A zany image of Salvador Dalí's (1904-1989) skinny mustache that rises up into the air like the horns of a bull adorns the side of many New York City buses. It seems to have successfully enticed many novice museum-goers to the Dalí: Film and Painting exhibit, sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art.

Most people will remember English alternative-rock band The Verve by the success of its 1997 smash hit "Bittersweet Symphony." The song charted in the Top 20 on both sides of the Atlantic and became a mainstay of the Britpop genre. It was the definition of the band's career, in more ways than one.

"In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" - Neutral Milk Hotel
In the middle of a concept record based on the life and death of Anne Frank, you never know what you might get. Track three ends up being this title track, and my favorite off of the record. Even if singer Jeff Mangum comes out and releases more songs, I'm not sure if any of them can top this as my favorite by him.

Andrew McMahon has written the record fans always knew he could. Jack's Mannequin's new album "The Glass Passenger," blends the best of McMahon's days in Something Corporate and now, Jack's Mannequin. Take the pop catchiness of "Everything In Transit," add in the grace of "North," and the outcome is the brilliant sound heard on "The Glass Passenger."

Claustrophobia is more common than you think. As it turns out, we've all got a mild case. Everyone has been in those suffocating situations: crawling through cramped ventilation shafts, stuffed among mothballs in tiny closets, tied up and wedged into the trunk of a two-door convertible.

As August ended, the Rock started to wake up again for another year in the South Berkshire Concert Series.

OK, so it wasn't quite the Summer of Love. Nobody seems able to take any risks anymore - every note, every phrase seems wrung to death in focus groups, which siphon off every last morsel of innovation. It all seems so safe, like the latest Coldplay album, which is less "la vida loca" and more "la vida vacio".

School is back in session and lovely Storrs is now home to you - a teeming mass of freshmen and transfer students. You've mapped out your classes, splurged on UConn apparel and possibly even made your way down to Carriage House Apartments this past weekend.

Chicago is pretty far away from New York. The distance seems even farther when you are driving in a Mountaineer with six other people (plus luggage) and your air conditioner starts malfunctioning somewhere in an Ohio cornfield. But if the reason for the trip was to attend Pitchfork Music Festival in July of 2008, and if the six other people in the car were all great friends, then you can be assured the trip was well worth it.

It should come as no surprise that New York City is the home of some of popular music's formidable talent. You don't need a brochure to find that out. What's more, we live in arguably a Mecca for the arts and entertainment. So it was fitting, and relatively obvious, that on June 18, New York native singer Alicia Keys ended the North American leg of her "As I Am" tour this past summer at Madison Square Garden.

"I know who I am…I am a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude," declares Kirk Lazarus (played by Robert Downey, Jr.) adamantly much to the bewilderment of his fellow actors on-screen in "Tropic Thunder", arguably this summer's funniest film. Despite the redundancy and recondite nature of his statement, which without a doubt lends to the listener's confusion, Lazarus' astute observation is the essence of this star-studded blockbuster.

For the last weeks of the summer, "The Dark Knight" did not become just a smash hit, but rather an obsession. Those who saw the movie worshipped the Joker and needed more. The movie quotes uttered by the excited and somewhat obsessed fans lingered in the New York air and the theaters were constantly sold out because seeing Batman just once would not suffice.

For many students, the stage is an incomparable experience. For those who want to involve themselves in theatrics, or continue where theater in high school left off, the Drew University Dramatic Society, or DUDS, provides the opportunity to do so.
Madeleine Rose Parsigian ('09), the director of activities for DUDS, said the purpose of DUDS "is to give students a rounded look at what the theater world is like, and to help them develop a basis of knowledge of the theatrical world in all of its element, both behind the stage and on-stage.

Remember the old game room? No? That's not surprising - the place was incredibly forgettable. Dull beige walls, a few aging arcade games, a dance machine that nobody touched and Scrabble. Far from being a fun place to drop by with your friends on a Friday, the Student Union Game Room was just depressing to see.
