Goodbyes are tough.
Summer's begun and so have the blockbusters. Whether you're looking for something to do on a rainy day or have some free time to kill, you might be wondering which films hit or miss. Below is a list of a few new releases and where they fall on the must-see scale.
On campuses across the country, iconic, fleece-lined Australian boots manage to sneak their way onto the legs of seemingly fashion-conscious girls year after year.
Trends are the ebb and flow of the fashion pool. They arrive in huge, abrupt waves and wash out just as quickly. Most are sported by the likes of stylish celebrities, and some are created right here on campus.
Anton Newcombe isn't your run-of-the-mill cult figure.
It is not every day that you walk into your first period class as an aspiring musician and walk out with a manager, but that is exactly what happened for members of the Florida pop group Mark & James.
Like every semester over the last couple of years, I have many friends graduating this term.
For some, summer means no school, endless hours of basking in the sun, and milking your parents for money before you go back to "adult duties" in the fall. For me, though, it means paying absurdly high prices on Ticketmaster to see some of pop music's biggest acts perform extravagant sets in not-ideal-for-live-music venues, like NBA arenas. To help you decide what to check out this summer, here are few of my picks.
Many of actor Evan Handler's fans know him best as Harry Goldenblatt from "Sex and the City": the balding husband to WASP-turned-yenta Charlotte York.
Matt Pond called me in a whisper aboard his tour bus Saturday afternoon.
You have probably never heard of Estelle, but you will shortly.
Ani Previc, 21, stands 4 feet 10 inches tall, but has not let her size or age stop her from seeing her goals to fruition.
Blame it on the blogs. Blame it on the fickle keyboard elitists who promised us that Tapes 'n Tapes was the second coming of Pavement, the perfectly refined seed of Frank Black and Kim Deal, the revolution that would reclaim the Minneapolis post-punk high ground long abandoned by the Replacements.
This summer's fashion is all about mixing it up. It's about making a splash with bold colors and prints, as well as experimenting with ethnic-inspired pieces.
One of the luxuries of writing this column for some time is that I can go back and read my earlier columns and shake my head in shame.
This Friday marks the culmination of quite a journey for a little screenplay that could when "Leatherheads" hits the big screen.
Nightmare of You is not a hardcore band (however misleading their name may be), it is not a pop-punk band and the members are not fighting against their roots.
Admit it, ladies.
After the Raconteurs got burned a few years back for proclaiming to NME that "Broken Boy Soldiers" would be their answer to Nirvana's "Nevermind," they apparently decided to dial down the hype machine.
