    Sagging economy may cause higher tuition

    Students can expect an increase in tuition for the 2008-09 academic year, which will mark the sixth consecutive tuition hike. UA President Robert Witt said the University will have to raise tuition in lieu of decreased funding from the state, current campus construction projects and an increase in energy costs.

The Crimson White-sponsored SGA executive debate was held in The Zone of the Bryant-Denny Stadium, and the number of students crowding the room led to an announcement to clear the fire exits.

The trick to Pinned, though, is its shamelessness (but not the sort of shamelessness usually trafficked in by Shaffer and Co).

    Colin Meloy - "We Both Go Down Together"

    In April, Colin Meloy's releasing his first full-length solo album, the 17-track Colin Meloy Sings Live! (the Morrissey and Shirley Collins collections were EPs). We realize that's a long time to wait for Decemberists fanatics, so this week's Drop offers a sneak peak of the collection via a triumphal take on Picaresque's "We Both Go Down Together," recorded live at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles. Since we had Meloy in our radar (and vice versa), we thought to ask him a little bit about the song as well as what it's like keeping track of all those words in a live setting.

    What inspired the narrative behind the song? It's a prequel to "Leslie Anne Levine"?
    I didn't set out to write a prequel -- it happened that the characters in "We Both Go Down Together," as they floated into view, were taking on peculiar similarities to the peripheral (and dead) figures that the titular Leslie spends four minutes cursing. A wealthy cad, a ruined naif, and a bit about a non-consensual tryst. So I had it in my head that the impregnated mother of Leslie, standing there over the cliffs as her sweetheart/rapist attempts to convince her to commit suicide with him, politely declines, pushes him over the edge and heads off into the sunset, or at least into her fate of giving birth in a ditch and dying.

    You're obviously careful about your lyrics/word choices. Live, do you try to stick to what you've put to paper or are you fine with variations?
    The only times where I vary from the original script is when I forget the words, which happens with disturbing frequency. I try to pass it off as creative extemporization but I don't think anyone's buying it. I rely on the kindness of the front row for prompting...

    //

    Colin Meloy Sings Live! is out 4/8 on Kill Rock Stars. He goes on a U.S. solo tour 4/7. Check out the dates at KRS.

We haven't seen the movie yet, but fingers crossed someone -- maybe not Kevin Spacey -- has sex to it.

    Black Crowes Respond To Phony Maxim Review »
    Maxim raised a ruckus this week when they gave Black Crowes' Warpaint a two-and-a-half-star without listening to the entire album. Chris Robinson & Co. have a bone fide reason to be pissed, but journalistic integrity aside, it may very well be the best review the record gets.
