Also during the program, the Harvard Krokodiloes offered the crowd the classic Scottish ballad of broken young lovers, “Sally Gardens,” with a solo sung by senior Matthew L. Christian ’06. Providing a contrast in style, the Harvard-Radcliffe Veritones performed the more lighthearted lustful love song “Breathless” by The Corrs, with a solo by Andrea M. Ellwood ’06. Other a cappella groups performing during the two-hour evening concert included the Fallen Angels and Harvard LowKeys...

Nevertheless, rediscovered recordings are rarely as brilliant as this one; there is a reason why this recording is the best-selling new jazz album right...
...Korea, so my song of the summer was “She Is,” by Clazziquai. It’s a Korean ballad – very romantic. If I was going to meet a girl, I’d listen to it on the bus ride there to get me in the mood...
