Prospect II gives students chance to appreciate art
The annual Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts kicked off last Wednesday evening with Prospect II. This was the second of two exhibitions held this semester showcasing the works of the 2007-2008 Post-Baccalaureate students in Studio Art. Now in its fifteenth year, the Post-baccalaureate program has gained much recognition, being noted in the New […]
City of Angels: No place for the ordinary
Director Aaron Arbiter ’10 appropriately ended his note from the director in the City of Angels program saying, “This is no ordinary musical, so please sit back and enjoy the extraordinary.” Certainly City of Angels is not your ordinary musical as the plot interweaves two stories in one. Stine (Ross Brown ’10), who plays the […]
I love you Jens Lekman
There comes a point in every music writer’s career when he is tempted to throw journalistic integrity out the window and exclaim to the world, “I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU, JENS LEKMAN!” Though this might seem a slight exaggeration, the audience last Friday night at the Paradise Rock Club was wildly enthusiastic enough to […]
From jungle to jungle
Do you know who New Zealand’s most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo is? I don’t either.

However, to the endearing, but initially pathetic protagonist of Run, Fatboy, Run, the way to a woman’s heart is by running a marathon. In Run, Fatboy, Run, British loser Dennis, […]
Marketing is far more successful than you might think
Trends in consumer behavior demonstrate that people generally assume that purchasing merchandise on sale proves that they are conscientious about spending money. Most people chose to shop during sale season, or when a good deal is offered; however, often times people simply see a “smart bargain” as an excuse to make a purchase which they […]
The Roots grow in new direction
The Roots, who need no introduction from me, are the influential, hip-hop oriented, jazz influenced band out of Philadelphia that is highly respected for their artistic integrity and its conscience in the face of today’s more commercial hip hop. The band, led by drummer Questlove and MC Black Thought have always taken pride in pushing […]
