Sometime past midnight at London's Crystal Night Club, the lights dim and the DJ drops a mellow beat. Right on cue, Julia Theresa Heller, a leggy 19-year old, struts across the stage in her bid to become Miss King's College 2008. "I'm originally from Germany and I love chocolate," she says to the judges, flashing a toothy smile as blinding as her blonde locks. "Just like me it's sweet, and definitely bad for you." When asked by the emcee to describe the superpower she'd most like to possess, Heller, a business management student, doesn...
...music suddenly turns bass-heavy, and he shouts to the music director across the room, “We don’t know if we’re going to be able to use that intense stuff.” It promptly switches back to mellow. As one of the founders of Project East, he knows what this event requires. On the one hand, he’s involved in most of the activities taking place in the JCR, walking from corner to corner to check on shoes or jackets, occasionally stopping to tell a model...

I had never met him, but I kept hearing his name, prefaced, as if by Homeric epithet, by “that guy who wants...
...Evergreen.” While these songs still have the folksy, raspy-voiced ballad feel that Adams effortlessly maintains, they tend to focus more on the hook and groove. “Evergreen” is a happy tune with snappy acoustic phrases and a mellow that aren’t a far cry from (I hate to say it) Jack Johnson. Another sound new to Adams is the soulful, gospel-tinged “Let Us Down Easy,” which offers a taste of early Stax, a hearty gospel chorus, and Adams’ signature twang. Adams...
