The Scene's Costa Caloudas gives advice on things to see and hear this weekend. You had best heed it, if you know what's good for you.
D.C.'s music scene has bred a number of sounds over the past 20 years. From the straight-edge hardcore of Minor Threat to the Dismemberment Plan's impossible-to-pigeonhole indie rock, the District's grounds have given life to hundreds of bands and possibly even more genres.
The residents of Detroit are completely oblivious to local music; there are countless indie bands that deviate from the garage formula, and - gasp - the scene isn't much of a scene at all. The Von Bondies aim to escape such a misnomer.
"Insights," an exhibit featuring more than 30 artworks by nine contemporary African artists, opened last Friday at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African Art.
Upon seeing trailers for "Hidalgo," one might think the film is a strange cross between "Seabiscuit" and "The Mummy." However, the film is actually a very interesting biopic dealing with the relatively unknown Frank Hopkins.
"Starsky and Hutch" - the new movie based on the 1970s television show in which two charismatic, and definitely hilarious, undercover cops are paired up to fight crime in Bay City - is one of the funniest movies you will ever see.
Ideas for activities over Spring Break, locally and across the coast, by Kaitlyn Lavender and Alex Kargher.
There's a particular boy I've had a crush on since I came to AU. I will not tell his name because, to be honest, I don't know it. I've been introduced to him only once, and when we spoke, I couldn't find the words to show him how interested I was.

I - and I assume many of my readers are in the same boat with me on this one - am finding it almost impossible to generate a comprehensive thought. Being in the middle of studying for mid-terms and spring break being so tantalizingly close, the idea of writing a column has just destroyed my will to live.

"Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite." I know my mother told it to me each night before bed until I was about six years old. I used to lie in bed imagining big red and blue bugs crawling underneath my sheets. After waking up with about a dozen tiny bites all over my arms, I think it's safe to say that bed bugs aren't the gigantic, colorful creatures I once imagined them to be. Instead, they're probably closer to a miniscule size, and probably aren't a cool color like red.
"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" won all of the 11 Oscars for which it was nominated at the Academy Awards last night in Hollywood, Calif., tying the record for most awards won set by "Ben-Hur" in 1970 and equaled by "Titanic" in 1998. Director Peter Jackson was one of the most honored individuals of the night, taking three of his film's awards, as producer, director and screenwriter.
Australia's The Living End is about to drop its latest assault on the world March 2, marking its return after a three-year hiatus. But its comeback didn't come without a price. The Melbourne trio began as a cover band before shifting toward a vivacious and incredibly talented punk rockabilly act. TLE had a buzz about that in Australia that eventually inked the band a deal with Reprise Records in 1998.
