The two Carleton students responsible for running DC++ have thrown in the towel, shutting down the file-sharing program beloved by hundreds of Carleton’s residence students.

The two DC++ administrators, who did not want to be identified by name for liability reasons, have been running the program since the fall of 2006.

Sainthood
Tegan and Sara
Warner Music

4/5

The new album Sainthood from Canadian twin duo Tegan and Sara is an excellent collection of synthesizer-driven songs predominantly about troubled love.

The album is a natural progression from their previous album, The Con, in that the apparent mood is different but the style and music is essentially very similar.

Many of the songs seem to have a more positive and upbeat sound than the sad melodies found in many songs on The Con.
