...portray even the level-headed Ian MacKaye (founder of Dischord Records, and member of Minor Threat and Fugazi), as an off-the-wall fanatic. The Minutemen—subjects of their own excellent documentary “We Jam Econo”—are the only band whose importance equals their portrayal in “American Hardcore,” but their folksy, jazzy punk sounds could hardly be called “hardcore” in the first place...
...meaningful one-on-one as it is between 90 musicians and 1,700 audience members in an Osaka concert hall. And it's even more thrilling to watch the process in its chrysalis phase. In this respect, the masterclass between five Sydney Symphony woodwind players and 100 budding band members at an Osaka high school was the high point of the tour. The stage was a plastic-covered gymnasium floor, with headmaster Yoshio Shinohara's office standing in as green room. "I feel Australia is very close to my heart," says Shinohara, pointing out a Melbourne tea towel, kangaroo ashtray...

Hearing the familiar themes of the piece on completely different instruments drew laughter from the crowd, but the performance, grounded by Bartosik on piano and Giancarlo Garcia ‘08 on clarinet, was actually quite good. The evening ended with Bernstein?...
...another record Saturday, but this time it was not just senior running back Clifton Dawson leading the way.At halftime, the Harvard band put on a show that included the largest baton ever, as confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records, at ten feet.Dawson was the next to tack a record onto his already impressive resume. With 3:44 left in the third quarter, the back ran for his 52nd career rushing touchdown, tying him with Brown graduate Nick Hartigan for first on the all-time Ivy League list. The win was also Harvard head coach Tim Murphy?...
