Entertainment COACHELLA WEEK ONE: THE HIGHLIGHTS
(No Comments)
I think we all can agree Coachella has become a sort of stock market for hipsters. It's essentially the exact same every year— two weekends, almost identical lineups— yet it still seems to sell out in about an hour.  I wouldn’t necessarily be jumping to pay $800 for a ticket but having flocked to the YouTube live steam this entire weekend, it's difficult to deny the...

Magazine PRISON!
(No Comments)
I haven't been to prison for weeks. I miss being the spelling bee judge, or just bonding with the inmates over my lack of knowledge about Lil Wayne. Last week and this week is Spring Break for the teachers in the class, and unfortunately we don't have class during this period.

So, it's been a while. I would be ashamed or regretful, but that would imply that I thought I had readers. Since this is not the case, I am really not all that worried about it. Again while I have been gone the American voters have started to resemble an old Monty Python sketch. In the sketch the Pythons run their own political coverage between the silly candidates and the... Read More

Zola Jesus Sounds Like: Xiu Xiu, M83, darker Florence & The Machine To be honest, my first state of Nika Rosa Danilova was through the song "Intro" on M83's most recent album, so I can't quite claim to be an expert on her music. However, after hearing her thunderous voice take the song to new heights, I figured that her music itself was worth giving a shot.... Read More

I've now been volunteering at the Cayuga Correctional Facility for a little over 2 months, and I've loved every second. Creating new and fun ways to engage the students has really helped shape me as a student but also has changed my career path. Before volunteering with the Cornell Prison Education Program, I was not sure that I wanted to be a professor, but now I find ... Read More

The full interview with Stephanie Owens, CCA Director, can be found here: http://www.slopemedia.org/genres/arts-entertainment/an-interview-with-stephanie-owens-cca-director/ That many students end their time here having never explored Cornell’s vibrant art scene is an intellectual and aesthetic travesty.
