...Highlight Reel:1. On the reputation of the pig: "Traditionally, pork is the staple meat of rural Galicia. It's a good, dependable food source. But dependable is the word. The pig does not evoke a sense of grandeur. It is an everyday animal. And its meat is not generally considered to be glamorous or sexy. Think sexy meat and it's a big juicy fillet or beef winking up at you from the plate, next to it a decent bottle of Bordeaux. Think healthy meat, if you must, and it's a small portion of free-range chicken breast...
...suggestions, the band asked the growing crowd for ideas. Maybe the self-titled route isn’t so bad.Frontman Benjamin M. Kultgen ’08 describes The Ben Kultgen Band as “halfway in between Coldplay and John Mayer.” For Kultgen, the highlight of Friday’s show was playing a solo with his guitar behind his head while wearing eighties clothing.

At the same time, the album’s scarcity is indicative of the near-universal oversight of this rich...
...Highlight Reel:1. On the exceptionalism of the Louvre: "The elitist strain that is built into the Louvre has an explicitly nationalist component. No object that has become part of the French museum system can ever be sold, since it has officially become French patrimony. To someone who comes from Greece, this must seem like a strange concept: the Parthenon frieze in the possession of the Louvre has become, ipso facto, French. The building of a national collection was central to creating the narrative of French greatness, of the power and glory of its empire. Like so much in French...
