“Fucked Up has had a bizarre career. The fairly straightforward hardcore punk outfit plays with a bearded dudes playing in a basement vibe and odd flourishes here and there that carry it into something more interesting than you’d expect. Couple of Tracks is their newest release and it’s a compilation of their singles from 2002-2009.”

fucked up - "a couple of tracks"
mp3: passion pit "telephone remix"
“The track buzzing through the indie-blogosphere for the last couple days has been Passion Pit’s remix of Lady GaGa’s Telephone ft. Beyonce. Yes, this evil Frankenstein’d travesty exists.

mp3: brian jonestown massacre - "let's go fucking mental"
“The Brian Jonestown Massacre, the best kept secret in fuzz-rock is coming out with a brand new album, Who Killed Sgt. Pepper. Until its February 23rd release date, all that’s leaked so far is their track “Let’s Go F**king Mental”.”
Poignant and bittersweet for Conan O'Brien's "Tonight Show"
“The last episode of Conan O’Brien’s “The Tonight Show” aired tonight and for the most part is was a love letter to fans. O’Brien came into the “Tonight Show” studio amidst thunderous applause and cheers and quickly established that tonight would be O’Brien’s “Tonight Show” as usual.”

'40s musical brings old NY to campus
Published: 10/30/09
“The University’s production of “On The Town” was an odd one. Directed by James J. Kolb and starring Colgan McNeil, Kaitlin Rose, Chris Balestriere, Alexandra Laks, Steven Spera and Gina Ventura, “On The Town” featured a strong sense of energy powered by a tight ensemble, accompanying band and vibrant set.”
Paramore's 'Brand New Eyes' is bland at best
Published: 10/13/09
“‘Brand New Eyes,’ is the newest effort by Paramore, a female fronted pop act that walk the tenuous line between stealing New Found Glory riffs and stealing Maroon 5 riffs. Their newest album attempts to craft something original, which they do, albeit boring.”
