Though every song shares this bouncy 80’s girl-group aesthetic, several tracks stand out in the mix. The kinetic intro to “Nerves,” the album’s hardest track, betrays any claim that the album is short on flat-out rock, though the vocals still have moments breaking into heavenly high squeal, and it’s a compromise deftly handled by the band. On “Stay / Stay Away” Andersson’s voice reaches levels of emotion seen nowhere else on the album. In a second...
...fully set, I turn my attention to the fireplace. Fortunately it had only been two years since I last watched someone start a fire and only 11 since I had walked out mid-way through the intro meeting for the Cub Scouts and I remembered something about a pyramid. In just 45 minutes I build an impressive looking tower of sticks of varying sizes, filled on the inside with crumpled newspaper. It burns brilliantly—just long enough for me to take a proud, paternal photograph—before the paper burns away and the tower remains, singed...

Thomas-Graham’s business background—she earned...
Four new Houses mean at least 1,500 new undergraduates. Imagine what this will mean for academics. More mediocre Teaching Fellows (TFs) will assume teaching duties, professors will be less accessible and intro-course class sizes will balloon beyond Sanders Theatre’s capacity. On the plus side, Harvard athletics will get a boost when Ec 10 students stay after class—now held in the Harvard Stadium—and actually sell out a home football game. Scraping the bottom of the barrel for TFs and sending class sizes higher and higher does not sound like...
