One thousand enthusiastic Tori Amos fanatics crammed into Saint Andrew's Hall on Wednesday night to witness the exhibition of her most daring journey yet into performance art. One of only 10 shows in North America, this exclusive performance was the first chance for fans to see Tori perform with her new amplified quartet.
Tori brings bold new material to St. Andrews
A strange occurrence happened last Wednesday night in Crisler Arena. As Elton John performed, the stadium crowd did something that it has rarely done since the days of Jalen Rose and Chris Webber. It completely rocked.
This insanity could be attributed to the fact that there were few college students in the audience. Instead it consisted of mostly 30- to 60-year olds trying to relive their glory years on "The Yellow Brick Road." 'Rocket Man' blasts into 'U'
Throughout recent years, The Dave Matthews Band has been collecting an abundance of fans, attracting swarms of concert-goers from venue to venue across the country and selling albums like hotcakes.
But the truly impressive accomplishment is that the group has achieved this success despite an almost complete lack of attention from mainstream radio and media. 'Streets' paved in gold for DMB
Don't expect the Thenardiers to be singing "Master of the House." The film adaptation of "Les Miserables" comes from the classic Victor Hugo novel and not the internationally famous broadway musical. Uma Thurman and Liam Neeson thankfully will not break into song, but an intermission may be required.
Best to wait for 'Les Miz' on videotape
It's difficult to talk about Geoff Dyer's latest book, "Out of Sheer Rage: Wrestling With D.H. Lawrence," because it so energetically dances across topics and forms. From D.H.

Dyer will 'rage' into Shaman
They're creepy and they're kooky. Mysterious and spooky. They're altogether ooky. They're Mulder and Scully. Or at least that's how Fox Interactive, the Fox subsidiary that responisble for the sub-par William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" CD-ROM, wants you to look at the two fearless fibbies with the endlessly encyclopedic "X-Files: Unrestricted Access." Too bad it doesn't quite measure up. 
X-Files disappoints
