They rule your section, they interrupt your professors, they answer questions you didn't ask. They live to pow-wow through Phillips Brooks House Association (PBHA) cabinet meetings, posture in Undergraduate Council focus groups and recite the Saturday morning Crimson Key tour. They are the bull-horn-toting-riot-causing ring leaders, the creme de la creme of undergraduate pseudo-intellectual literati, the "Dan Lungren's new best friend" gov jocks. Join us for an evening chat with Harvard's 15 biggest mouths...
...name. If you call yourself the World Trade Organization, you can't complain much if people dial your 800 number and gripe about world trade. If a bunch of heads of government plan a triumphalist self-celebration in Seattle, you can't blame party poopers for showing up to horn in on the publicity. But really, the WTO is O.K. Do the math. Or take it on faith...
...what if we study music at a very young age? If we are born with perfect pitch, could that help us keep it? Should we be offering lessons in infant cello or pint-size French horn?

During each performance, the three musicians (Hatim Belyamani '99, Shawn Feeney '99 and David Horn '00) communicate with each other through visual symbols that correspond to musical parameters and instructions. Every performance is a continuation of the last and uses audio and sometimes visual recordings of previous shows as raw material to be recombined. The musicians incorporate these samples with new, acoustically-produced sounds using a variety of instruments (including guitars, cello, slide whistles, digeridoo and sheet metal). For the show, the group will be playing with...
...easy to see the group's objection to its typecasting--despite band masterminds Richard Fearless and Tim Holmes touring with two guitar players, a bassist, a drummer, a keyboardist and a two-man horn section, the band is invariably compared to groups like Chemical Brothers and Massive Attack. Still, the easiest explanation for the persistence of the electronica label is the lack of a regular vocalist. After all, how many rock bands can you name that don't have a singer? In keeping with this idea of unconventionality, the band somehow managed to play a sterling, albeit too-short...
