...songwriting by incorporating new influences and song structures. Closer “All Your Kayfabe Friends” and the title track both twist in myriad directions, always threatening to dissolve into chaos while just clinging to some semblance of structure. The influence of Pavement on the band is clearer than ever on the beautiful lo-fi ballad “Heart Swells/Pacific Daylight Time.” (It even has two parts!) Some of the experiments toward the end of the album fall a bit flat, giving the impression that Los Campesinos! are trying a little too hard...
...Atlanta's OutKast decided to resolve their creative differences by releasing a double album - one disc for Big Boi to make lush, solid hip-hop, and another for Andre 3000 to follow his muse into scattershot, genre-mixing pop experiments.

For the students at FLI, the definition of leadership is clearer than it's ever been, and the playing field, even if it's a patch of turf between two brick walls, is slowly leveling...
...road to an Ancient Eight title repeat may now be clearer, but it still isn’t any easier. With its win last Saturday against Columbia and Brown’s loss to Yale, No. 19 Harvard (7-1, 4-1 Ivy) now sits in a three-way tie with Brown and Penn (5-3, 4-1) atop the Ivy League.But by no means is anything guaranteed, as the Crimson travels to Philadelphia this Saturday to take on its rival league leader.
