...Burma are working on their second new album after a hiatus since the mid-’80s. Post-hardcore acts from Slint to Braid have reappeared for tours, only to fade back into legend. Even the Pixies are rumored to be in the studio again. These moves invariably beg the question of motive: music, money, or something entirely different? For Dinosaur Jr., the issue is much more complicated; few bands have as tumultuous a history. The band was founded in 1983 in Amherst, MA. J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Emmett Patrick Murphy (“Murph”) came...
...undergraduates of Harvard College, are an important part of the University community, and are therefore entitled to an active role in deciding its policies and priorities.” The UC was created, and continues to exist, not merely in order to coordinate student life and beg favors from the leviathan administration and its $25.9 billion endowment.

...their laundry with them, and throw their old Gatorade bottles away for them. Even when I’m sure it’s been one skipped section or several un-returned phone calls too many, they look lovingly at me (slightly red-eyed from heavy partying) and silently beg, “Save me princess, save me.” We aspiring heroines, we obliging females, we are only too happy to comply.Speaking of royalty, I’m reminded of a few age-old fairy tales from our childhood—Cinderella and her pumpkin, Snow White...
...won’t be watching that CGI-ed “Care Bears” movie. Yet the exploitation of nostalgia will continue to kill me inside. Those moments our generation waited so long to relive were falsely returned, and unnecessarily so. Children of the 2000s will only beg for vamped up dolls if we tell them that’s what they should want, there’s no reason we can indulge these toys in their true form.In my explorations, I was initially shocked to look at the recent Rainbow Brite doll with a skirt dangerously close...
