Telegraph Treasures: Evanescence at Fox Theater, October 10

Oct 28, 2011 No Comments by

After nearly a five-year hiatus, Evanescence has returned in October 2011 with the release of their third and newest self-titled album, Evanescence. Now, while their music is profound, and has been so ever since their debut in 2003, I’m not here to review their album. I would only regurgitate all of the wondrous praise that [...]

Sep 23, 2011 3 Comments by

So what is there to do on a Tuesday afternoon? Go to lecture, catch up on assigned reading, sit around a table with Seth Rogen and Will Reiser…oh wait, I did that! You read right, I, being the lucky Caliber journalist that I am, was invited to attend a roundtable among a variety of media outlets [...]

May 07, 2011 4 Comments by

Dead week will officially be over in one day. In 24 hours, all excuses, procrastination strategies and lazy day plans will be invalid, and finals week will be upon us. Sure, these past seven days have been great: leisurely café study days followed by wine night, Dexter Marathon, Beat-the Clock and Cinco de Mayo. But [...]

Tea and Treble: Two Weeks of Fauxchella, Countless Memories (Reviews)

Apr 24, 2011 2 Comments

Most of those who ventured to Indio’s Empire Polo Field last weekend came back home claiming, “Coachella changed my life.” Exactly what this means I might only learn once I manage to attend the massive three-day music festival myself, but until then I can only gather my life-changing experiences from my time right here in [...]

Of Frogs and Bears — Okkervil River or why I still love American music

Apr 14, 2011 2 Comments

Because I recently read (on this very blog) that today’s music has no lyrics, and heard (from a lovely-looking musician kid) that American music was simply the worst, I feel it is my duty to now tell you about Okkervil River.

US Royalty: An Empire to be Reckoned With

Apr 10, 2011 1 Comment

Congress and indie rock n’ roll. The two subjects do not mix together. But for US Royalty, an up-and-coming band, it’s a juxtaposition that describes their beginnings. Hailing from Washington DC, the four piece indie band were once public servants working in governmental jobs until they decided to give it all up to pursue the [...]

Me Against the Music: The 30 Day Song Challenge (Part 1)

Fifteen days ago, one of my best friends posted a video of the Beatles’ song “Blackbird” on her Facebook profile. The caption read “30 Day Song Challenge, Day 1: Favorite song.” Intrigued, I clicked on the “30 Day Song Challenge” page she had tagged in her post and found the Facebook page.

Of Frogs and Bears — Three Frenchies lost in California: Revolver

Mar 12, 2011 1 Comment

We all were too silly to bring our cameras to the show so the Revolver pictures are a courtesy of Revolver. I’ll update the pictures if I find some from last night. Not very often does a French band make it to the States. Why would they? Nobody here understands French anyway, plus we suck [...]
