Unoriginal sin
Yes. ok Plagiarism is not cool. It shouldn’t be happening. But to me, as a Dal student it seems that there is much MUCH MUCH more emphisis (and money) put into areas that do nothing to help students. ie – mandatory bus passes ( i live next door to the school) the Opt-out optional health…

“Outrageous” Fortune
We’ve refrained from mentioning JD Fortune in this space because there are a lot of things about that whole deal we don’t understand, including who was gunning for an INXS reunion in the first place and how popular the new line-up for a band nobody gave a shit about has turned out to be. Anyway,…
Dropping Hinterland
Wonder if you can change the date in the article to the actual date of my CD release show — at least on the web page — it’s written correctly elsewhere in the magazine this week as march 4th Thanks though for the nice article. By Old Man Luedecke
Break out the national distribution
Hi-octane rockers The Maynards are hoping Canadians are going to pick them up all over the place now that 2005’s Break Out the Make Out has landed a distribution deal with Scratch Records. The band’s second full-length will also be available internationally via the label’s website. “We’d gotten in touch with Scratch back when we…
In with the old
Finer Things Antiques & Curios at 2797 Agricola has expanded from five rooms to nine. The new rooms are primarily centered on 1940s through ’60s retro furniture, with an emphasis on chrome sets. “I find that now have grown up, they’re getting to the retirement age, their children, who grew up with this type of…
A view to the future
Dear mayor Kelly and Halifax Regional Council, The residents of the Halifax Regional Municipality are at risk of losing our position as the cultural, commercial, educational and medical centre of Atlantic Canada. We are now known as a city that does not welcome new and innovative large-scale development. While we must have respect for our…
A view to the future
To the editor, From what I can tell, the United Gulf towers DON’T violate the Municipal Planning Strategy, or if they do, then it’s in a way that is subject to interpretation. I really don’t see how building a large, attractive project adjacent to a proposed heritage district is going to be the downfall of…
A view to the future
To the editor, As a planning student at Dalhousie University, an aspiring architect and a Haligonian, I am in favour of the United Gulf towers. I believe they are exactly what this city needs. We cannot allow our city to get trapped in a time bubble—we need to allow it to evolve and advance as…
A view to the future
To the editor, At the end of last week’s editorial on the Cultural Plan, Kyle Shaw expressed his concern over the proposed United Gulf towers being built on Granville and Hollis Streets downtown “in what is otherwise a budding heritage district.” Who in their right mind would suggest that a development on the lot of a…
Sparking the debate
To the editor, I am writing in response to Stephen Kimber’s article “Table manners.” There are a number of inaccuracies in Kimber’s article, which do not come as any surprise to me since I have not seen him at any school board meetings. For the record (and it is on the record—the audio recording of…
Sparking the debate
To the editor, Kimber’s telling of Mr. Sparks’ story just serves to remind us all that racism is still very present, not only in our school boardrooms but throughout our community. I think we need to pay heed by taking responsibility for examining how our own “seemingly innocuous” actions and assumptions may be perpetuating hurt,…
Sparking the debate
To the editor, I’m not sure if disgust would be the appropriate word to describe how I feel about Mr. Sparks’ pathetic cry for media attention, trying to score votes just in time for the next provincial election. It shouldn’t matter if you are sitting by someone who is like-minded on issues arising at meetings.…
Sparking the debate
To the editor, I was extremely impressed with “Table manners,” Stephen Kimber’s February 23 article about Doug Sparks and the controversy surrounding the HRM school board debacle. It was a brilliant dissection of a subject that at the surface appeared trivial. Mr. Kimber took us on a journey that was revealing and enlightening. During the…
Unoriginal sin
