Halloween Midterms Spoil the Mood
Thursday, October 26, 2006
In every class it seems like I'm hearing the same thing. Halloween? What is that? Oh well, we'll give you a midterm on Nov. 1 anyway. You know, why not throw in a research paper on the Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act due that day, too. While you're at it, here's a 500-page book on Banobos you need to finish ASAP.

Golden State Blues: City Gimmicks Become All the Rage in California
Thursday, October 26, 2006
Pismo Beach is living a lie. Did you see those commercials on late-night TV last Friday about their 60th annual Clam Festival? The one with a chowder taste-off? A parade celebrating the clam? A walking, talking clam mascot? Oh snap! My weekend is set.

Bathroom Reading Material: Why T.O. Should Retire
Thursday, October 26, 2006
During Monday's pre-game coverage of the Giants-Cowboys game on ESPN, the majority of the time was spent talking about two players who are about as different as professional football players can be.

The Horror, the Horror
Thursday, October 26, 2006
When it comes to genre films, nothing beats a good horror movie. Full of sex, blood, and plenty of other characteristics that make these flicks fantastic in the way that only something so widely reviled by protective parents and pro-censorship politicians everywhere can be, horror films are also often a vehicle for social commentary and scathing satire. In a tribute to the genre that taught us valuable lessons like: "only virgins are capable of outsmarting crazed killers," "nobody dies after the first time you kill them" and - most importantly - "one movie is never enough," we here at the editorial staff of Artsweek have taken time out of our Halloween preparations to compile a list of our top 10 favorite freaky flicks.
Hot Sax
Thursday, October 26, 2006
In his 76 years on earth, Sonny Rollins has played with jazz gods like Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk, overcome a heroin addiction, fled his home in New York as the World Trade Center collapsed a block away with only a saxophone in his hand and been widely acknowledged as a master of that very same instrument. Last Sunday night at Campbell Hall, it was clear that energy and persistence are two things that abound in Mr. Rollins's musical - as well as personal - life.
They Came, They Rocked, They Conquered
Thursday, October 26, 2006
The Young Turks are taking Isla Vista by storm, but not by force, as they continue to confidently conquer the hearts and ears of partygoers with a unique style of rock that utterly defies categorization. With a style that includes vocals delivered with a simplified, raw edge that is reminiscent of Brandon Boyd and guitar hooks that run the gamut from indie to punk to metal, it is easy to understand why their talent and eclecticism appeals to fans of every genre.

The Magic Touch
Thursday, October 26, 2006
Magic, mayhem and mystery - these qualities alone can each make a movie interesting, but when properly combined, they make for an Oscar-worthy film. Director Christopher Nolan, of "Memento" fame, is in top form with his latest offering, "The Prestige," which is perhaps his finest work in years.

Oh Happy Dagger
Thursday, October 26, 2006
The Bulgarian National Theatre's production of "Romeo and Juliet" was a night of rain-soaked, romantically charged drama.
