Yorn gets trapped in 2nd-album rut on 'Day I Forgot'

By Jessica Spradling | April 30, 2003

With "Day I Forgot," Pete Yorn fails to avoid the dreaded sophomore curse. This second effort from this singer/instrumentalist who is a little bit Ryan Adams, a little bit Coldplay and a little bit John Mayer is a good album, but all of the songs could easily have been on his debut. "Day I Forgot" is the second release on Columbia Records for this New Jersey native and Syracuse University graduate.

Wilco plays 'Foxtrot' favorites in Vt. show

By Jessica Spradling | April 28, 2003

Jeff Tweedy is working on his abs; he's working on himself, and it's working. Whether you think "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" was a sellout, a country-boy's "Kid A" or the best album of 2002, Wilco puts on a great show, and there concert in Burlington last Friday was no exception. My Wilco fandom began rather serendipitously back in the fall of 1997, when I was a mere 13.

Les Yeux Noirs mixes joy, sorrow

By Holly Shaffer | April 28, 2003

In the spirit of Django Reinhardt, who played the Russian gypsy tune from which the group took its name, Les Yeux Noirs infused Spaulding Auditorium with Jewish-Gypsy dance on Saturday night with inspired klezmer music. French for "The Black Eyes," Les Yeux Noirs was found-ed by the violin-swooning Slabiak brothers, who must have souls as deep as their group's name implies.

Tyler '92 talks about love, hook-ups and 'Friends'

By Rebecca Leffler | April 25, 2003

Every Thursday, Dartmouth students from Amarna to Zimmerman put their studies on hold and flock to the nearest television set to catch the latest episode of "Friends." Last night, we watched one of our own on the small screen as Aisha Tyler '92 brought her humor and charm to NBC's hit sitcom. Tyler became the first female host of E!'s "Talk Soup" in 2001 and has moved on up to the big screen with roles in "The Santa Clause 2" and next year's "Never Die Alone" with David Arquette. She is currently starring as one of the few non-white love-interests on "Friends," a sexy paleontologist named Charlie who comes between Ross and Joey after Ross invites her to a rooftop party for the cast of "Days of Our Lives." Tyler took the time to talk with The Dartmouth via Blitzmail about her college memories and hopes for the future. The Dartmouth: How has your time at Dartmouth influenced your career? Aisha Tyler: I think because of the history of Dartmouth, of what it was, and what it is, people who go there are natural self-starters.

On their 1977 sales-record shattering album "Rumours," Fleetwood Mac proclaimed, "I'm never going back again." Over a quarter-century later, that lyric holds true for the group.

White Stripes get surreal in Boston

By Lindsay Barnes and Carl Burnett | April 22, 2003

By Lindsay Barnes and Carl Burnett Walking into Boston's Orpheum Theater Sunday night, as vintage Hank Williams played over the speakers and surreal black and white Betty Boop cartoons were projected onto a screen above a stage draped in red, it was immediately clear this was going to be a rather odd concert. But nothing less should be expected from the ex-husband-and-wife-posing-as-brother-and-sister duo known as the White Stripes while they're busy blazing trails in American music.

Collis gets down with the Leaf

By David Archwamety | April 22, 2003

Playing guitars, drums, bowed bass, a mandolin, a tambourine and a penny-whistle, American Music Award winners Carbon Leaf enlivened Collis Commonground Friday night with a high-energy performance of Celtic-roots rock music. They kicked off their set with the mandolin-driven "Wanderin' Around" and didn't let up until nearly two hours later with an encore performance of Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train." Then they took time to talk to The Dartmouth about their fledgling career. The Richmond, Va.
