As a self-acknowledged sports geek, I love power rankings. The act of picking a pecking order always fascinates me. I mean, I love music, too, but besides the singing and the blind audition process, that’s probably the other biggest reason I love NBC’s The Voice…it gives me plenty of opportunities to make power rankings.

So while on my retreat for my professional fraternity this past weekend, we decided to play a thoroughly epic game. The name of this game is: epic mafia. I’m sure all of you have heard of the group game called mafia, where you have your basic roles of townsperson/villager, cop/sheriff, doctor/healer, mafia, and god/the narrator. In this [...]
The de Young Museum in San Francisco is the only venue to feature fifty paintings by Venetian old masters primarily from the sixteen century, including Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto, Mantegna, and many more. All of these paintings are currently on loan from the Gemäldegalerie of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Currently, this is the [...]
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 [...]
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!

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 [...]
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 [...]
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. Because they might simply save your life, or at least restore your faith in [...]
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 [...]
