...raps in an homage to the misguided fashion of the early 90s, only to be interrupted by the strained rock vocals of Karen O’s chorus.“Spacious Thoughts” pairs Tom Waits with veteran emcee Kool Keith over a mellow drum beat and somber piano melody.

As one of the founders of Project East, he knows what this event requires. On the one hand, he’s involved in most of the activities taking place in the JCR, walking from corner to corner to check on shoes or jackets, occasionally stopping to tell a model...
