Debauchery at its finest
Bastille Day is the Fourth of July flipped upside down and painted an odd shade of chartreuse. Dating back a little over two centuries, this odd holiday celebrates the storming of the Bastille, a French prison, in 1789 marking the start of the French Revolution.
MOVIES: Legally hot
What does a blonde do after her boyfriend dumps her? She, like, totally goes to Harvard. And then, like, wins a high-profile murder case.
Better than McDonald's
Summer is here, and everyone is tired of the eating at the worst McDonald's in the continental 48 states.
MUSIC: Skrape
It seems that the music industry has reached a point where the nu-metal bands are as formulaic as boy bands.
MOVIES: Near touchdown
The Godfather it isn't, but when Brando and DeNiro team up, something has to go right. Throw Edward Norton into the mix and a movie should seemingly make itself.
Backstreet's back, alright!
For a long time now, Street has wanted to find a story with grit. We wanted something meaty, something our readers could sink their teeth into, walking away with a broader view of the world we live in. Failing that--lacking the time, money and initiative, our editors found a couple of free Backstreet Boys tickets and plenty of Jack Daniels, enough of both to go undercover at the Tweeter Center and into the seedy underbelly of the junior high, pop-star obsessed braces wearing, Wet Seal shoppin,' not old enough for a learner's permit, 12 year old girl. Preparing for the concert was a lesson in adolecesnce in itself.
MUSIC: Stereo MC's
Unable to see the writing on the wall, it seems like Stereo MC's are no longer connected--their scene came and went nearly a decade ago with their 1992 dance hit, "Connected." Dance music has become a more fragmented and sophisticated genre in the past ten years, moving past The MC's hip-hopped techno sound.

MOVIES: Made to order
Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn have finally reunited on the big screen to follow up on their indie hit Swingers, a look at L.A.
Storming the Norm
The latest census survey shows their numbers have more than doubled in the past ten years, Consumer Reports marks them as one of the largest minorities to target market and their media influence is on an exponential growth spurt.
Dido headlines but Travis takes the stage
While it was the better-known Dido that most came to see at Camden's Tweeter Center last Friday, special guest Travis gave a surprisingly impressive performance to the full amphitheater comfortably filled with faithful "chick flick" movie-goers. Together, the two acts made the concert's price of admission worth its cost.
MOVIES: Cats and Dogs
Who will you root for? Neither after seeing this disgrace. The cats and dogs can duke it out until they are all one big furry mess it won't change the fact that this movie blows.
THEATER: Sex, Lies and Salmon
Carter Cornell has been murdered, and its a good thing too because listening to his less than wiley machinations for any longer would have made for a very boring play.
MOVIES: Scary Movie 2
How does one review a film like Scary Movie 2? If I was reviewing the first one, I could talk about how it breaks new ground in showing how screwed up the MPAA ratings system is.
Not ready for retirement
For the masses, indeed! Depeche Mode made the scene at Philadelphia's First Union Center Saturday night touring for their new album, Exciter, which is their most recent release since 1990's Violator.
FOOD: Eatin Indian
To an empty stomach and a thin wallet, nothing says satiation quite like an Indian buffet. No wait, no menu-ordering anxiety, no boredom waiting around for food to arrive.
Another corporate scheme
Barnes & Noble has been so successful at selling college textbooks, taking over campus bookstores everywhere that now it's trying its hand at offering courses online at none-other-than www.barnesandnobleunive rsity.com. Unlike its predecessor, this corporate takeover doesn't have to in-debt students in the process.
Nostalgia Overdose
Hey kids! Did you like the 80's? Do you still play The Legend of Zelda on your old Nintendo? Do you remember and cherish G.I.
