...their former glory. Boston post-punk progenitors Mission of Burma are working on their second new album after a hiatus since the mid-’80s. Post-hardcore acts from Slint to Braid have reappeared for tours, only to fade back into legend. Even the Pixies are rumored to be in the studio again. These moves invariably beg the question of motive: music, money, or something entirely different? For Dinosaur Jr., the issue is much more complicated; few bands have as tumultuous a history. The band was founded in 1983 in Amherst, MA. J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Emmett...

The two events mark a surge in prank wars between the Harvard and Radcliffe teams that date back to 1972. But in the past year, these pranks...
...toothy grins, the crisper-than-a-Docker’s-commercial khakis—gone, boarded up. Naima Bensassi, a personal banking representative at Sovereign Bank, adamantly insists, “We’re just trying to fix it, that’s all.” But rumor has it that an unidentified Harvard student, beat, for lack of a better phrase, the (non-)living shit out of the thing. Who knew that unsolicited home equity advice could trigger such amusing aggression? Their emphatic hellos had infuriated some, including, Stephen M. Fee ’07, a Crimson...
