Off The
Record...
Collective Soul
Dosage
Even in a changing musical
landscape, Collective Soul somehow, some way, always manage to remain relevant.
The tracks on Dosage don't follow a central theme like their last release,
Disciplined Breakdown, but do showcase the group's new state of calm and
stability. Whereas previous releases form this talented quintet spewed anger and
turmoil, Dosage represents positive change.
At The
Movies...
Rushmore
When an over-achieving 15
year-old falls for the school's new first grade teacher, he's determined to
out-man his friend Mr. Blume, a steel tycoon and school benefactor, for her
affections. If Bill Murray doesn't win a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for
Rushmore, there's something very wrong with the system. Funny and charming,
you've never seen anything quite like this before.
