...Sunshine Fix, while Hart and the remaining members of OTC reformed as Circulatory System, and released their self-titled debut in 2001.That was eight years ago, and until relatively recently, news from the Circulatory System camp, with the exceptions of a few Athens shows and a brief OTC reunion tour, was frustratingly rare. Around 2005, blogs and message boards buzzed over rumors of a new album—tentatively titled “Blasting Through”—to no avail, and years went by until even the most eager fans reverted to a doubting Thomas mentality...
...prescribed stoner-rock loveseat. The alleged indignity with which the original lineup dispersed (Mascis reportedly fired bassist Barlow without ever actually telling Barlow after “Bug” in 1988; Barlow would find renewed underground success with his Sebadoh and Folk Implosion projects) made a true reunion unlikely. That’s probably what made their reunion and resurgence—marked by the astounding “Beyond,” one of the best albums of 2007 hands-down, and now the excellent “Farm”—so satisfying. Dinosaur...
...Here is a brief history of the Class of 2013: At your 25th but not at your 35th reunion, activities will include provision for small children.

In my class, a large number of the students taking math courses appreciated the apparently effortless way one teacher was able to teach a course and a half in one semester. The tenured faculty was not impressed. As explained at our 35th reunion, tenure is a commitment that could last 30 to 40 years. The gifted teacher may burn out. Scholarly productivity is more likely to endure. My experience as a faculty member at a non-Harvard medical school gives credence to the concept. However, I still think that...
...after him. One caused a change in the course of U.S. history. Only the first of these events was predictable during college. On the other hand, my guess is that 10 percent of my classmates are in poor financial straits. When one such tried to speak up at a reunion, he was ignored...
