If this were the 90s, a Snoop Dogg stage performance alongside hip-hop messiah Tupac Shakur would just be another West Coast celebration.

Monday, March 26th, 2012

AMC’s 4-time Emmy winning drama series “Mad Men” returned for its fifth season on Sunday after giving viewers an agonizing 17 months to debate the future of Don Draper and the series’ other memorable characters.

 

Last season’s finale cemented new and changing character relationships that will no doubt make season five dynamically distinct from its predecessors.

 

Draper’s plans to remarry after a tumultuous saga with ex-wife Betty will surely be a major focal point for the upcoming episodes.

In true college fashion, sophomore music majors Jimmy Leach and Blake Watson approach a round table with the spoils of a late-night Taco Bell run. Seated at the table is senior history major Patrick Saikin, whose backpack is weighted by the necessities of a day on campus.

 

While they are easily recognized as students, especially considering Leach and Watson’s Kilgore College t-shirts, the undergrads also make up a three-piece band called The Problem Preachers.

 

Location changes college reality

Monday, March 26th, 2012

After living in Austin, Texas for three years, all the while bleeding orange, I relocated to East Texas in August to finish my college career.

 

Since then, I have told several new faces about the move. Nearly all of them have responded with an immediate and anguish-filled “why?”

 

Many of my fellow students at the University don’t understand my decision, failing to see any reason to trade the “Live Music Capital of the World” for the “Rose Capital of the Nation.”

When founding member Jeff Mangum disbanded Neutral Milk Hotel on the heels of 1998’s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, it is unlikely that the reclusive singer/songwriter expected to generate what is now one of music’s largest cult followings.

 

Mangum has made only a few rare appearances since then, contributing to a handful of albums and compilations as well as occasionally returning for live performances.

Ryan Adams returns to form with ‘Ashes & Fire’

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

When Ryan Adams sings the lines, “Last time I was here, it was raining/It ain’t raining anymore” in the opening track of “Ashes & Fire,” he could be referencing his previous and critically underwhelming 2007 solo release, “Easy Tiger.”

However, if there was indeed a rain cloud hanging over his latter solo efforts, the release of Ashes & Fire brings us a more relaxed Adams that seems to believe it has dissipated.
