It was bound to happen eventually.
Arab Strap's brooding dirges are not ideal music for manic depressives. Fresh from the subconscious of songwriting duo Aidan Moffatt and Malcolm Middleton, The Red Thread proffers more of Moffatt's disaffected soliloquies and Middleton's gothic arrangements.
Whether the men's basketball team can sustain last Sunday's momentum through next weekend or not, the city of Atlanta has the entertainment options to keep spring-breaking fans' energy levels up during their trip down South.
Remember the '80s?
Born in a coal mining town in western Kentucky, Joe Ashby Porter has had a career of distinction. From his days at Harvard to the publication of his first novel, Eelgrass, and winning the prestigious Pushcart Prize for short fiction, Porter's writing has shown remarkable creative scope. His characters are refreshingly original, yet honest and human, and their stories are told in a style that is at once luminous and subdued. His latest novel, Resident Aliens, was published last September.
If you thought seeing Eminem kickin' it with Elton John on the Grammys was weird, don't worry-wayward record executives and clueless musicians have cobbled together unsuspected pairings for years, almost always to horrific results.
When voters elect a new Duke Student Government executive vice president this week, it won't be the first time the critical second-in-command position has changed hands this year. In choosing between current Executive Vice President Drew Ensign and Treasurer Henry Ho, both juniors, voters will face much different issues than those DSG addressed this January.
When I stepped into Trilussa and counted the nine tables that make up the tiny restaurant's interior, the first thing I thought about was this little place I went to in New York over fall break.
Recess is an entertainment magazine. Week in and week out, we try to provide our readers with stories that are cutting-edge, insightful and most of all, entertaining.
I was having one of those days that almost make me sorry to be a college journalist. I'd wrapped up editing Recess the night before after myriad delays, layout problems and computer crashes. My nerves were frayed, my cigarettes were smoked and I went home from the office with a lot on my mind. I hit the sack at something like 5 a.m., comforted by the fact that my Fridays usually don't start before 2:45 p.m. I foresaw at least eight hours' sleep ahead of me. So when the phone rang at 10 that morning, I didn't even pretend to pleasantries.
"Hey Mr. Malkmus, put a record on-I wanna dance with my baby." Will Stephen Malkmus be the next Madonna? The next John Lennon?
X-rated? Not quite. But you can't blame the XFL for trying.
"They sound just like the Dave Matthews Band!"
With Tommy, Duke musical theater group Hoof 'n Horn is trying to take its act to the next level.
As comedian Jake Johannsen noted in last week's issue, the Super Bowl is often unintentionally humorous, rarely living up to its über-hype. If you saw Sunday's defensive clinic, er, game, you might well agree. But being the merry folk that we are, Recess was able to find humor in many aspects of the game, as well as the commercials. However, like all good humor, some of the yuks just took a little bit more alcohol than others. See if you agree.
Rainer Maria's achingly earnest, slightly slipshod and often simplified brand of rock is a bit difficult to classify as female-fronted outfits go. Smarter than the head-bopping pop of a band like Letters to Cleo, but lacking the simmering Tampax-fueled fire of Veruca Salt, Rainer Maria are clearly hoping to rock without losing emotional depth or coherence. Take out the female vocalist, and that description sounds suspiciously like Sunny Day Real Estate or Promise Ring; thus, a one-word definition might lead to calling them "femo."

Sometimes, knowing what could hit you can be worse.
Shipping News' 44 minutes of funk flavor will make you wanna hit the sauce like a serial killer on smack.
Recess Editor Jonas Blank caught up with comedian Jake Johannsen last week before his show to talk about life as a comedian, the Dubya, the role of alcohol in comedy and making fun of blind people. Is anything off limits to a veteran comedian? Just don't put Chelsea Clinton on amihotornot.com anytime soon....
