(706): Have you not heard of
Jennifer's supreme lust for William
Shatner? She wants to eat Taco Bell
off of his love handles.

I AM T-PAIN
It looks like the death of auto-tune
can wait a little longer. With iPhone
apps continuing to generate a culture
of their own, T-Pain has taken it upon
himself to throw his hat in the ring. I
Am T-Pain lets you record your voice
over beats like "Buy U a Drank" or "I'm
N Luv (Wit a Stripper)." Switch on the
Antares Auto-Tune and you're set.

High five
A notable Ann Arborite gives five
answers to a curious question.
Katherine Mendeloff

What are the five strangest theater
productions you've ever seen?
"Fragments From A Trilogy: The Trojan Women" by Andrei Serban at
Cafe LaMama in 1974. It was the first time I saw a multi-national multi-ethnic
cast. There was incredible physicality. The text was comprised of different lan-
guages.
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" by Peter Brook at the Brooklyn Academy
of Music. Fantastic physicality - it used a circus theme with trapezes and acro-
batics. An inspiration for any director of Shakespeare.
"Yerma" by Rogaland Teatr at the International Theater Festival in Balti-
more, 1982. Done in a bullfight ring with Norwegian actors playing Spaniards
and blond actresses painting mustaches on their upper lips.
"Richard III" by Konstantine Raikin at Satyricon Theater in Moscow, 2005.
Great use of symbolic language - the death of Clarence is a wine-throwing
match, the prince's pillow fight on a ballooning fabric "bed," while the feathers
float above them.
"The Tempest" by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Power Center
in Fall 2006. Setting was Antarctica and the character of Ariel was played like
Nosferatu. This concept did not work for me - the power balance was wrong -
Ariel was scarier than Caliban and more powerful than Prospero.
SINGLE REVIEW
FOREVER
DRAKE
The summer of 2009 belongs to Aubrey "Drake" Graham. Reeling from recent
success with his summer hit"Best I Ever Had," the Canadian-born "Degrassi" alum
has been premiering a stringof monster R&B singles in anticipation of his upcoming
debut Thank Me Later. His latest offering is "Forever," a six-minute smash featuring
an epic lineup of hip-hop royalty. With guest appearances by Kanye, Weezy and
Detroit's finest, the song seems like it should be an incomprehensible mishmash of
heavy hitters, but the combination works. With a steady stream of successful early
releases, Drake is on his way to making his name as a hip-hop powerhouse.
SASHA RESENDE

RED REMOVER
From the creators of last semester's classic "Super Stacker 2"
comes "Red Remover," another game centered on happy shapes.
The goal is simple: Protect your green shapes while eliminating
the miserable red shapes. At first it may seem simple, but with
the addition of multiple planes of gravity, the puzzles get chal-
lenging and, most importantly, super addicting.

ROCKITTY
Once again, Nitrome.com comes to our aid to answer one of
life's important questions: What happens when a cat blasts off
into a realm of space inhabited by purple sludge, space cows and
bright, numbered platforms? The answer: "Rockitty." Bounce
your feline friend around the cosmos while collecting lots of
points. The game is simple, quick, out-of-this-world fun.
