Spring Break
Spring is here! I'm on my way to South Street's vicinity, more specifically to 510 Bainbridge St., and I am soaking wet because of the week long rainstorm. Between South and Bainbridge streets the change in environment is radical; South always seems crowded, Bainbridge seems lonely, yet the two streets are a block apart.
If there's one thing I hate, it's the Dave Matthews Band. Nothing gets my goat like the chorus of Tripping Billies. Hearing director Paul Higgis say his film's name was somewhat inspired by David Cronenberg's 1996 film, Crash was just as reassuring as his lack of any mention of the aforementioned musicians.
Brendan Benson's new album "Alternative to Love" was recently released on V2 Records. He's currently embarked on a brief North American tour that will be followed by a stint in Europe. Benson has been a critical darling largely ignored in the United States.
Get Away from Me is the 2-CD debut album of Nellie McKay. On the album, McKay displays her full prowess as a performer, exploring different styles of music, like jazz and cabaret, with her strong and versatile singing and piano-playing. On "The Dog Song," she proclaims the simple joys of having a pet within a sophisticated, swinging musical framework.
So, are the post Saint Patrick's Day blues are getting to you? You just can't wait another year to sport your "Kiss me, I'm Irish" shirt while enjoying a foaming glass of Guinness to the sounds of Flogging Molly? Well, if you are feeling deprived of that Irish spirit and are in need of some green in your life (and I don't mean money), then look no further than 2nd and Chestnut Street where you will find The Plough and the Stars, a charming Irish pub with a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Dear Danielle, Q: My suitemate and I just got a new roommate at the start of this spring term. We were very content with our situation and are not happy about this new edition to our room. She's a nice girl and all, but we want her gone. How do we go about getting rid of her? -Unwelcoming A: Ditching the new roomie may be hard for you to do because of her niceness, but you're just going to have to get over that if you really want her gone.
Poetry is perhaps one of the most beautiful ways of expressing and describing one's opinion or even a mere observation. In an age where the modern youth is practically oblivious to the sensation of romance poetry is definitely not the most popular thing around.
Hollywood wants your ideas, and they're ready to search beyond the boundaries of Tinsletown! Whether you've got a great sales pitch for a reality television series or a brilliant idea for a feature film, the industry is thirsty for hot new concepts. One man is setting out to bridge the gap between starving artists and studio executives.
