WIUS AM 1570 Pick of the Week

Who thought up the retro thing? I'm not qualified to even make a guess, although I'm sure some cultural theorist has or will discourse on the subject at length.

Needles & Pins

Freshman Heather Couch got her belly button pierced two years ago during spring break. Like many teenagers, she says getting her belly button pierced with her closest friends was a great bonding experience to help her remember their crazy time in Florida.

Beastie Boys

Diversity marks 43rd Grammys

Joni Mitchell

Fuel burns red-hot on Indy tour stop

'Moesha' needs mo' comedy

Deftones

Destiny\'s Child

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Sweet November

Heaven Sent

The truth is obviously out there

'SSX' displays PS2's many talents

I have found perfection, and it's called PlayStation2. Well, at least until the newest offering from PlayStation comes out. After pining away, this lucky reviewer was finally able to land her hands on a PS2.
