Getting To Know...

By Mark Sweeney | May 14, 2003

Following in the footsteps of such journalistic luminaries as Mike Wallace, Barbara Walters and Ed Bradley, The Dartmouth's Mark Sweeney catches up with the big names on campus and asks the questions that others have too much professionalism or integrity to ask.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs: yes, no, maybe

By Carl Burnett | May 13, 2003

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are a band that's designed not to be ignored. You can't ignore a band whose singer, Karen O, alternately channels Joan Jett, Betty Boop, Frau Farbissina and Jenna Jameson.

No 'Holes' in this kids' movie

By Rebecca Leffler | May 9, 2003

As I settled into my seat and tried to block the screams and cries of excitement from next door's screening of the new "X-Men" flick, I thought to myself, "What am I getting into?" The film opens with a shot of a huge pile of dirt and the first line is -- and I quote -- "Barfbag!

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.
