...personally made the (in retrospect, probably poor) decision to skip my MCB 52 exam review in favor of decking the Quincy dhall for three hours. I may not completely understand exonucleases, but the tree looks pretty spiffy. Christmas season is my favorite time of year. Every time Jingle Bell Rock comes over the radio in the dhall, I do a little dance inside (and sometimes on the outside). And what makes it especially special is that, secretly, I know you are too.

...Karaoke Conquered the World and Changed My Life follows the hobby from its Japanese origins across the ocean to America and into Raftery's heart. With over ten years of karaoke experience, from the cheaply produced laser discs to live action performances backed by the Georgia-based indie rock group Of Montreal, Raftery has sung it all.

The group has never made an album better than their 1987 debut “Appetite for Destruction”—one of the best hard rock records ever—and has never written a song better than “Welcome to the Jungle,” that album’s unforgettable first track. Two decades and four albums later, the band has hit its nadir...
...Theater” is a thematic album (though the theme behind it seems to be mood swings), with songs that “co-star” artists like Lil’ Wayne, Nas, Jay-Z, and T.I., as well as some more unexpected guests like Floyd Mayweather, Chris Rock, and Spike Lee. The first group of rappers adds flourishes of the usual gangsta rap fare throughout the disc, but it’s Lee’s influence that brings a certain depth to “Theater of the Mind.” While Ludacris?...
