Fresh for '88, you suckas. Get ready to bump and bang to the old school sounds of one of the foremost lyrically elite pioneers of the underground.
How about instead of making portion sizes at fast food and other restaurants smaller, the FDA should start finding ways to make the good and healthy foods cheaper and the fatty and unhealthy foods more expensive. I am sick of going shopping and seeing that a bag of chips or dessert Snack Packs are cheaper than a pound of apples or a loaf of whole-wheat bread.
I was listening to NPR the other day in my car, and the guest speaker suddenly burst into tears. I'm not accustomed to hearing announcers from National Public Radio cry.
The editorial "Protesting should be protected," (6/1) is lacking in a few areas.
If you think The Buffali is a ridiculous band name, just be glad members Clare Fehsenfeld and Andrew Yonda did not go with Fehsenfeld's original name. "Originally, I thought it would be funny to name the band 'Standy Handby and the Boring Buffali,' and then Andrew said that that was really stupid," Fehsenfeld said in a phone interview Tuesday. Fehsenfeld and Yonda will be bringing their self-described "bombastic acoustic indie pop" to town on Friday at Magdalena's Tea House, 2006 E.
Canton, Mich. — Swedish tradition replaced a ribbon-cutting ceremony yesterday as a log was sawed in half to signify the opening of Ikea, the Swedish furniture company. The line to enter Ikea, 41640 Ford Road, wrapped around the 311,000-square foot building Wednesday morning, but it moved fast as people rushed through the doors when the store opened at 9 a.m. Ikea employees stood at the entrance handing the first 5,000 customers manila envelopes with vouchers inside, containing anything from a "buy one get one free" hot dog to a $250 gift card. The Canton store is the 28th Ikea to open in the United States and 236th in the world.
Mason — Defense Attorney Chris Bergstrom argued against a motion suppressing documents relating to Charles Mercer's arrest Wednesday afternoon.
"Rock 'n' roll ain't noise pollution/Rock 'n' roll it will survive/ Yes it will, ha ha ha ha." Or least that's how AC/DC feels about rock 'n' roll, and after watching The Muggs' new live DVD, it's obvious the trio from Detroit agrees. The rock team moves through nine electric bluesy tracks like an ambulance driver.
Lansing — The fliers read "The End Of Shows As We Know It," which — all grammatical complications aside — was partially true.

• Two men arrested in connection with the alleged Feb. 23 Hubbard Hall assault are scheduled to appear for their preliminary examinations Friday at the 54-B District Court in East Lansing. A preliminary examination determines if there is enough evidence to proceed with a trial.
I wish to comment on Caitlin Scuderi's column, "English as official language doesn't threaten culture, instead unifies U.S." (SN 6/6) I could not disagree more with her assessment of the situation or of her characterization of it as a means of unifying all people.
The city of East Lansing celebrated the United Nations' World Environment Day on Monday by marking the completion of the Combined Sewer Overflow Control Program. The program, which cost about $30 million, will clean water that is collected from storms and sanitary sewage overflow, and place it in the Red Cedar River. Consisting of three phases, the program called for the construction of a 12-foot-wide tunnel running under Grand River and Michigan avenues, the development of a storm drain in the Wilmarth Drainage District and the creation of a 2.6 million gallon holding tank to receive water overflow. "East Lansing is a green city with a green and white university," East Lansing City Councilmember Mark Meadows said.
When Kris Young and state Sen. Samuel "Buzz" Thomas surveyed the choices for a quick, healthy lunch in downtown Lansing, they didn't find many options. The two men, both employed by the state at the time, co-founded Fresh Healthy Food, 111 S.
All hype and no horror. During the late show at Lansing's Celebration Cinema, 200 E. Edgewood Blvd., on 6-6-06 — ah, scary — audience members openly laughed at the spooky and serious bits during "The Omen." Hollywood's interest in remakes boggles the mind.
MSU is not required to release the initial police report from the alleged Feb. 23 Hubbard Hall assault to The State News by Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Joyce Draganchuck this afternoon. The State News filed the lawsuit in Oakland County against the university May 19 after MSU refused the newspaper's requests to release the initial police report regarding the alleged Hubbard Hall assault. Herschel Fink, a First Amendment and media lawyer representing The State News in this case, said he filed the lawsuit with the Oakland County Circuit Court "to remove this case from the politics of Ingham County," which was prompted by a letter sent to the university from Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III. Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Denise Langford Morris heard the case May 31, but referred it to Ingham County because "it would be more convenient if it took place where it appears most of the occurrences took place," According to the denial letters from the university, releasing the information would be an unwarranted invasion of privacy, interfere with investigation proceedings and deprive the men arrested of a fair trial. On Feb.
In his speech Saturday, Bush again called for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. Rather than relying on false words, though, Bush based his argument on false premises — reasons with no valid support. Yesterday the Senate saw right through Bush's proposal when the legislators' vote was 49-48 — 11 short of the 60 needed to pass the amendment. While it's easy to rely on naturalistic fallacies and religious premises, there is no factual or scientific evidence supporting Bush's claim that same-sex marriages are "bad," while heterosexual ones are "good." Bush claimed that, "Ages of experience have taught us that the commitment of a husband and a wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children." A seemingly commonsensical claim.
