With the recent release of their cheekily-monikered "Elf-Titled" album, the Advantage have brought legitimacy to a style of music dubbed "Nintendocore," becoming the first group in this genre to take covers of classic 8-bit theme songs past the LAN-party circuit.

...innocence had always been on tenterhooks. Ironically, his only comfort is to “look at Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. They’re still together, and if they can make it, anyone can.” Chaudhari’s monologue comically looked at the recurring theme in the aptly named “Loss of Innocence,” which was put on by the South Asian Women’s Collective and South Asian American Theatre in the Leverett Old Library Theatre this past weekend. Directed by Manisha Munshi ’06 and produced...
