...Sound Opinions”—A Siskel and Ebert-type radio show for music. Lots of spirited discussion, record reviews, interviews, and music news. You realize how subjective musical taste is when you hear them argue so passionately and articulately. Download the podcast from iTunes...

Unfortunately, we’re too smart for promises of free ice cream and water fountains filled with Dr. Pepper to guarantee a landslide. Finally, Martel-Zimmermann ran on the only truly exciting idea: a UC Standing Army. But since people still come...
