...there's nothing quite like the image of your child on a registry of sex offenders to concentrate the parental mind. It now has a catchy new label, but "sexting" has been around, as a prank and a problem, for years: in 2004 a 15-year-old Pittsburgh, Pa., girl was charged with sexual abuse of children and dissemination of child pornography when she posted nude pictures of herself online. This seemed like a confounding twist in prosecutorial philosophy, since the victim and the villain in this case were the same child. But just in the past year, more than...
Rockus is upon us. Harvard’s only student-run record label (Veritas Records) and Rolling Stone Collection sponsored Battle of the Bands, Rockus, has been rocking the Loft at Tommy Doyle’s for the last three weekends, replete with all the great wah-wah leaden guitar solos and terrible college band names you could dream of (The Sound of Growing Up, Sex!, Francis & the Lost Marbles). This past Saturday though, it was Harvard’s turn; BC, BU, Berklee, MIT, Emerson, and Tufts had already staked their claim and chosen one band apiece to send...

On Thursday, the artist performed songs mostly from her two latest albums, “Tres Cosas” and “Son,” released in the U.S. on UK-based label Domino records in 2004 and 2006, respectively. On “Son,” her most recent release, Molina takes inspiration from Argentina’s national bird, the hornero, integrating its playful and melodic calls as a motif in her compositions.

Full of standard guitar riffs, simple rock beats, and sapless whining, these songs lacks any real substance and raise the question of whether or not the Black Lips are really as label bending as they claim to be. “Short Fuse” emerges mid-album like a mirage through the barren rubble of mediocre punk-rock anthems. The upbeat, danceable song still sounds like a high school band performing at a talent show, but such earnestness comes across well. Even...
...Banhart, Joanna Newsom, Hope Sandoval—“Tight Knit” comes across very much as the work of a single voice. “Tight Knit” is Vetiver’s debut recording for Sub Pop, the luminary king of indie pop record labels and home to the Shins and Postal Service. This move from Cabic and Banhart’s own label Gnomonsong is evident in the production of the album, with a sound that is cleaner and more expansive than Vetiver’s previous recordings. The major label seems to serve...
