Despite being arguably the most beloved indie-pop band of the past decade, Belle and Sebastian have always had a certain stigma attached to them. Described by Jack Black as "sad bastard music" in "High Fidelity" (2000), the Scottish seven-piece band's delicate chamber-pop style and cynically literate lyrics have painted the typical B&S listener as either a sexually frustrated art school student or a latte-drinking, scarf-wearing yuppie.
After all was said and done, the most exciting moment of this year's Super Bowl may have been Aretha Franklin's performance of the national anthem.
The only thing that was "S.L.A.P. (Silly, Lame and Absolutely Pathetic)" was Jasmine Watson's article ["Busta Rhymes is coming back?! "] in yesterday's Viewpoints section of the Daily.
It's not a year ago, but President Bush thinks it is. Despite poll numbers wallowing in the tepid low-40s, Bush unveiled a budget proposal yesterday characterized by the exact same brand of fiscal irresponsibility he pursued a year ago when his so-called "mandate" was fresh and at least slightly credible.
A recently-released nationwide study on day laborers in the United States - the first study of its kind - revealed an unexpectedly high level of community engagement among the day-laborer population. It also, however, confirmed what many individuals and activists had already asserted: that the life of a day laborer is one fraught with on-the-job dangers.

In the early morning of Jan. 29 Tufts police responded to a possible "act of intolerance" in Bush Hall towards a student due to sexual orientation, according to Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) Sergeant Chris McGee.
The Gold Dust Orphans' production of "Death of a Saleslady" is at the same time everything and nothing like the Arthur Miller classic on which this modern adaptation is based. Though the general plot of this version mirrors the original about a washed-up salesman whose delusions of grandeur bring about the downfall of himself and of his family, the Orphans' adaptation incorporates many of their signature twists, the most striking of which are the gender reversals most of the characters, if not the actors themselves, undergo.

For the men's swimming and diving team, that time was definitively on Saturday, when the Jumbos competed in the non-scoring Middlebury Invitational, the team's last meet before the NESCAC championships.
It is hard to produce an atmospheric yet engaging record under the flag of instrumental indie rock, or so-called post-rock. Accordingly, such attempts tend to be overly ambitious; they strive to make something intensely dramatic but come across as plain or clich?©d, tending to retreat into a tired m?©lange of dub bass lines, post-punk-inspired guitar riffs and standard-fare post-rock drum set syncopation.

In this series of five short plays his genius is so wildly apparent, and yet so subtly rendered, that the entire production is an extraordinary success.
To kick off the Top Ten for 2006, the Daily decided to play Nostradamus and predict the big headlines in sports for the coming year. These predictions are so good even Pete Rose would bet on them. Swami says...
