...college kids to reflect on how far we’ve come. It wasn’t so long ago that many of us wandered through the unfamiliar streets of Cambridge ourselves, imagining the endless possibilities of scintillating lectures, keg parties, late-night debates over Lolita in hipster coffee shops, and access to endless alcohol, or at least a really good fake ID. Of course, the reality turns out to be a little different, and it’s nice to be reminded of our former naivete. But perhaps these prefrosh are on to something. Whatever happened to that sense...
Sure, FlyBy admits it: Before March rolled around, "Ratatat" was an onomatopoetic way of suggesting that somebody was at the door. Or that the old man upstairs was doing his Riverdance routine again.

James is no morose hipster caught up in memories of the past. Nor is he Benjamin Braddock, lolling about, passively awaiting seduction. James is seeking the future as fast as he can and resenting any minute he has to spend in this awful present...
...Hipster, gangster, intellectual, pop star—Kanye West never can quite decide which one he likes best. Now, finally, he seems to have figured out; in a kind of epiphany, Kanye decides that he’s all of these things, plus a painter— all too literally, a Renaissance man. “Knock You Down” begins and ends with Keri Hilson’s seemingly lifeless body falling slowly through the air, but neither this bizarre sight nor later shenanigans by Ne-Yo is any match for the Kanye Show. His act opens with...
