As a fan of the French band Air, and particularly of their last album, 2004's Talkie Walkie, I was excited to hear their latest album, Pocket Symphony. Unfortunately, the duo of Nicolas Godin and Jean-BenoArt Dunckel seem to have traded in electronic-textured pop music for meandering minimalist instrumentals and Jarvis Cocker guest appearances. The latter crime against music (unless you like Jarvis Cocker, in which case, ignore this comment), on the song ""One Hell of a Party,"" plods on interminably for four minutes with Cocker droning on about the ""burned-out husk of the morning"" after ""one hell of a party."" I found it insufferable; maybe you'd like it.

In his past albums, Say Hi to Your Mom frontman Eric Elbogen has been known to spill his angst into clever songs about spaceships and robots; however, on the band's fourth and newest release, Impeccable Blahs, he chose to move onto a slightly darker material. The liner notes explicitly state that ""Impeccable Blahs is a record about vampires."" However, they are ""not creepy goth vampires but rather people like you and me who happen to get their nourishment from drinking blood."" An interesting subject matter for a band that once specialized in detailing the angst of girls and video games, but it works well for them. Elbogen continues to write witty lyrics, this time using vampire tendencies as a metaphor for romantic human love, resulting in an album that is both fun and intelligent.
Sports editor Zach Kukkonen is wondering what's gotten into the water most general managers and athletes are drinking lately.'
Tourists can expect ""Great Moments"" in Wisconsin while they go-kart in Wisconsin Dells, fish on Lake Superior or visit the Milwaukee art museum. '
\Are you going to give me my calculus notes?"" Dina Marie asked the man who had just sexually assaulted her. He was about to let her out of his car onto campus. He had already handed over her purse after rummaging through it. She took her notes, which had been lying on the back seat.

he most important game in the Big Ten Tournament's first round as far as the Badgers are concerned is the No. 7 vs. No. 10 game, which features Michigan State and Northwestern. The Badgers play the winner Friday in Chicago at 1:30 p.m.'
San Miguel should be something special, or at least unique. All the signs are there: the fancy bottle, the crest, the fact that it's brewed in the Philippines, to name a few. But this beer is stolidly uninspiring.
The No. 6 vs. No. 11 team features another matchup of teams that have faced each other just once this season. If Illinois were to suffer a defeat at the hands of the Nittany Lions in the first round of the tournament, they would most likely miss the NCAA '
