I first discovered Los Angeles’ garage-blues duo Deap Vally in August, when skimming through a set of photos taken by Spin Magazine at San Francisco’s 2013 Outside Lands Festival. In the set were two photos of Deap Vally in the middle of a song. The first photo shows vocalist/guitarist Lindsey Troy banging out a chord […]
“I live in America, which is the land of the free, and I feel like if you can’t express yourself, you’re not very free,” states Miley Cyrus in her MTV documentary “Miley: The Movement.” Now say what you want about Cyrus, but she certainly has more balls than anyone else in Hollywood. In her new […]
Researchers at Brandeis University are unique in both their discoveries and backgrounds. Professor Andrew Koh (CLAS) unearthed an unusual find in Tel Kabri, Israel, this summer, with classicists, archaeologists and laboratory scientists. In a palatial complex, 40 large perfume vessels were found largely intact, creating great mystery as to their survival and importance. Beginning his […]
Last week, Brandeis womens volleyball participated in the Mid-Coast Classic against Colby-Sawyer, Bowdoin and Bates. Although the Judges ended up going 1-2 during the three-game stretch, the team managed to end on a high note by eking out a 3-2 win over Bates. With position changes all over the court, the weekend turned out to […]
Throughout my life, I’ve been heavily involved in community service and philanthropy, having performed outreach to the elderly, distributed food to low-income families and walked against cancer. When I initially toured Brandeis at the beginning of my college application process, I was struck by what I described at the time as “the overall vibe of […]
In the aftermath of the shutdown of the federal government, Brandeis will experience minimal impact. Most services will still be available, including financial aid and research operations, although some federal website resources have been negatively affected. PubMed, a resource many students access to find scientific journal articles, will still be operational during the shutdown, as […]
The Major League Baseball Playoffs have finally begun, albeit in a different manner than we would usually expect. Instead of the system that has been used since 1995, where four teams from each league earn a spot in the postseason, five teams from each league will now get a chance. One-game wild card matchups took […]
We lost an integral part of our lives this past week, and it will be extremely difficult for anything else to ever fill that void. It was not the federal government, which barely does anything useful to begin with. It was “Breaking Bad,” the critically-acclaimed drama that aired its series finale this past Sunday night. […]
The smell of fall is in the air, and along with pleasant weather, changing leaves and pumpkin spice lattes, autumn at Brandeis is filled with several Jewish holidays. On most college campuses, observant Jewish students must miss class to celebrate these holidays, but since there is such a large Jewish population at Brandeis, and it […]
You’re tired and hungry from a long day. Being the typical Brandeisian you are, aside from your classes, you’ve had two club meetings, spent time at work and maybe had a spare moment to exercise. You enter Sherman after this long day, hoping to have a nice, relaxing dinner, re-energize with some food and decompress […]
