No Brat Pack at the Taste?? How disappointing…
A Sunny Day Shoegaze Pop - now THAT"S post-rock.
I just discovered The Low Anthem recently thanks to an NPR Tiny Desk concert podcast downloaded onto my iPod. As I am with many “folk-ish” bands, upon first listen I found them a bit boring (though overall I love folk music—weird), but am now into them like…
It sounds like i just misunderstood you, thanks for clarifying.
I was responsible for the label “drunken plague.“ I thought it was slightly amusing and might draw attention to the piece. If you were offended by that than you’re taking yourself WAY too seriously. Perhaps you would have some umbrage points if it was a feature article…
So I’ve read this through a few times, and I can’t figure out why you feel like I’m belittling anyone. Especially not all undergrads, and not even all undergrads that are currently wasted. If I were still in undergrad (not working 8-6, not working this Saturday, less…
jack, unofficial is fucking stupid. and i’m and undergrad who will start drinking pretty soon. don’t get so defensive.
Unofficial isn’t that crazy. Personally, I think a music preview can be done without passing judgement and stereotyping undergrads. That’s not helping the music scene, if that’s an intention. Saying something simple like: “If unofficial isn’t your thing, come to Mike ‘n Molly’s to see a great…

...and while the Illinois Marathon isn’t quite a “fest”, it takes places in the streets all over CU! okay, done now.

Nothing is as humbling as running distances. I was a Div.I athlete, and NOTHING compares to the physical & mental test running has proven to be for me…..and I love it!
Tony C… Marathons are meant to be the most painfully excruciating character building exercise you can do besides childbirth, I would imagine. After all Pheidippides died after his. But at least he did one.
Rob, don’t ever change. I lean “merryman,“ but still can’t wait to read your take after every game and that hasn’t changed one bit in recent weeks.
I ran a slow Chicago marathon with a friend as moral support. We kept passing and getting passed by fully decked out Elvis in a white jumpsuit (it was 85F) and “Hi Guy” who was wearing Crocs as footwear and waving at everyone he passed (http://higuy.com/). It…
Lena… Thanks for the story idea. I’ll add it to my list of potentials!
I like the old Rob better, but I can understand why we have the new Rob. The illini crowd turns on anyone who doesn’t toe the line. Guess that’s why the local media never asks tough questions of Weber nor have follow up questions to some of his vague mysterious answers.
The University does not subsidize the Airbus. For decades bus transportation to the airport was provided expressly for Institute of Aviation students. This service was paid for by the Institute of Aviation, not campus as a whole. Some of you may even remember the old orange or…
LOVE IT. As a high jumper -turned sprinter- turned half marathoner who gets hollered at by random folks in cars (and stumbling down green street) during the cold early C/U mornings, I can totally relate! I’m jealous of the folks who can sport a costume and still finish races…
Go Abe, go!
We just couldn’t stop them on the defensive end. They scored almost a will against us. Sigh.. NEXT YEAR! :)
Burr did make some bizarre calls that killed our momentum, but the main problem was shot selection. It’s been the same thing all season, shooting off-balance shots and long range jumpers early in the shot clock. Maybe we’ll fare better in the rematch Friday.
Just read this over at the Gazoo. Perfect ending to our underwhelming season, should it continue to go in the direction I think it will and we get an NIT invite: “Illinois wouldn’t be able to host a game in the first round of the NIT,…
A book just published gives a very useful different perspective on the “growth for growth’s sake” model and its ecological unsustainability. It is “Prosperity Without Growth: Economics for a Finite Planet” by Tim Jackson. The first chapter of the book can be downloaded via http://earthscan.co.uk/pwg . This…
Oh my God, what a horrid game.
Gris gris gumbo Ya-ya, thats how you really kick it keep kickin it, not scorcese/stones/decaprio bs
I’m trying to think of things that might make this movie somewhat redeemable. All I’ve come up with so far is the idea of remarketing it as either the prequel to Ghandi OR as Revolutionary Road 2: Frank strikes back!
