	Cat Power: great voice, terrible stage presence by Tiffany Reagan Two very eccentric women performed at the McDonald Theatre Saturday. The night opened with Parisian artist Anne Laure, who was unsure about the pronunciation of Eugene. As she walked on stage she said, "Hello gene. Eu....gene. Gene?" Laure's performance was eccentric, to say the least. She spelled out her stage name to the crowd ("A-P-P-A-L-O-O-S-A"), did jumping jacks and sang about horses, naturally.
	Be a good neighbor and turn off the techno music by Jaime Swindle It's Wednesday morning and I'm sleeping peacefully through the early hours of the day because I don't have class until 2 p.m. In my dreams, I'm strolling through a tranquil forest when all of a sudden the ground starts violently shaking and I can hear the land tearing apart through a brutal earthquake. And then I wake up. It's then that I realize that there is no earthquake; my bed is just shaking from the bass vibrations of the shitty techno song blaring from the apartment below. At this point I groggily sit up and take a look at the time. What the hell - it's only 8 a.m.? Who bumps the same ridiculous techno song on repeat at 8 a.m.?
	Pushing boundaries with Margaret Cho Cho spoke to the Emerald about her new tour, politics, and the benefits of burlesque. by Matt Sevits & Tiffany Reagan What if you woke up tomorrow and you were beautiful? Margaret Cho hates that question.
	'Prom Night' remake is a total waste of time The movie has little in common with its '80s slasher roots and even less common sense by Kevin Glenn "Prom Night," starring Jamie Lee Curtis, was hilarious, frightening, and original and took place on the night of the senior prom. "Prom Night," the recent remake starring Brittany Snow, also takes place on the night of prom. And there, the similarities stop. Maybe this is because the producers of the movie felt that few people remember the '80s slasher flick that helped pave the way for ironic and self-referential horror movies like "Scream" or "I Know What You Did Last Summer." Or maybe, as shown by the rest of the film, they just didn't care. The latter seems more likely. "Prom Night" starts off by showing us Donna Keppel, (played by Snow) as she comes home to find her family being massacred by her former teacher who had become dangerously obsessed with her.
