Review: The Family Jewels

Margaret Borgmeyer March 5, 2010

On her debut album, Marina Diamondis makes claims that she is not a robot, that you are vulnerable,  and oh, Lord, she has been told to take the unforsaken road. Complex lyrics were not the only thing...

Review: ‘This Addiction’

Brett Story March 5, 2010

I have not been a fan of Alkaline Trio for several releases. The digital age ruined their punk age that made it okay to listen to emo. In fact, front-man Matt Skiba was not even heart-broken enough to...

Review: ‘Shutter Island’

Review: ‘The Book Thief’

Katie Schlimpert February 4, 2010

Review: ‘Contra’

Katie Schlimpert January 29, 2010

The new Vampire Weekend album "Contra" is simply delightful. I'd have to say that's the best way to describe it. Refreshing and simply delightful. Each song has intricate beats and sweet sounding lyrics...

After only 26 days into the new year, gamers have already been graced with one of the top nominees for Game of the Year. With stunning visual effects, nearly no load times, an epic space opera story,...

Review: ‘Ghosts on the Boardwalk’

Brett Story January 27, 2010

"Ghosts on the Boardwalk" is the album compilation of the Bouncing Souls' "20th Anniversery Series" from last year, where they put out a new single every month. I heard a few of the tracks last year,...

Review: ‘Youth in Revolt’

Katie Schlimpert January 22, 2010

As a contrasting opinion to those who believe 'Youth in Revolt' is hilariously witty and comedic, I believe the movie happened to fall more on the side of mildly entertaining with bouts of hilarity. Perhaps...

Review: ‘Of the Blue Colour of the Blue Sky’

Megan Berberich January 22, 2010

If you have ever listened to any of Ok Go's past albums, then their newest one will most likely shock you. Compared to their self titled album and "Oh No" that both focused more on steady rock, "Of the...

Review: Marina and the Diamonds

Review: ‘Poetry of the Deed’

Brett Story December 17, 2009
