FOOD WARS
Each week, one Ann Arbor staple menu item becomes a
bottle field as Doily Arts editors butt heads over
which restaurant makes it best.
TOMATO SOUP

PANERA
777 North University Ave.
Panera's tomato soup is pretty tasty
overall. You can tell there are real toma-
toes in it, and it has an enjoyable zesty
flavor. It also comes with croutons, which
is awesome - no less and no more. The
tomato soup at Panera is definitely a solid
choice, rain or shine - plus it only has 300
calories for a large amount of soup. Every-
body wins.
ZINGERMAN'S
422 Detroit St.
Some tomato soups taste like the inside
of a can, but at Zingerman's, the soup
actually tastes like its ingredients. Thick
and textured, it's unabashedly, unasham-
edly tomato. Try to parse out the herbs or
spices in each bite - it's not too difficult.
Best enjoyed with a strong slice of world-
famous Zingerman's bread to dip into it,
this is a tomato soup to return to.

NOODLES
320 South State St.
The tomato soup at Noodles is creamy
and colored a dark, spaghetti-sauce shade
of red. It not only looks like sauce - this
"soup" essentially is. It's very thick, and
you can taste the basil (or some herb). It's
the kind of soup served by Polish grand-
mothers during the colder months, to
instill fortitude against influenza. Also,
it's darn tasty.
TRADER JOE'S
2398 East Stadium Blvd.
Trader Joe's has a deceptive tomato
soup, because the one provided at the
sample counter is infused with some kind.
of smoky spice rub and contains kernels
of crunchy corn at the bottom. But when
you purchase the actual can, hoping to
recreate the melty flavor you tasted in the
store, the result is overly sweet, kind of
bland and overall disappointing.

Have you ever bound your own books?
I have only a couple of times with a couple of cereal boxes.
Are there any rules to graffiti?
Graffiti has a code. You can cover someone else's graffiti if your
graffiti's going to be better than theirs.
Have you ever made some graffiti of your own?
I have gotten drunk once or twice and signed things. Mostly on
corporate posters though, so it's my little the man.
How do you feel about soup?
I'm a big fan of the instant cup of noodles.

TRAILER REVIEW

SINGLE REVIEW

them because his filmic reper-
toire is so damn good.
Not to mention the cast of
"Carnage" is one made of dia-
monds. Picture this: the impec-
cableinflectionsofKateWinslet
("The Reader") paired with the
wolfish grin of Christoph Waltz
("Inglourious Basterds"), and
the straight-laced Jodie Foster
("The Beaver") linking arms
with the furrowed brow of
John C. Reilly ("Cyrus"). Four
heavyweights throwing down
wobbly insults about their chil-

dren in a swanktastic New York
apartment. Drama, drool and
throw-up abound. Delicious.
Yeah, there's always a
chance this thing could fall
through. Maybe all the best
lines in the film have already
been given away in the trail-
er. Maybe the chemistry just
doesn't gel. But when there's
a risk involved, there's some-
times a big payoff. And "Car-
nage" could potentially be that
payoff.

California band Girls's lat-

just because it's being released

pher Owens
wrote this Lawrence
song for
Lawrence True Panther
Hayward of
the '80s British band Felt, pro-
claiming his undying affinity
and admiration.
The single lacks Owens's
distinct androgynous whine,
with no lyrics in it at all. This
absence makes "Lawrence" feel
more like a demo than a single,
but it doesn't really matter: It's
clear that Owens isn't releasing
this song because he thinks of it
as a "hit." "Lawrence" is a sim-
ple track loaded with personal
sentiment; Owens is giving
Hayward a musical, probably

safe to say that Jim Cameron
never envisioned a nonfiction
film about modern dance to be
so immersed in his beloved tech-

It seems like a disservice to
call "Pina" just a "dance docu-

of music video, musical and
