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 [...]
Hello everyone at UC Berkeley, the world, and wherever you hail from! My name is Jo, a freshman at UC Berkeley, and this is my very first post. Griffin, Caliber’s blog manager, is wonderful enough to grant me my own column, and here I am! You may have read in my bio that I am [...]
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 [...]
So as an English Student travelling to study for the year in America, it seemed likely that there were going to be a few cultural differences. Most people that I’ve met here in America have tended to have the common preconception that Brits are polite, prudish and posh tea-drinkers: the reality couldn’t be further. The [...]
While we may not always consciously realize it, many of us utilize technology that makes multitasking easier every single day. Driving while texting? Multitasking (…not that any of us would ever do that…). Cooking while simultaneously listening to music and Skyping with your friend in Argentina? Multitasking. Checking your email while waiting for that Hulu [...]
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. The rules stipulated [...]
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 [...]
