Hanover may boast culture, but where is the art?

By Christopher Moore | October 12, 2001

In light of the "Hanover" theme this week, I had hoped to review local art galleries. Unfortunately, Hanover has none. Hanover does have a branch of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen (next to Rosey Jekes), where one can purchase crafts including wooden and ceramic bowls and kitchen accoutrements, some silky formless clothing, and beautiful but insignificant cherry furniture.

'Scrubs' provides have-seen TV

By Kelly Swartz | October 9, 2001

A sitcom must be considerably striking to warrant the merit of college students. After all, they must give up their studies and numerous other abundant social options for 30 minutes to an hour each week, in exchange for zone time in front of the TV.

New material dominates Counting Crows performance

By Mark Sweeney | October 8, 2001

The Counting Crows rocked Leede Arena Saturday night, treating the capacity crowd to a sizeable number of new tunes to go along with some, but not all, of the group's old standards. At 8:00 p.m., the crowd suddenly came to life as lead singer Adam Duritz appeared on stage to introduce the opening act, the Actual Tigers. The Actual Tigers, a five-piece group, began with what later seemed as a curious selection for an opening number -- a mellow, flowing song that made an apparent attempt at achieving Pink Floyd's sonorous, enveloping sound.

Latest Garbage lives up to name

By Davey Archwamety | October 4, 2001

When Garbage produced their third album, "Beautiful Garbage" they didn't want to produce a replica of their previous releases, as many bands seem to do. Most of the album was written over a brief period of time, but that didn't prevent Garbage from attaining their goal. "I was able to come up with stuff on the spot much easier and much more comfortably than I had in the past," lead singer Shirley Manson said in the band's bio. Band member Butch Vig explained Garbage's most recent sound: "Let's see how far we can sonically go off with this." And they go far.

Emmy Awards offers new tone, familiar nominees

By Rebecca Leffler | October 3, 2001

For nearly two weeks, the news monopolized the small screen and television became the most important thing in the world to both those searching for their loved ones among the missing and those interested in what the President and his men were going to do next. As a consequence of this full coverage of the "Attack on America," however, nearly all new programs set to premiere were postponed and television's biggest event, the 53rd Annual Emmy Awards, was pushed back by three weeks, marking the longest delay in Hollywood awards-show history.

'Don't Say a Word' worth talking about

By Abiel Acosta | October 3, 2001

"Don't Say A Word" is a psychological thriller based on the novel by Andrew Klavan. Michael Douglas, starring as Dr. Nathan Conrad, plays his usual role of a wealthy guy with everything who gets pushed over the edge.

Lichtman's '21 Small Paintings' presents a challenge

By Christopher Moore | October 1, 2001

Susan Lichtman's exhibit of mostly recent oils on linen, "21 Small Paintings," shows in the Hopkins Center's Upper Jewett Corridor (the hallways on either side of the Hinman mailboxes) through the middle of October. Lichtman's dark interior scenes display poorly in this less than museum-like setting (especially on field-trip days for local elementary schools), so at first they might remind one of earlier, vaguer Pierre Bonnards dragged through the mud (no offense meant -- pretty mud, I mean). Bonnard does not deserve this comparison, and in further analysis the comparison does not capture much of the sense of Lichtman's oeuvre.

'Strange' days indeed for Amos

By Karen Zook | September 27, 2001

Ask just about anyone what they think about Tori Amos, and -- assuming they have heard of her at all -- they will express either devotion or antipathy.
