...Teanga Eile/Second Tongue.” “Twenty Love Poems” featured Daniela F. Joffe ’10 and Merritt A. Moore ’10 in a ballet-inspired dance (choreographed by Joffe) that showcased their skill and stage presence. The accompaniment of pop musician Sia Furler’s “Breathe Me” perfectly complemented the movements, with appropriate intensity to match the passionate dance. The interaction between Moore and Joffe was sensual as they executed graceful balletic moves. Impressively, Moore’s poise was so thorough that the slightest...
Even after his daredevil jumping days were over, his memory lived on in pop culture, and in the lingering scars of formerly impressionable bike-riding boys. In the end, maybe "death-defying" is the wrong term to describe him. All death could do, after all, was make him stop living; in his outlook, fear was the only thing that could truly kill him. That which didn't kill Evel Knievel, as he proved more literally than most, made him stronger. With reporting by Pat Dawson/Butte
...band’s more zealous supporters will hail the album as yet another strong showing from the godfathers of modern dance music.

If the record ever makes it to the DJ booth, there will be a few intoxicated enough to dance to these songs, at least until they realize they’re not hearing Soulja Boy. That moment, however, will be the death rattle...
...hyperbolic claim? Perhaps, but the sophomore effort from the Philadelphia-based MC, “Free at Last,” is nonetheless a masterful blend of word and song. This is classical rap, if you will—much-needed passionate rhymes delivered in a world dominated by pop-infected, Top-40-intended hip-hop. It makes sense then that the second track on the album, “It’s Over,” finds Freeway commanding, “You need to fall back and concentrate on your music.” This...
...Sound like a trip? At the very least, it was probably inspired by one at some point along the creative process. And then the band plays on top of the globe, as well as in outer space, straddling the rings of Saturn. The song itself is indie college pop in its most unadulterated form. Politically conscious and goofy, country yet polished, Blitzen Trapper’s video collage is nothing if not pure fun. With an ongoing European tour through December, might these guys spread farm boy rock to France? Oui. Another geographical wonder courtesy of Blitzen Trapper...