Lynn Taylor knows she’s fighting an uphill battle when offers of free pizza and pop still can’t fill the room. About 20 engineering students fidget anxiously in a large classroom at Dalhousie University’s Sexton campus. This is the biggest group to turn out for any session during Dalhousie’s Academic Integrity Week, which was held February…
Boys, boys, boys
Mötley Crüe is evil. At least that’s what I thought when I first saw the band’s poster in a Circus magazine 20 years ago. The gritted-teeth poses, Mad Max-inspired leathers and blood-soaked satanic imagery frightened my young, Anglican Church-going mind, and I quickly retreated to the safe confines of a Bon Jovi article. My friend…
Dropping Hinterland
Old Man Luedecke is a banjo-hammering songster who looks like Santa Claus might have in his late 20s. He’s very in touch with his roots. He just released his new record, Hinterland, and he’s gracing us with a CD release show at Ginger’s on Saturday, March 4. “The new record has been in stores for…
Book it
One glance at the man on stage—strange electronic noise-making boxes in front of him, frizzy curly hair in all directions—and it’s easy to understand why Todd Drootin, AKA Books on Tape, gets more than a few looks. It’s especially true once the sounds start. The cold and steady drum machine, the odd snippet from a…
Dave Chappelle’s Block Party/Madea’s Family Reunion
Michel Gondry’s Dave Chappelle’s Block Party forgoes the star worship and suspenseful developments of music documentaries. It brings the concert film down to earth — a feat so unassuming it’s at first difficult to identify the root of its charm. Expanding on Gondry’s innovative concepts for framing the subjects of his music videos, here, the…
French connection
French cuisine returns to Metro courtesy of Herve Hemlin, certified Chef de Cuisine. Hemlin’s namesake restaurant, “Herve,” has migrated from Dartmouth to the old Corso location on Granville Street, and has been rechristened Chateau Briand, named for the French dish of filet mignon for two. The menu features French classics, of course, and a wide…
Stage bite
Q: Do lots of people know about your upcoming performance? A: Yes! It’s great. Lots of people know me from the market, so all Saturday people were coming up and asking me about it, teasing me. I’m quiet and shy, and people kept coming up and saying, “Mary! Are you really going to do this?!?”…
antenna’s up
Lucy Liu, best known for her work as an actor in films such as Charlie’s Angels and the Kill Bill volumes, will show off another side of her expression—her multimedia art. Her show antenna opens on Sunday at emotion picture gallery. There are connections between visual art and the film world for all involved: emotion…
SAVAGE LOVE
Dan Savagesays don’t put up with it, DTMFA.
Quitting Brokeback
The talk’s all wrong. Everybody’s saying that Brokeback Mountain is a brave movie—the brave gay cowboys, the chances the brave actors take by playing brave gay cowboys, the sheer nerve of the brave gay cowboy film to be showing on 1,600 screens across the continent (compared with 158 for Transamerica). The brave gay cowboy movie…
FREE WILL ASTROLOGY
A blast from the Valentine’s Day just past, from Rob Brezsny.
Head on
In a last-minute Brokeback setback, many analysts now predict the Best Picture Oscar will go to Crash. There’s also a stronger current against Crash now than when it opened. But it isn’t a case of controversy proving a movie’s worth. Disputes don’t arise over Crash’s complexity and motives; they’re about whether the film is spectacular…
Cinéma vérité
You could do worse than a double feature of Capote and Good Night, and Good Luck. Both are up for the best picture Oscar at Sunday’s Academy Awards, and taken together they give a crash course on everything that’s wrong with journalism today. Capote follows author Truman Capote from 1959, when he started writing a…
Broken home
Early Monday morning, a backhoe began ripping through an old blue house on the corner of Creighton and Gerrish Streets. By 11:30am, the view from the sidewalk was deceptive—the facade of the building was still intact, giving the impression of a fully-formed home. But behind the outer walls, most of the house already lay in…
Wax and wane
Ladies, pull up your pants. Brazilian wax jobs are going out of style. In case you’ve managed to miss this decade-and-a-half-old trend in pubic hair management that hit its height in the late ’90s, or if you’ve never been plucky enough to ask someone the ins and outs, here goes: You lie naked from the…
