...obscure bands, I lunged out the door.Later, as I mulled it all over, I realized there is something admirable about the insouciant hope with which Brown University students approach life.As Harvard students, we are consistently and immediately told that we are not special, or particularly interesting enough to pull off a headscarf. We turn to investment banking because we are confronted with the cold truth that unless your last name is Castraghi you can never be a part-time gallery owner.Perhaps because Brown conducts so many classes pass/fail, or because there is no core curriculum, or because...
...establish and fund a school in the neighborhood by September 2009 that would provide kindergarten through 12th grade classes. Kathy A. Spiegelman, the University’s chief planner, said that Harvard “thought the thing that was really most important for us tonight was to pull together all the information we’ve received on community benefits.” The cornerstone of Harvard’s proposed benefits hinge on $25 million in educational and economic enhancements to the neighborhood over the next 10 years.

In some ways, to bemoan the increased polish of Iron & Wine is to lament the inevitable, as with expanding audiences comes a pull into the wiry world of the studio. Still, selfish as it sounds, there was a soft magic to the lo-fi ambiance of his earliest records, buried now below vocal effects and extended (by Beam standards) “jam” sessions. While this diversification of instrumentation isn?...
...tempo R&B seems like a fool-proof template for radio hits; I’m surprised that it took this long for someone more appealing than Akon or T-Pain to cash in. Lyrically, Sean’s track is tough but treacly, and manages to pull off using the word “suicidal” in the hook. It’s a lightweight, but it’s a winner. Grade: B UGK – “Int’l Players Anthem” The first verse is the best minute of music...
