By Nick Desai | October 5, 2004

I'm going to go out on a limb here and advance the oft-debated contention that if there were devised a grand artistic sequence of musical deeds that needed to be accomplished, remaking Steve Miller's surreal anthem "The Joker" as a hip, psuedo-dance song would not have been scheduled in the year 2004.

Interpol returns with second album

By Carl Burnett | September 28, 2004

Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard recently suggested that Interpol should have spent less time touring last year and more time writing the songs on "Antics," the group's second album. That's hardly a surprising comment from Gibbard, who is known for lyrics that are witty, even precious.

Hilton has a mind as simple as her life

By Jaime Padgett | September 23, 2004

The steamy details of that sex tape, behind-the-scenes dirt on walking the famous runways of Milan, what it's like to party with rock gods and movie stars, and, of course, what it feels like to be filthy rich: that's what the reader expects to get when they delve into Paris Hilton's new book, "Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose."

The Displaced Theater Company's summer production, consisting of four one-act plays tied together by original monologue, is set to run on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the garden, weather permitting. The plays will follow "one convoluted but interesting train of thought throughout the whole performance," according to Cole Entress '06, one of five actors.

Vivid action, paranoia mark 'Candidate' Remake

By Sarah Givner | August 12, 2004

"The Manchurian Candidate" -- a remake of an identically named film from 1962 -- is an unsettling thriller that plays on our rabid fascination with conspiracy theory, political corruption and mind control. The film is characterized by an overwhelming sense of paranoia, a feeling sustained throughout the piece that wreaks havoc on both the protagonist and the audience alike.

Students plan for Collis art show to benefit Costa Rica

By Mark Herman | August 3, 2004

Students working with the International Humanitarian Foundation to help raise money for a small Costa Rican community will unveil the pictorial story of its ambition in an art opening Thursday night in Collis. The 13 original oil paintings by prominent indigenous Costa Rican artist Fran Vazquez, which have been hanging on the walls of the Collis Cafe since Friday, are part of a children's book, which will be published and sold in the local area to benefit the Cabecar community of Lower Chirripo in Costa Rica. The pictures tell the story of a young indigenous man who leaves the mountain village in search of fame and fortune, only to return to the values and the lifestyle he knew as a child. "It's about being able to hold onto your past and how important that is while at the same time striving for something new.
