Backpage 16 IB 2 EDITORIAL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 21,2011 the Rice jQhresher Booze forum successful The Jan. 20 "Booze Talk" forum regarding the future of Rice's alcohol policy was, simply put, the epitome of what makes Rice such an enduring community (see story, page 1). The discussion provided a comfortable ven- ue for students to voice concerns and suggestions about the issues at hand. The outstandingly attended intimate gathering brought together students, student leaders and administrators in an absolute testament to Rice's cul- ture of involvement and unity. Dean of Undergraduates John Hutchinson led a panel that included rep- resentatives from REMS, Socials Committees, chief justices and Judicial Af- fairs. The forum was established to ensure student input in the important issue of alcohol policy. This commitment to administration-student com- munication has been advocated by the Thresher in the past, and we would like to acknowledge the administration's distinct attempt to include the students and encourage similar discussion in the future. Nv\NoR! According to Hutchinson, the philosophy behind the alcohol policy is one which hinges upon Rice's "culture of care." In 1997, while other uni- versities were "clamping down" on their alcohol policies. Rice felt comfort- able liberalizing its own policy because of the confidence placed in student leadership to fill in the gap and make the system work in an effective and responsible way.

In order to understand the correlation between genre and form more thoroughly, this paper provides a taxonomic approach to through-composition in several post-millennial experimental rock genres including post-rock, math-metal, art rock, and neo-prog.

  • Decemberists Albums Free Download Torrent the Decemberists Release Music Video on Bittorrent
    decemberists albums free download torrent The Decemberists Release Music Video on BitTorrent. The indie rock band “The Decemberists” has more faith in BitTorrent than MTV. The band from Portland, Oregon want their video to be available to a wide public, and BitTorrent is the easiest way to do so. For the most part, MTV and VH1 won’t touch video unless bands have sold a huge number of records, it’s impossible to get rotation.” Publishing a video on BitTorrent, is cheap, easy and efficient. The hardcore fans helped to seed the torrent and within a couple of days the torrent was downloaded more that 2000 times. Slim Moon, founder of Kill Rock Stars, the Decemberists’ record label responds: “No matter where you stand on issues of copyright, a network like BitTorrent is really for exactly this kind of thing When you have content that you want to freely distribute, it seems like … the most logical way to distribute.” The video for “Sixteen Military Wives” was shot for less than $6,000 at a high school in Portland, Oregon, and features members of the band participating in a Model United Nations, a simulation popular in high schools to teach students about problem-solving and international relations. In the video, Decemberists singer Colin Meloy represents the United States and boldly declares war on Luxembourg, a not-so-subtle jab at the Bush administration’s decision to go to war. By the way, their album “Castaways and Cutouts” probably looks familiar to most people in the BitTorrent community. The Decemberists Albums: Ranked from Worst to Best.

La band americana non può più, ormai, essere considerata una novità. Già le loro precedenti prove avevano raccolto ottimi consensi, come potrà verificarsi andando a spulciare alcuni vecchi Elephant Talk. Un disco giusto un po' più 'digeribile' e lineare dei precedenti, l'ultimo 'Merryweather Post-Pavillion', ma sempre in linea con il moderno folk psichedelico che caratterizzava i precedenti dischi del gruppo. Una proposta non proprio per tutti i palati, insomma. Ne è la conferma il più tiepido riscontro riservatogli da Elephant Talk, in liena del resto con quanto accaduto gli anni scorsi, sia per le uscite degli Animal Collective che per il progetto parallelo Panda Bear. Il 2009 si è rivelato l'anno adatto per uscite piuttosto 'sghembe'.
