...filled in for “Favorite Music” and $30,000 paid by the Harvard Concert Commission for Wyclef Jean to stay home. The compromise pick of Ben Folds ushered in a brief detente, but it was immediately followed by a long nightmare of Third Eye Blind, Gavin DeGraw’s big brother, and some rap group from the ’90s. At the end of it all, as if to blot out the last remaining hope that the kind of music I like might make a fledgling stand on campus, fate intervened and aborted Girl...
...accounting firm KPMG recently asked its staff if they would be willing to reduce their workweek - and thereby save jobs - in the event that business dried up, an overwhelming 85% signed on. About 200 employees in the tax division have already shifted to a four-day week, says spokesman Gavin Houlgate, who claims the deal is a first for a British financial services firm. It's unlikely to be the last. "There's been quite a bit of interest from other organizations," Houlgate says...
...Astral Weeks” is good to write to, and the electronic band MSTRKRFT quite great to run to, but such selections would certainly have deleterious effects on performance if poorly prescribed. Last year, Harvard students downed the strange cocktail of the Wu-Tang Clan, Gavin DeGraw, Joey DeGraw (sigh), and whatever other substances they chose to introduce into their systems that day.

...some paid no attention, but naysayers held up the announcement as the most recent example of the CEB’s ineptitude. It seems crazy, the argument goes, that if Brown can get Nas and Of Montreal for their Spring Weekend, Harvard must settle for Third Eye Blind and Gavin DeGraw (and when given the opportunity to host Girl Talk, the Yard was left with little music and a near-riot). However, the CEB and the HCC, which are, together, in charge of selecting the Yardfest artists, say that such frustrated sentiments are built upon a fundamental misunderstanding...
...successful has yet to be seen. We hope, however, that the CEB has learned its lesson from the disastrous Girl Talk pep rally this fall. Bareilles and Ratatat are a departure from the series of outdated artists that the CEB has booked over the past couple of years. With Gavin DeGraw and Wu Tang Clan on stage last year, and Third Eye Blind in 2007, many criticized the CEB for selecting artists who were past their primes. Both Ratatat and Bareilles, on the other hand, are up-and-coming performers who, while perhaps less well known, offer an element...
