...after a little amusement,” Figaro sings in the opening act of Mozart’s “The Marriage of Figaro,” “I’ll play the tune.” True to his words, John D. Kapusta ’09 (Figaro) and the rest of the Dunster House Opera (DHO) cast play the part of lying, cheating, and mischievous lovers well, amusing the audience consistently throughout the comedic opera, and for the most part delivering on their promise to make the opera “accessible...
...Actually, what consumes it, and the movie version, is the 18-year-old Hannibal's tracking down of the dastards who killed and devoured Mischa. (I have to get that West Side Story tune out of my head: "A man like that / He eat your sister.")

It perfectly sums up the ethos of deceptively sweet Of Montreal...
...still wants to grow up to be a VJ, one look at Carson Daly should be enough to kill that ambition. Radio, it seems, refuses to be killed.While radio may have temporarily regained its footing, it’s still far from standing on solid ground. Listeners have stopped tuning in to commercial radio stations that continue to favor generic major label acts. Clear Channel Communications, one of the largest radio station owners in the United States, has been vilified just as much as the RIAA for its just business approach to the music industry. Entrenched in big business...
