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.

By Lindsay Barnes | April 24, 2003

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.

By Mark Sweeney | April 23, 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.

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.

'Phone Booth' answers the call

By Hanna Putnam | April 8, 2003

In Joel Schumacher's latest film, cell phones in Manhattan are like BlitzMail accounts at Dartmouth -- a requirement, a habit and a means of communication that hides our voices behind a faceless wall of technology. The film takes place entirely in midtown Manhattan, land of the cell phone-gripping consumer, the raucous prostitute, the wide-eyed tourist and the last standing phone booth in all of New York City. Doomed to be torn down in T minus 24 hours, the Bell Atlantic booth must first deliver to the chosen citizen a call from hell -- or at least a call from a voice that needs to stay in nightmares and out of reality: "If you hang up, I will kill you." And we're off on a tense, rapid, and tightly fastened ride through the trials, tests, wits, confessions and redemption of one man.

Kronos continues to push the classical music envelope

By Carl Burnett | April 7, 2003

David Harrington may be a 53-year-old classical violinist, but before he leads the Kronos Quartet onstage he's likely to admonish the group in the following way: "Let's kick ass." "We always kick ass," nodded cellist Jennifer Culp, seated in the lobby of the Hanover Inn last week.

Ku Na'uka tells a complex tale

By Holly Shaffer | April 4, 2003

"To meet others is to be astonished at the differences and then to try to search for the similarity," Japanese theatre director Satoshi Miyagi claims, "and then at the end to be astonished at the similarity." Miyagi leads Ku Na'uka, the Japanese contemporary theater company that staged a production of the innovative Kyoka Izumi's play "Tensho Monogatari" ("The Castle Tower") in Moore Theater last night and Wednesday. The company's productions are based on bunraku, a type of Japanese traditional puppet theater where the lines are delivered by a narrator and the actions by a puppet, separating movement from language.

'View from the Top' doesn't ever get off the ground

By Lindsay Barnes | March 31, 2003

Billed as a light comedy, "View from the Top" is the latest in a genre I like to call "diet comedy." Like light cream cheese or low-fat chips, diet comedy bears somewhat of a resemblance to actual comedy, but it's watered-down and not nearly as enjoyable.
