...without the originality or heartfelt verses to back up its muscle-bound choruses. The album is not entirely a lost cause. The latter tracks offer more depth than the dry and predictable first half. A few nuanced production details earn the band some style points, like the cool Rhodes solo conclusion to “Begin Again from the Beginning” and the soulful cello in “From the Last, Last Call.” Unfortunately, these elements are few and far between and the band’s alternative songwriting equation seems to have stagnated after...
...Kominsky Crumb's Need More Love: A Graphic Memoir (MQ Publications; 383 pages; $30). Another in the long line of interesting female artists who get overshadowed and even vilified as a result of being married to a beloved male artist (in this case, Robert Crumb), Kominsky Crumb gets the solo attention she deserves with this new book. Need More Love delivers some of the most endearingly uninhibited comix ever put to paper...

But Harvard instantly regained possession, cycling the puck around the edges from junior Caitlin Cahow to Chu to sophomore defender Nora Sluzas.Sluzas uncorked a slapshot that went through Zilis’ five-hole to record...
...Hasty Pudding Theatricals always put their Woman of the Year (WOY) through a number of daunting and humiliating tasks (see: Halle Berry, 2006). But nothing is more embarrassing than showing up to the event solo. So who should this year’s WOY, newly-single Scarlett Johansson, bring to the event? Fortunately for her, Harvard is chock-full of eligible bachelors ready to take on the challenge. Nathan J. Dern ’07: The “Beauty and the Geek” star can handle the spotlight, and the show seems to have upped his confidence...
