...Boston. The game that I saw took place at the Eagles’ Conte Forum, a nice venue but far from the big stage reserved for the men, and the 723 people in attendance could hardly be called a crowd, especially when you consider that Harvard’s band made up a significant proportion of that 723—and they pretty much had to be there...
...genius of our founders is that they designed a system of government that can be changed. And we should take heart, because we've changed this country before.

The band produced five records between 1996 and 2002 and fans have long wondered what was holding up the latest release by Denver’s answer to the Beach Boys. Internal drama? Too many side projects? Too much basking in the glory of appearing on The Powerpuff Girls’ LP? Not quite. Shuffling between five cities, the band’s guitarist/vocalist Robert Schneider was busy making up his own scale. I repeat: his own scale. Based on mathematical...
