There's a Ben Folds album due out next year; hold back your shouts of joy for a moment (the rejoicing will come later). For now there is darkness. These past 10 years of album producing and LP monotony have waned on Ben. He smirks of having to promote an album, "...Then I have to pose naked at the piano, and really, I'm not a piece of meat."
A clash of political oppositions met Saturday at the Sheraton Hotel in Durham as U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft arrived to drum up support for Patriot Act I and II.
Trey Anastasio and Phish must cast a large shadow. Bassist Mike Gordon must need a tan. Badly. That's one way of explaining his first four-year-in-the-making solo release, Inside In. Phish fans all around, take a deep breath now.... Ready? It's been a long summer.
Jason Mraz is the new kid, and whenever he's on the block he's got that damn rooster and red hat with him. He's also probably summer pop as good as it's been in years. His new album, Waiting for My Rocket to Come, showcases Mraz?s rhythmic vocal ability. What's more, his songs are earnest enough to put some substance in front of guitar licks you?ve already heard before. But the best part is that he seems quirky and self-deprecating enough to know that he's not some pop confection. He's on tour this summer with other artists, notably Liz Phair, playing relatively small venues. Compared to the acts going down at your nearest Verizon wireless amphitheater, Mraz is a pleasant change definitely worth checking out.
For a brief half hour Thursday, traffic at the University suddenly resembled Lower Manhattan at rush hour. Anti-war protesters joined together arm-in-arm in a human wall, thwarting all traffic and bus flow to and from West Campus.
A wave of shouts sliced through the gentle drumming of rain Thursday morning as almost 400 protesters gathered on the Chapel Quadrangle, raising their voices against the war in Iraq and the reverberations of the bombs in Baghdad.
For weeks now, Brightleaf Square has been the focal point of Durham opposition to potential war in Iraq. Now that war has become an actuality, the face of protest in Brightleaf has become a 24-7 constancy.
If the war began tomorrow, where would you be? What would you do? For many opposing a United States-led war against Iraq, that question is already answered. The day after the declaration is made and the invasion begins, hundreds will descend at noon onto the Chapel Quadrangle to express their dissent regardless of work, business and class.
Some tent for tickets, others tent for peace. Monday morning, members of Students Against the War in Iraq pitched tents on the Chapel Quadrangle, forming a place they affectionately call Peaceville to raise campus awareness about the war many fear to be almost imminent.
Two days after the Columbia disaster, experts from Duke and around the country are offering their opinions on what went wrong and, more importantly, discussing the future of human space exploration.
A teach-in and discussion designed to initiate the DukeDivest campaign sparked into a fiery debate last night at the Love Auditorium as audience members shot back and forth with panelists over the issue of Israeli divestment.
The hardest thing in the world is just to say something. Because when we try to, meaning is thrown in, as is morality; some sort of glint or twinge that evokes a purpose. What good was there in saying "that" and what sort of meaningful addition did "this" bring to our life? But there are certain things that to do any rightful justice to, it can only be said and nothing more. And for The Pianist, Roman Polanski absorbed this notion fully.
DukeDivest will make its debut on campus tonight with a teach-in and discussion in Love Auditorium in the Levine Science Research Center at 7:30 p.m. The group is the first formal involvement of Duke students and faculty members in the Israel divestment movement that gained significant momentum last May when a group of Harvard University professors inaugurated a petition to divest from Israel.
A dynamic and lively group discussed the future effects of American policy and the current state of affairs at the third and final panel discussion of U.S.-Iraqi relations Wednesday.
Although slated as a probing discussion of "ethical and social issues surrounding the human genome," genomics pioneer Craig Venter's speech delivered a chronicle of the genetic revolution that pertained more to science than to ethics in Friday's Boyarski Lecture in Law, Medicine & Ethics.
In the shadow of President George W. Bush's intense push for war with Iraq, a group of prominent panelists convened Thursday afternoon to discuss dissent against the policies and actions of the American government in the post-Sept. 11 world.
