Harvard's task is daunting, considering three earlier losses to the Minutemen this year. Additionally, a scheduling quirk makes it necessary for Harvard, the No. 4 seed, to play more games than the 5th or 6th seeds in order to make the top four, thereby qualifying for the Eastern Championships...
Bringing Down the Horse, despite huge sales, was an affable album with a couple of wildly catchy songs (notably One Headlight and 6th Avenue Heartache) and more than a few skippable ones. Breach lacks the grabby singles, but overall it's a more consistent work than the Wallflowers' last release, and a more emotionally daring one. "The first two records--I just wrote songs," says Dylan. "I didn't really think people were going to hear them."

"The first rock-'n'-roll shows were dance events," says 6th Element promoter Matt E. Silver, who has worked with best-selling electronica acts such as Chemical Brothers and Prodigy. "Now it's about deejay culture." In the movie Groove, the filmmakers refer to that connection between deejay and dancer, between promoter and satisfied raver, as "the nod." Many rave promoters and deejays...
