May Eslewine has the sort of soul-baring voice that moves the Alan Lomaxes of the world to abandon the ivory tower for the back roads of rural America. Last Thursday she came to them, joining fellow Michigan singer-songwriter Seth Bernard for an intimate concert in Harvard's Pforzheimer House.

2. Jimmy Eat World Bites
Published Thursday, November 04, 2004

Honestly, I didn't have to listen to this record to know that it was utter sewage. However, ethics codes being what they are these days, I succumbed to the inevitable. I will break down the breakdown into four convenient sections, corresponding to the most telling signs of this rock band's demise - recent success, press material, cover art, and lyrics.

We tracked down the affable and articulate Viglione en route to South Carolina to explain his cross-dressing, the real meaning of "punk cabaret," and why the duduk is "righteous." Enjoy.

4. A Rasputina Extravaganza
Published Thursday, November 04, 2004

A Rasputina show is always a sonic and visionary event, and usually a really weird one at that. The fans arrived in hundreds of shades of black, complete with feathers, leather, and the ubiquitous striped cabaret stockings, but the costumes and visuals were not restricted to the audience.

5. R.E.M. Returns With Around the Sun
Published Thursday, November 04, 2004

It's been three and a half years since R.E.M. released their last studio album, the sunny, mid-tempo Reveal. Three years before that, they offered the dark, mid-tempo Up. And now we have the simmering, mid-tempo Around the Sun. Are we starting to recognize a pattern?

6. CD Review: Ray LaMontagne
Published Thursday, November 04, 2004

Anyway, when I first heard the comparisons to Van Morrison, I thought, "If you're going to say he sounds like Van Morrison, he damn well better sound like Van Morrison." After all, no wants to see Van the Man's name taken in vain. But for once, the publicity people were right - Ray LaMontagne sounds like Van Morrison. From the way that he sings to the way that he structures his songs, from the instrumentation that he uses to the tempos in which he plays, Ray LaMontagne sounds like Van Morrison. Way, way too much like Van Morrison.

7. Ray, A Movie Review
Published Thursday, November 04, 2004

At times, Charles comes across as downright cold, overly focused on his music and uncaring towards his family. But at the same time, the movie strives to explain his background and show why he faced the troubles that he did. Instead of making Charles a flawless idol or attempting some sort of scandalous exposé, Ray shows the good and the bad, portraying the legend as simply another human being, and I enjoy the candid look.

8. CD Review: The Arcade Fire's Funeral
Published Thursday, November 04, 2004

I'm very proud of the Arcade Fire, and they deserve every last bit of the praise that is being heaped on them left and right. If you haven't heard Funeral, you are missing out and have only yourself to blame because you've now been duly told.
