Before 2013 I had heard little of anything by the band Wavves. What I had heard was a few songs off of their most well known record (and at this time still most well known, at least until March 26th) King Of The Beach. I had liked it well enough, […]

Jack, The Guy Who Really Doesn’t Do Much
#8220;Jack the Giant Slayer” is the 2013 fantasy-adventure film (as we’ve had a shortage of these films) from director Bryan Singer. It’s the story of Jack and the Beanstalk/Jack the Giant Killer (they changed the name to seem more friendly, don’t ask me how that’s any better) with some elements, […]
WPCR Goes Live Online: An Interview With Manager Nick Landry
This week our college’s radio station, 91.7 WPCR, went live with its web streaming service on its website, wpcr.org. To celebrate the event, I sat down with the manager of the station, my good buddy Nick Landry, who along with other affiliates of the radio, such as Paul Rogalus, Mike […]
The Rise and Return of Ziggy
Let’s claim 2013 as the year of Bowie. It’s safe to say the master is back, everyone else can go home. After a ten year hiatus Bowie decided the best thing to do for his birthday was to release new music, an album called The Next Day, for his fans, […]

Alabama Shakes Are Just Another Flash In The Pan
If there is one band that seems to have come out of nowhere recently it’s Alabama Shakes. This blues-garage rock band from, you guessed it, Alabama, is the next big thing that has yet to hit the radio. No one seems to know a thing about them and many hadn’t […]
A Theory on an Overrated Big Bang
Star-gazers and enthusiasts of the physical universe as a whole, I am sorry to say this will not be about the event that created everything and anything. I am in no way qualified to speak of such grandiose thinking, which is why I write about television, and why this article […]
A Good Day For Die Hard To Die
Don’t see this movie. In a perfect world that would be all that’s required to know about this film but since The Clock has a required minimum word count for articles let’s elaborate. A Good Day to Die Hard is the second attempt to revive an action franchise that […]
Why The Oscars Suck
The Oscars suck. Shallow people think that they are the end all be all when it comes to movie honors. But those people never seem to be able to answer the question of why exactly the Academy Awards matter? I honestly couldn’t tell you. I mean, I have theories. But […]
