The GLOriFIed Summer Soundtrack
It’s been a rough year – this summer should be one to relax, unwind…to chill. What better to accompany your restful time off than the relaxing yet groovy, loungey yet toe tapping, shoegaze yet dance-craze music of growing genre Chillwave.
Pioneered in the mid 2000’s, Chillwave or “Glo-Fi” music can be distingui...

THEESatisfaction
Sounds Like: Shabazz Palaces, Erykah Badu, The Internet (I promise it's someone from Odd Future)
It took a lot for me to finally listen to this duo compromised of Stasia Irons and Catherine Harris-White. Let that be a lesson to all of you, this band is a must listen if you like to straddle the line between rap, hip hop and indie music.
Thei...

Though I still have one more week of going to Cayuga Correctional Facility, this is the last time I'll be writing about it, at least till the print issue is distributed.
Over the course of the semester, a lot of the inmates that were in my class have been released. Instead of my 20 person class, I'm now left will only 10 men. I should be sad, but now, I find myself e...

Beach House
Sounds Like: Mazzy Star, Stevie Nicks

On an oppressively hot Tuesday afternoon last week, the stoic Johnson Museum held a lecture by the man who designed one of the most stoic structures in America today: the National September 11 Memorial. Architect Michael Arad came to speak as part of the History of Art Majors’ annual exhibition, the theme of which this year revolves around how we perceive and interact wi...

This is a little old sorry just thought I would post it anyway
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...

Metric
Sounds Like: Stars, Muse, Broken Social Scene, My Favorite Band
Metric has been around for awhile, so technically I'm lying when I say that they are an Artist on the Rise. However, I continually want them to be more appreciated than they are, so maybe this column will help. Emily Haines fronts the band with her beautifully soft voice and painfully real l...
