Student Film: Five Suitors with musical guests Pepper's Ghost The Rotunda 4022 Walnut Street Tue, April 22, 7 p.m. Free Email wcooklersas.upenn.edu for more info This little movie about an aspiring writer wouldn't normally attract me -- mostly because I haven't had very good experiences with student films, and by student films I mean the stupid video my brother made me be a part of for his class in middle school.

Starr Search
Although there are hundreds of other culinary options in Philadelphia, it might be difficult for you to navigate the empire of restaurant mongrel Stephen Starr.
Spring Fling Preview
Slotted to open the Fling concert, OK Go will be the band playing in the background as overambitious freshman pass out on Franklin Field.
30 Second Take
Edwin McCain has not stagnated since his fifteen minutes of pop fame, rolling out twelve reflective songs with a country twang.
W.O.T.S.: A New Kind of Marxism
Richard Marx is haunting me. An insomniac, it sometimes takes me hours to fall asleep. Better yet, I often awake in the middle of the night -- five, six o'clock -- still tired and wanting to fall into a heavy sleep cycle, and always -- well not always, but unnervingly often -- with Richard Marx, anguished and melancholy in my skull.

One Man Army
One of the best and most original acts to come from Philadelphia in a long time, Atom and His Package puts on an amazing live show with only a synthesizer, guitar, and his hilarious but inspired lyrics.
First Degree Burns
At the opening night of the Philadelphia Film Festival, James Foley, director of the headliner Confidence, talked to the audience for a few minutes.
They Say It's a Gateway Drug
Like its chemical namesake, the numbing and euphoric music of Morphine makes pain bearable, even pleasurable.

Vida Blue The Electric Factory 421 North 7th Street Fri, April 11, 8:30 p.m. $22 adv/$24 dos The first thing I thought about when I heard about this funk band was Rickie Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca." Remember that?
Steak in the Heart
After years of unsuccessfully chasing women, I can finally confess that nothing satisfies me more than a big hunk of meat in my mouth -- along with a one pound baked potato and anything else the Marmont Steakhouse and Bar wants to feed me. Billing itself as Old City's only steakhouse, Marmont is located at 2nd and Market, but pretends it is in the middle of SoHo.
Off-campus Living
University City and Center City are great -- but there's only so much Stephen Starr, Smokey Joe's and Art Museum you can take.
867-5AFI
The Berkeley, California-based quartet AFI crashes back onto the hardcore/punk scene with their Dreamworks debut Sing the Sorrow. AFI, which stands for A Fire Inside, imbued a goth-influenced murkiness into their trademark maelstrom and put a new spin on their melodic version of hardcore.
Like a Virgin
While in Los Angeles, Norman Korpi, the first openly gay cast member of The Real World, and writer/director/star of The Wedding Video, found time to talk to Street about his feature debut. When did you get the idea to make this movie? I've always wanted to make a movie, and I had a couple of screenplays before this dealing with some of my experience on cable access, but when we got down to looking at money and budget, and people going, "What have you done before?" They're not going to give you a million bucks.

Here, Kitty Kitty!
Just as Phantom Planet might forever be known as "that band with the guy from Rushmore in it," Boomkat could see the same fate.
8 Mile Fling
This year's Fling is going to be a battle. Just like those battles in which Eminem competes in 8-Mile. It's going to be power pop meets hip hop, the Ghetto v.
