Have you ever wanted to switch your boyfriend or girlfriend for someone else's? Ever wanted to see what life would be like if you had made a different choice about going to college or getting a job? Ever wanted a second chance at anything at all -- the chance to rewind your life and see if a certain change would make it all different? Playwright J.M.
Apparently the American music industry holds strongly to the belief that any Valentine's Day compilation must be saturated with Elvis and Dean Martin tracks, or else it won't sell.
Winter Carnival is going totally sweet: you met this hot girl from Smith, and you're really into her, and she's the odds-on favorite to be named this year's snow queen.
Despite its reputation, Winter Carnival is not all about the icy outdoors. For those seeking a warm alternative, live performances and video screenings are offered, the highlight of which is Winter WhingDing. A long-standing Carnival tradition, Winter WhingDing will be hosted by the Dartmouth Subtleties, an all-female group, Friday at 8 p.m.
This Saturday the Barbary Coast Jazz Ensemble will perform in Spaulding Auditorium at 8 p.m. with guest artist Arturo O'Farrill, a forerunner of Latin piano and the bandleader of the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra at the Lincoln Center. Rather than pretend to write this article from a neutral perspective, I will be honest: I am the pianist of the Barbary Coast and over the last few weeks I've had the opportunity to play the charts to be performed this Saturday.
In its storied history, the English port city of Liverpool has exported its fair share of great music to the world.
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.
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.
When the Oscars are announced on Feb. 27, Clint Eastwood's latest gem, "Million Dollar Baby," will step into the ring with four other heavyweight pictures vying for the coveted Best Picture award.
After many months of grueling rehearsals, forced abandonment of friends and even food to sing and dance their hearts out day after day, the Dartmouth Glee Club finally got the chance to strut its stuff.
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.
Anthony Shears seems like the average Dartmouth junior: he wears a giant jacket, wool cap, backpack and carries his laptop under one arm.
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.
The concert the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra presented in Spaulding Auditorium this Friday past was unusual for several reasons.
Six luminaries of the contemporary music world convened at the Hopkins Center last Saturday for an evening of innovative and elegant Latin Jazz.
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.
I have a bone to pick with people who call music like this "pop." If pop stands for "popular music," Graham Coxon's new album, "Happiness in Magazines," is not pop because it's just not catchy enough.
After a brief hiatus at the end of Fall term, a revamped Friday Night Rock will kick off Winter term this Friday with a show featuring Mates of State, the San Francisco-based husband and wife duo making waves on the indie rock scene. The show marks a dramatic turning point for Friday Night Rock. "We've modified our focus this term for Friday Night Rock," said general manager Monica Morrison '07.
