Girl Talk, the stage name of Gregg Gillis, is known for his distinctive mash-up remixes, as well as his performance style. The former biomedical engineer often strips to his underwear and performs with only a laptop that he covers with saran wrap to protect it from his flying sweat as he bounces about onstage...
...disappointing has been the new General Education program (Gen Ed), which has little to show after five years of debate. Although a preliminary report released a year and a half ago contained inspiring promises of engaged intellectualism and global citizenship, Gen Ed has since then devolved into an insipid mash-up of compromises that is essentially a redux of the old Core. A scant 37 Gen Ed courses have been approved for the 2008-2009 academic year, and only seven more for the following fall.

They call their sound...

And it's amazing to eat in those towns, or to down tapas at a stall in the middle of the Bouqueria farmers' market in Barcelona. But those villagers are just luckier versions of people who eat at their local McDonald's every day. I want the world to come to me, to see it shrink so small it fits on my plate. I want Maine...
