Campus Foundations

By Matt Demo · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

There is a point to architecture. It is sturdy and strong. Amid the changing world, architecture remains. At IU we have lost Herman B Wells and most recently Bobby Knight. But one thing has not changed: our buildings. They're the same as they ever were.

\'Beau travail\' has a certain \'Je ne sais quoi\'

By Chris Sikich · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

In the strobe-lit, mirror-endowed empty corner of a discotheque, the pieces of a man\'s existence crash to the ground one by one in the calculated chaos of his dance moves that accompany Corona\'s techno-pop work \"Rhythm of the Night.\" All the stagnant conformity of the French Foreign Legion life he has led has been peeled away to reveal the inner insanity of his loneliness.

No such luck

By Laura Berger · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

In the new film "Lucky Numbers," playing the Pennsylvania state lottery can be not only dangerous but insanely painful to watch. The star power of John Travolta and Lisa Kudrow as well as the famed directing of Nora Ephron can do nothing to help move this film along.

\'Blair Witch 2\' lacking

By -Alec Toombs · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

Cashing in on the love-it-or-hate-it cultural phenomenon of last year, "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2" is an interesting yet highly flawed horror flick and a cynical marketing ploy.

Even dorks have to get their fix

By -Alec Toombs · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

For many a single and soon-to-be-single young and slightly dorky man, last Thursday was a historic date. No, some third-world regime wasn't overthrown, and no major/beneficial legislation reached our Supreme Court. Thursday saw the launch of the highly anticipated Playstation 2 game system, and luckily enough for me, my roommate happened to procure one.

Local band\'s new album as solid as \'Wood and Steel\'

By Jason Gaddis · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

The Deric Rush Band is further proof of the range and depth of the Bloomington music scene. The blues-mixed-with-classic-rock sound is a great listen every time. The music is new, but it has the awesome, true feeling most often associated with the rockers of days past.

New Less Than Jake album less than stellar

By Pete Smith · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

Borders and Boundaries marks Less Than Jake's 77th release and fifth full-length album of original material. It is quite an accomplishment for a band that has only been around for eight years and has released most of its material on independent labels. The band's latest album might be an example of how all this time and non-stop touring has taken it toll.

Guru holds his own with guest singers on \'Jazzmataz Streetsoul\'

By Laura Berger · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

Usually when a CD is showered with guest vocalists on every single song, one must proceed with caution. It is a frequent sign that the singer cannot pull his or her own weight. However, Guru's Jazmatazz uses these guest vocalists efficiently, and his soulful style is not overshadowed.

City Lights brings Tati masterpiece \'Playtime\' to Ballantine 013

By Chris Sikich · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

If Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton would have successfully survived up until this point in cinema, it is easy to think this is what they would have created. Arguably Jacques Tati's ("Mr. Hulot's Holiday") masterpiece, "Playtime" transports Monsieur Hulot (Tati himself) through the chaotic reality of a French metropolis as he attempts to keep an appointment.

Life in the clothed lane

By Stacey Palevsky · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

While posing nude, True and Pugh serve as an inspiration to artists. But in their everyday life, nudity takes on dimensions unknown to a flat canvas.

The Naked Truth

By Stacey Palevsky · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

Twenty pairs of eyes stare in your direction, intent on memorizing the curl of your lips, the wrinkles on your brow, the curve of your shoulder. You feel a cold breeze against your back. Shivering, you realize the tiny goose bumps that appear on your skin result from being completely naked. If you think this is your worst nightmare, think again.

Closing the chapter on adolescent angst

By Jeff Piniak and Jeremy Piniak · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

It all started back in 1993. I remember watching MTV and seeing this funky multi-colored swirl of a video come on. The soaring high-pitched guitars matched the high-pitched vocals of the lead singer. "What the hell is this?" I remember thinking to myself. That was my introduction to the Smashing Pumpkins.

Dance Marathon: Burning the midnight oil

By Joseph S. Pete · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

Sleep deprivation -- an affliction that costs the nation as much as $100 billion annually, has been linked to 100,000 auto accidents a year. The crippling fatigue it brings is so much more than statistics. But a college student, aggrieved over the loss of a friend, began a legacy of vigil that makes insomnia honorable for one weekend a year.

Aesop\'s lyrics \'Float\' above the rest

By Greg Locke · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

Hip-hop's metaphorical king, AesopROCK, has a lot to say on his first label-supported album, Float. The 20-track LP offers some of hip-hop's most interesting lyrics to date. Float's production has its ups and downs, but overall, the beats prove to be a perfect soundtrack for Aesop to confuse us with.

'Vance' shoots par

By Martin Tsai and Martins Tsai · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

Robert Redford's latest film, "The Legend of Bagger Vance," is exactly everything you expect it to be. It is unlikely that anyone will be disappointed by it, while no one will be surprised by it either. In other words, "Bagger Vance" is "Good Will Hunting" meets "The Horse Whisperer" and "Ordinary People." You can see every generic formula and cliché coming from miles away while watching this film.

Nonpoint not bad

By -Alec Toombs · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

South Florida metal band Nonpoint made a pretty decent debut with its freshman release Statement. Unlike many of its metal compatriots, Nonpoint can actually harmonize and, for the most part, exceed the clichés of incoherent lyrics, over-bearing guitar riffs and the angsty B.S. that so many other metal bands are rife with. Sounding like a hybrid of 311 and the Deftones, Nonpoint exudes a smooth yet ruffled sound.

Clowns

By Joseph S. Pete · Friday, Nov. 3,2000 12 a.m.

"Shhh, it's a dead body in my trunk. Wanna see it? F**k around and you\'ll be it." That's right, Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope are back -- back and lamer than ever. The shock-rock rap duo Insane Clown Posse just released its latest album, Bizzar, which fails artistically on a number of levels. Poor spelling is the least of ICP's woes. Then again, that's something of a given -- it would be hard to say Insane Clown Posse has a lot going for it in terms of band concept. Granted, rock isn't known for a rich intellectual tradition. Still, the psycho ninja clown schtick -- it really can't get any more inane.
