...might have trouble finding a song you want to download, however. At the moment, Sprint says it has 250,000 songs for sale. I did some random searching, and had a hard time pinpointing what, exactly, this 250,000 consisted of. Searches for Dire Straits, Jamiroquai or the Decemberists turned up nothing; searches for Rolling Stones and Spoon gave me one song each (actually, a Dr. Dre remix of a Stones song and a Spoon track from a TV show compilation).

...capella concert featuring The LowKeys and The Din & Tonics proved what so many already knew: everybody loves “Stacey’s Mom.” The LowKeys took the stage first with their customarily elegant clothing adding an intriguing level to their focus on contemporary pop-songs. Although each song in the Lowkeys’ repertoire, including “I’ll Be” by Pearl Jam, was well rehearsed and impeccably sung, it was the solos that enraptured the audience. One highlight was Meghan C. Joyce ’08?...
