1. "LIVE 2012" BY COLDPLAY — RELEASE DATE: NOV. 19
The first live film and album combination from Coldplay in nine years, "Live 2012" was produced at several shows during the band's Mylo Xyloto"tour.Fans can expect vintage renditions of songs such as "Clocks" and "Fix You," along with a few unique live versions. Lead singer Chris Martin and his piano take center stage on a slowed-down "Yellow" as thousands of audience members provide a chilling chorus of background vocals.
2. "UNAPOLOGETIC" BY RIHANNA — RELEASE DATE: NOV. 19
Rihanna first made the Billboard Hot 100 in 2005 as a gimmick, pseudo-Caribbean singer with the single "Pon de Replay." She has since transformed into a pop music powerhouse, combining Beyoncé-level talent with tattooed-rebel appeal, and her seventh studio project "Unapologetic" promises to continue the trend. The album features production work from David Guetta and Swedish House Mafia, along with Rihanna's first collaboration with Eminem since 2010's "Love the Way You Lie."
3. "O.N.I.F.C." BY WIZ KHALIFA
— RELEASE DATE: DEC. 4
To say expectations are high for the upcoming sophomore album from Pittsburgh king Wiz Khalifa would be a gross understatement. Although 2011's "Rolling Papers" sold well, many critics and fans alike condemned the emcee's first studio recording as being too "pop" and too drastic a departure from his earlier, mixture-happy brand of hardcore rap. It should be interesting to see what direction he takes with "O.N.I.F.C.," as the only pre-released single, "Remember You," features Khalifa's classic, lazy-in-a-goody-way flow.
4. "¡TRÉ!" BY GREEN DAY — RELEASE DATE: DEC. 11
Green Day — now punk rock elder statesmen, having been together since 1987 — are coming out with "¡Tré!" which will be the final album in a 2012 trilogy that has also included "Uno!" and
"jDos!." If the first two albums in the series are any indication, "Tré!" will likely be a mixture of the distorted guitar punch that made the band famous and some more adventurous tunes. On "jDos!," for example, the tracks "Nightlife" and "Amy" are stripped-down and uncharacteristically playful Green song days.
5. "VIICIOUS LIES AND DANGEROUS RUMORS" BY BIG BOI — RELEASE DATE: DEC. 11
"Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors" will be the second album from OutKast rapper Big Boi following 2010's "Sir Lucius Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty." Big Boi was always known for complementing the eccentric André 3000 with his distinct Southern drawl and penchant for stuffing words together in rapid succession, but he has also become a respected solo artist in recent years. Several pre-released songs from "Vicious Lies" are available on SoundCloud. One in particular that stands out, "Mama Told Me," is a symphony of talk box effects and '80s drum samples.

Audiences laud 'Into the Woods'

The University Theatre Department will continue showing off its musical talent in its production of "Into the Woods."
"I thought it was excellent," said Audrey Shamet, a senior from Shawnee. "It was the first time I'd ever seen the show."
The show, written by Broadway veteran Stephen Sondheim, tells the story of a baker and his wife who are cursed to be childless. The pair must complete tasks involving fairy tale characters from stories such as Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood, who also have challenges to face throughout the story.
Jaclyn Nischbach, a freshman from Wildwood, Mo., as Little Red Riding Hood and Alexander Goering, a senior from Olathe as Jack (in the Beanstock) in Into the Woods.
"It's one of Sondheim's best scores," director John Stauinus said. "I also love fairy tales and think they're important to how we think as humans and about our own lives."
The show opened on Nov. 9 and was well-received by the audience.
"Being in shows is just part of my life," she said. "There was no real question of whether or not I was going to audition."
Madeline Cummings, a Benedictine College student from Shawnee, said the show was wonderful, and "the cast and the story were great."
Stanuinas said the decision to do the show was made around March.
"There were so many factors to consider — the actors, crew and the musicians from the School of Music," he said. "This is an important experience for all of them because they'll be doing this their whole careers."
Lawrence freshman Lily Lancaster, who portrays Snow White in the show, added her reasons for wanting to be in the production.
For some cast members, like Sofia Belhouari, a freshman from Overland Park who portrays
Cinderella in the show, being a part of the production also exposed her to other aspects of the theater business.
"It's opened my eyes so much to what's going on underneath everything," Belhouari said. "It's been great to be placed in a college environment and learning from everyone and allowing myself to apply some of the same stuff. It's also been a great opportunity to get my feet wet in a college environment."
Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Nov. 15-17 with a final matinee performance on Nov. 18, all in Murphy Hall's Crafton-Preyer Theatre.
"If people doubt whether to come, they should make the time to come," Belhouari said. "They'll walk out and have a sense of perspective on how to live and share your life with others."
Reserved seat tickets for "Into the Woods" are on sale in the KU ticket offices as well as online at kutheatre.com. Tickets are $20 for the public, $19 for senior citizens and KU faculty and staff, and $10 for all students. For more information, call University Theatre at 785-864-3982 and the Lied Center at 785-864-ARTS.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO AFTER COLLEGE?
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR FREE TIME?
I'm not sure exactly what I want to do after college, but I know I want to work with people — anything that involves helping someone out. I like to talk; I'm a people person.
I model a lot out in Kansas City, but when I do have a free day to myself, I love to cook and bake while listening to good music.
WHAT KIND OF MUSIC IS ON YOUR IPOD?
I love The Weeknd, J Cole,
Drake and Wale. Music is so important to me.
WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST TURNOFF?
Guys who say things because they think it is going to impress you, like a show off.
WHAT WOULD IMPRESS YOU?
Simple and cute things. That's how I am. Nothing too elaborate. Cook me dinner and let's watch a movie.
HOW SHOULD A GUY AP-
PROACH YOU? TWITTER DM?
FACEBOOK?
Definitely don't DM me. That's weird. You have to talk to me in person.
WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT TOLERATE?
Liars. And I would never date someone who has dated one of my friends.
I guess I would have to go with smart. But if you can't make me laugh, you can't make me do anything.
FUNNY, INTELLIGENT OR GOOD-LOOKING?
