Another hit-making machine to start her pop era off the heel of the Mickey Mouse Club (holla at Brit-Brit and JT!), Christina Aguilera is the next PYT to takeover MTV and excite teen hormones in 1999. She had already gained some attention with her song “Reflection,” featured in Disney’s Mulan, which highlighted her vocal talents that makes her stand out from the rest pop wannabes.

The Nasher Museum is keeping its selection fresh throughout the summer. In addition to Christian Marclay's visually stimulating Video Quartet, the on-campus art space will also be host 80 original photographs from Duke's Special Collections Library.

The Song: It’s hard to ignore how pretty young Ricky Martin is in his debut. The blinding smile, slicked-back hair, chiseled face. The exotic version of the Ken doll had already done the boy band thing (shout out to Menudo!) and was ready to bring the sex factor into American pop music. Okay, so the lyrics are still a long way from perfect (waking up in funky cheap hotels with girls who are into black cats and voodoo dolls is a little amateur), but at least “Livin' La Vida Loca” offers up a richer sound with trumpets and some guitar riffs. Even more impressive is this song was the first #1 hit to be recorded, edited and mixed completely in a digital format, moving away from the ol’ days of analog.
For those still around after finals, artist Christian Marclay will be giving a gallery tour and talk on his new exhibit, Video Quartet, May 7 as part of the First Thursday series at the Nasher Museum of Art.

Local indie favorites and Merge band the Rosebuds and special guests Midtwon Dickens come together for a benefit concert hosted by Golden Belt April 24 at 9 p.m. All net proceeds go to support Durham Arts Council. Tickets are $12 a pop, and those basking in the return of OnlyBurger can get there fix at the show.
The 76th American Dance Festival season, "Where Ballet and Modern Meet," is set for June 11 to July 25.
