Netflix Binge Drinking Game: Jessica Jones

Marvel fans rejoice: There’s a new heroine in town and she’s hardcore. Jessica Jones is the most recent character to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a 13-episode series on Netflix, released Nov. 20. The series follows the same nitty-gritty, dark essence the first Netflix-Marvel collaboration “Daredevil” was filmed in, and just like the former, “Jessica Jones” does not disappoint.

Off the Record: Top 10 Hip-Hop albums of 2015

2015 will go down as one of the best years for not only hip-hop, but for music in general. We barely went two or three weeks without a new album being released. With all these great artists putting out tons of new music, it is time to release my top 10 albums of the year.

Iowa caucus and the (hopeful) fall of Donald Trump

Ever since the announcement of his campaign last summer, Donald Trump has been an unstoppable force in politics. Although most of his speeches are just ramblings about whatever controversial topic he feels like discussing that day, with nary a hint of a coherent policy in sight, many of his supporters like that he “speaks his mind.” Trump has had the privilege of high poll numbers and media attention despite his lack of experience in public service. But Trump’s campaign now faces a challenge that has felled many presidential campaigns in the past: the Iowa caucus.

LCD Soundsystem reunites, we reflect on its influence

We here in the Opinions corner of the Alligator have a profound respect for music. However, our love for the medium is generally not enough to overcome the realities of a daily student newspaper, where the witty commentary and strong emotions of the lone editorial are generally reserved for that day’s top stories, NOT the passions of music obsessives. So it was to our surprise and excitement that the reformation of LCD Soundsystem not only generated headlines but did so in several prominent publications: Hey, if it’s good enough for Time magazine, the L.A. Times and The Guardian, it’s good enough for us.
