Banshees
bring banter back to Brendle
By
Taylor Kennamer
The semester is finally winding down, and with only a couple of days
to go before finals, everyone knows the drill: pull a few all-nighters,
scramble madly to finish that European history paper, move your sleeping
bag to the sixth floor of the library, and start main-lining lattes
from Shorty’s. But in the middle of all the stress, don’t
forget to take a break and check out the Lilting Banshees’ “In
Search of a Corner X,” which is another university tradition that’s
just as much a part of the holiday season as Christmas shopping and
chugging eggnog.
Lesser-known
CDs worthy of attention
By
Paul Bullock
Any true music fan can testify to the incredible variety of acts on
the scene right now.
With an ever-increasing number of great bands to keep track of, even
the biggest fan may find a few CDs missing from his or her collection.
So as you compile your holiday wish lists, here are a few CDs that you
may have missed, this fall but that definitely deserve a place in that
stocking:
'MiDi'
combines beauty, technology
By
Aaron Bokros
Imagine that you had the ability to wave your hand and make sound. Or
by undulating your torso, you could produce music. The entirety of your
body is devoted to controlling the production of one tone, one song,
one chord.
'Man
Who Wasn't There' a technical masterpiece
By
Jennie Loughridge
From the makers of Fargo and O Brother, Where Art Thou? comes a new
dark comedy, The Man Who Wasn’t There. The Coen Brothers, who wrote
and directed the film, present a complicated story of adultery, blackmail
and murder set in the 1940s. The movie, shot with color negative but
printed in black and white, is one of the more interesting films of
the year, but lacks any sort of emotional connection with the audience.
Relationships
face uncertainty during break from campus
By
Brandy Jones
So
you found love this semester. Beautiful. The last week of classes has
rolled around and the only free time you have is spent in the library
working on your eight papers, six presentations, and third nervous breakdown.
Brooks
takes final bow with 'Scarecrow'
By
Elizabeth Turnbull
Standing in the cold wind and rain of South Padre Island, Texas during
his television concert special, Brooks took his final bow and said goodbye
to a career that has shaped the face of country and pop music alike.
A legend in his own right, Brooks leaves behind one strong, final album
that is sure to be counted among his best.
Living
Parables express faith through theatre
By
Aubrey Lombardo
In today’s sensationalized world of Hollywood drama, acting hardly
seems to go hand-in-hand with religion. Historically the two have been
very closely connected. The first dramatic pieces evolved during the
Middle Ages out of spiritual plays presented in churches. Additionally,
many famous themes for movies and television plots have actually stemmed
from stories based on those from the Bible. The Living Parables have
sought to renew this connection between the world of acting and spirituality
with their original theater performances.
