When college students throw down, there is no doubt that the most crucial factor for a raging night is the perfect playlist.
If I had to just throw out some words to describe the new Flaming Lips album, a plethora of adjectives could fit the bill: Dark.
Oh, reality television stars. How we love you. And hate you. And, of course, love to hate you.
Until quite recently, ?sobriety? was not a word one used much when discussing Ryan Adams? music.
Even if you?re just a casual fan of The Streets, it is safe to say 2006?s The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living was a disappointment.
Sorry to upset Rage Against the Machine fans, but if you buy this album and expect to hear the type of face-melting guitar solos and wailing lyrics that Tom Morello became known for as the lead guitarist for Audioslave and Rage, you will be sorely disappointed.
From the very first frame, Choke stakes its claim as the most provocative, stomach-churning film of the year ? an attitude that does not cease for a second of this thoroughly seedy (but nonetheless fantastic) movie based on the Chuck Palahniuk novel of the same name.Choke stars Sam Rockwell as Victor Mancini, a protagonist who could best be described as a waste of life.
In the world of primetime television, the old adage that ?everything old is new again? has been taken to an extreme in recent years.
Despite the numerous moments of brilliance found in The Verve?s first three albums, many people still have trouble recalling any of the group?s songs other than the epic ?Bittersweet Symphony.? While the anthemic single was one of the best songs of the 1990s, to reduce the band to that one bit of music would be an insult to the myriad other great songs they have created.Punningly titled Forth, the group?s long-awaited fourth album picks up right where Urban Hymns left off 11 years ago ? swirling, distorted, noisy (yet beautiful) prog rock that is unlike anything else on the radio today.Clocking in 10 tracks at a little more than 60 minutes, the disc contains only one song shorter than 5.5 minutes.
As college students, we appreciate the value of getting anything for free. Free T-shirts, free food -- anything that we don't have to pay for instantly becomes much more attractive.
