I got three of four games correct – the lone exception being the Oakland-New England game. I am not taking the blame, nor should I on this incorrect pick. Tom Brady’s “Phantom Fumble” not only cost me a perfect weekend, it also unfairly ended the Raiders season. The unfortunate ending to that game proves several […]

There are a lot of bad live albums out there. Re-mastered and overdubbed, a listener can’t tell the difference between the studio and live versions as the energy and emotion of the show is sapped out. But the new Nine Inch Nails live album And All that Could Have Been (Nothing Records) thankfully does not […]
NYC’s finest, The Slackers, have been spreading their smooth ska style across the country for the past 10 years. Touring endlessly, the band has hit the road leaving a trail of smoke and beer cans behind them. The Slackers boasts four releases on Epitaph subsidiary Hellcat Record and a slew of impressive gigs.

When Director Mohsen Makhmalbaf took on his latest film Kandahar, little did he know how much international importance the film would have. In the post-Sept. 11 world, the film could hardly be more relevant. Set in Afghanistan but shot on the Iranian border, Kandahar is a semi-documentary film on the peasant life in Afghanistan under […]

Each of these three records is absolutely flawless, required listening not only for punk-rock intelligentsia like […]
Imagine an American flag large enough to span a soccer field, made out of 3-by-3 foot panels of cloth decorated by Foggy Bottom community members and GW student groups and academic departments. Imagine having the chance to take part in campus history. The chance is now possible because of the efforts of three freshmen living […]
The Blue Room Where: 18th Street, Adams Morgan Food: nope Pluses: crowd isn’t too skeazy Minuses: cover and expensive alcohol The Bar Belle made a pact with herself that she was not going to drink for a week. No one believed she could do it – they all doubted her commitment to saving her dad’s […]
In two games so far this season, freshman Anna Montanana has come up with buzzer-beating feats that salvaged come-from-behind wins in the final seconds of play. Sunday against Richmond, Montanana grabbed a key steal in the final 25 seconds that gave the possession back to GW, still down by five. And it was her foul […]
As a native New Englander, I’ve been conditioned to believe skill and talent are not the only keys to post-season success. Luck and superstition are powerful forces that can combat even the fiercest offensive line. After years of disappointment, I can now admit that you can have the best team in the league and not […]
