Jewel's back, and better than ever. Her third release, Joy--A Holiday Collection is a compilation of traditional and somewhat cheesy Yuletide tunes such as "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" as well as a revamped version of "Hands" (from the 1998's Spirit album) and her latest single, "Face of Love," which showcases Jewel's awesome vocal range. Joy shows more sides of Jewel's talent, as she experiments with opera and choral styles in her rendition of "Gloria." The adaptation of guitar to fit the organ's instrumentation provides an updated feel...
...psychedelic meanderings of "Summertime Rolls." P4P is also represented at its best, though the selection of two clones like "Cursed Male" and "Hard Charger" is questionable. Also included are Jane's Addiction's Beatles-esque take on The Dead's "Ripple" and Porno for Pyros' Cable Guy soundtrack version of Lou Reed's "Satellite of Love," which sounds eerily like the Dead with Farrell on vocals. Of the two new tracks, "Rev" is a respectable collaboration between Farrell and Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello, while "Whole Lotta Love" would even be excellent drum 'n' bass if Farrell wasn...
Playing music mostly from their last two albums, Lapsed and Set and Setting, Bardo Pond played a set that steadily increased in energy. Opening with "Tommy Gun Angel" and featuring "Walking Stick Man" and "Datura," they finally broke out the rock with a fine version of "Again." Unfortunately, the end of that song, occurred at 12:30a.m., closing time at the Middle East. So it was sad that at the pinnacle of energy for the show, it all came to a stop--a big disappointment for both an energetic band and the audience that came to see them...
...representatives from Yale met with individuals from Princeton, Rutgers and Columbia to create official rules for American football; what emerged was a game more resembling traditional European football--soccer--than anything else. Harvard pursued its own idea of the sport, closer to rugby and an early version of today's American football. In any case, in 1875, The Game was played without formally established rules, complicating the final tally: While the official record shows Harvard winning by a margin of four touchdowns and four goals to nothing for Yale, The Crimson credited the margin to be five goals to nothing...
...capsule outlook in the women's program went as such : "Despite a ranking of 25th in the NSCAA Preseason poll, the 1999 version of the Harvard women's soccer team will not be greeted with the high expectations that were heaped upon the squad last year. The squad has graduated one of the most successful classes in the history of the program, which included possibly the best player to ever wear the Crimson, Emily Stauffer...
