...same thing in their video for “Evident Utensils.” Although Kanye has successfully sampled artists ranging from Ray Charles to Daft Punk in the past, it seems he’s found his limits; the sample only works well when your song is faster, better, stronger than those you copy. The digital splendor of the video is an ineffective attempt to prop up a song lacking both strong lyrics and a memorable beat. Kanye is the self-proclaimed voice of our generation, but he’ll find it hard to support that claim...
...nothing would happen, except that more and more bodies grew unnaturally bigger and the game became twisted into a perversion, its nuances and subtleties blasted away by the naked obsession with power.

Brandeis is liquidating its art holdings and closing its Rose Art Museum. The publishing industry is disappearing faster than Bernard Madoff’s money. And, as we descend further into economic chaos, the situation of the arts can only be supposed to get worse. We must make our case not just that we need the money now, but why we will need money in the future. We must...
