BY RYAN NYBURG introduces Warhol's
PULSE EDITOR —Pop art screen prints
In any case, it
as a trip throi
n response to the excessive amount of ab
stract art being produced by his contempo
raries, artist Andy Warhol began creating
Pop Art. Apparently, the idea was that Camp
bell's Soup cans were the appropriate anti
formless colors,
never seemed to catch on,
through any modern art gallery
will prove.
I've probably already |
some art history majors
Pop Art a fail|0 mover™
proven my ignorance auuui
the subject to anybody who actual
knows anything about it. My
blithe comments and irreverent
are an insult to the pro
art criticism, and I will
forever be branded a pathetic
impostor in the world of art On
that note, let's take a journey
through the recently reopened
Jordan Schnitzer Museum of
Mand its "Andy Warhol's
Dream America" exhibition.

■ In my opinion
RYAN MURPHEY
MR. SOPHISTICATION
Slacker lifestyle only
temporarily satisfying
In the world of books, movies and guidance
counselors, the end of something good means the
beginning of something better. In the real world, it
usually means a difficult time of adjustment and a
sense of longing for "how it used to be."
The end of this column is combined with the
end of a college experience, the end of a radio
show and the end of the pastthree-and-a-half
years, all with no new beginnings yet in sight. It
would be dishonest to say that it is notthe least bit
depressing. It would also be dishonest to say it is
not absolutely wonderful to get home from work
and have nothing to do other than sleep or play
videogames.

Ethan Daniel Davidson, "Free the Ethan Daniel Davidson Five": A jump from genre to genre can often
make a CD feel messy or disorganized. But "Free the Ethan Daniel Davidson Five," the latest release from Ethan
Daniel Davidson, somehow manages to pull it off. With a range of influences from country to folk to rock, this CD can
appeal to just about everyone.
If country isn't your thing — although the hilarious "I Can't Drink You Pretty'' shouldn't be skipped—there are also
rock songs, most notably the cover of John Prine's "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore." This song
is also just one of the many that contains political stances.
"Free the Ethan Daniel Davidson Five" brings in influences from folk music as well, and "Conquered Beneath a
Boxcar Moon" soothingly represents a tune that could be found on an Arlo Guthrie album. "I Need You Like A House
On Fire" is a slow, serene tune with simple guitar chords and drum beats.
"Free the Ethan Daniel Davidson Five" hits stores Feb. 15.
