Outkast reinventing hip-hop

By Daniel Longino · Thursday, Sept. 25, 2003

Most contemporary high-profile rap albums last too long and use too much filler. Folks like Jay-Z, with last year's "Blueprint 2," release ill-advised double CDs packing too much into one release. However, Outkast, comprised of Big Boi and Andre 3000, reigns the rap genre with its latest effort of two solo albums packaged into "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below."

Cursive's raw sound resonates

By Pam Martin | September 25

Great music rained down on the Black Cat Tuesday when Cursive headlined a show that included Blood Brothers, Eastern Youth and Forensics. In ten words or less, Cursive is gut-wrenching, sobering rock, lined with cello and organ. Who would not fall in love with this band? Its recorded tracks translated flawlessly to the stage and are packed with even more emotion, if that's possible.

Get turned on, but don't get caught

By Allison Weil | September 25

I am not a member of the Mile High Club, but I know many people who are. It's not as though I don't want to "do it" in the bathroom stall of an airplane. I just haven't had anybody to "do it" with when it was possible. It seems to me that having sex in forbidden places is making a comeback.
