appetites

By Chetan Mehta | March 29, 2005

Nowadays, a trip to the theater is as much a culinary experience as it is a cinematic one. Armed with nachos, popcorn, soda, hot dogs and an assortment of candies, we watch our favorite stars bust their acting chops on the screen while we chow down in front of it.

Oopik's 'The Butcher's Bargain' draws stares in Hop

By Katie Van Syckle | February 28, 2005

"What is it?!" a brown-haired girl in Patagonia exclaimed with her face pressed against the glass, "I don't get it!" "Oh," she shrugged in exasperated distaste, "It's aaart." That's right folks -- Christo's saffron show in Gotham City maybe over, but for now, Dartmouth's very own Hopkins Center features the ever divisive, ever incendiary "Butcher's Bargain." "The Butcher's Bargain," by Krista Oopik '05 has received much attention in the past week.

England's Doves soar high on forthcoming album

By Chris Mah | February 21, 2005

Considering that Manchester-based indie phenoms, Doves, literally formed from the ashes of a burnt down recording studio, it comes as a fitting coincidence that the centerpiece of their latest album, "Some Cities," is an exhilarating, intoxicating anthem titled "Walk in Fire." The band -- twin brothers Andy (drums) and Jez Williams (guitar) and frontman Jimi Goodwin (bass and vocals) -- formed in 1998 after a studio fire put an end to the trio's previous project, a dance ensemble called Sub Sub. Seven years and three full-length albums later, Doves has emerged as the next icon of British pop rock with their unique blend of catchy melodies, tight guitar riffs, and honest lyrics. Doves has not exactly been prolific in recent years, following up their 2000 debut album, "Lost Souls," with a 2002 sophomore effort, "The Last Broadcast." Their three year hiatus, however, was undeniably productive judging from the quality of "Some Cities." During the recording phases of their newest album, Doves embarked upon a musical tour, ditching the lively streets of Manchester for more intimate locations across northern England, Wales, and the Scottish Highlands.
