...Bareilles will pair with a rip of Ratatat. Whatever the blend, it will define the collective mood for the day. These most recent developments by SANOSON are exciting for the simple reason that we all know the raw power music has to influence us—whether we be YardFest attendees or restaurant waitresses. But until science offers us an equation for managing pain or stress with music, we will continue to self-medicate, ignorant of the calculus of our hearts but wise to their temperaments.—Ruben L.

When the College Events Board and the Harvard Concert Commission announced that Ratatat and Sarah Bareilles would be performing for this year’s Yardfest, an annual debate immediately took over House email lists and dining hall chatter.

The group is known for its original instrumental compositions in addition to its sampled hip-hop remixes. “We have never had a big electronic band come to Yardfest in the past, so it’s something new,” said CEB Chair Kevin...
Pondering what to think about the Yardfest performers? First of all, if you're a skeptic, give Sara Bareilles a chance. Important people think she's pretty legit. At the very least, learn the lyrics to her popular song. You remember, the funnest part of 3EB was singing along to the two songs you knew with everyone else...
