...sweltering heat.” There’s no question that Crow has been reading her World Book—in the space of the first five tracks we’re taken on a travelogue that drops us at Lake Pontchartrain (in the up-beat post-Katrina ballad “Love is Free”), Riyadh, Alexandria, the Ganges, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, and Washington.Of course, with worldly knowledge there’s always a catch: if you don’t want to sound like the name-dropping tool at a Rhodes Scholar cocktail schmooze, you?...
...first that breaks out of the mold. “Charlyn” was one of two songs from the album released for promotional purposes, and it’s clear why. Here, Collett actually creates an original sound by including an upbeat percussion rhythm.

...Crimson’s two wins of the night came from No. 1 sophomore Colin West, who quickly defeated Bulldog senior Max Samuel 3-0. West only gave up four points in the entire match. The other victory came from No. 5 freshman Eliot Buchanan, who beat Yale senior Ho Ming Chiu. Harvard’s No. 3, 6,7,8, and 9 spots all lost their matches 3-0. “Everyone went out there and gave 100 percent, but I think some of us weren’t competing as well as we could have...
