Unfortunately, my dear readers, you won’t be hearing from your favorite literary columnist for a couple of weeks. We’re less than five days from spring break, something that -- for me at least -- doesn’t seem real. This semester has been crazy and disjointed, so it’ll be nice to relax and spend ...

Electronic composer Dan Deacon has never been one to take the easy route. Known for going on extravagant tours with 30 piece orchestras in tour buses made of garbage and creating massive electronic tracks with seemingly infinite layers of sound, Deacon has been a popular force in the indie electronic ...
The first night of JumBonnaroo played like a scene from “Animal House” (1978). More specifically, it played like the scene in the film where Delta Tau Chi is getting down to the live band’s version of “Shout” (1959) by the Isley Brothers, clad in togas and flailing their limbs to the sounds of a blaring horn section. While JumBonnaroo was devoid of togas, it was not devoid of high energy and wild trumpet solos -- though it did take a while for the energy of the concert to get there.
“Once Upon a Time” (2011 - present) returned for its midseason premiere on March 1, beginning the second half of its fourth season. For such a conceptually nontraditional show, it seems to be taking some risks with its newest plotline: a villainous alliance between Maleficent (Kristin Bauer Van ...
"House of Cards" (2013-present), a Netflix original drama that chronicles the political dealings of Congressman Frank Underwood in a fictionalized White House, began its third season on Feb. 27. In many cases, these 13 new episodes offer more of the original formula that made the show so ...

Tufts University is experiencing a renaissance of live music through JumBonnaroo and other similar live music events. In an era of digital music that is produced and distributed faster than most music blogs can track, Tufts' live music scene is only growing, feeding off of its high demand and strong reception on campus. In its third semester, JumBonnaroo is set to feature a diverse group of artists for its spring line-up: Waldo, Blue Ives, Rollersnakes, MTSA, Everest, Dusty 9 and Yonas Dinkneh. More artists will be announced, according to the JumBonnaroo Facebook event page, as several bands and venues withdrew after changes were made to the event last night.
Graduation is a scary thing. It’s even scarier for people like me who are a. still unemployed, b. enjoying college and c. really, really not ready to become an adult. Unfortunately, though, it’s a reality that all of us seniors are going to have to face in just 72 meager little days. There are so ...
When Jukebox The Ghost drummer Jesse Kristin answered the Daily’s phone call last week, he was still groggy from an on-the-road nap.
Behind the timpani in Wind Ensemble, a painted mask in HYPE! mime troupe, a puppet in “From Orchids to Octopi: An Evolutionary Love Story” (premiered in 2010) and the drum set in the upcoming Drama Production “Richard III” (first performed in 1633), Drew Page’s versatile talent has been ...

Stepping back from the overproduction and bizarre storylines of many modern music videos, Sarah McLachlan’s “Monsters” (released Feb. 27) delves into the age-old theme of facing one’s demons. Set in an illustrated storybook, the video depicts a young heroine who confronts the monsters under ...
In the months leading up to its premiere, “Fresh Off the Boat” (2015 - present) was met with ambivalence. The trailer had a lot of elements to absorb: the neon, Candy Land-esque hues of the '90s, the decade's radio music and the fact that the show was the first Asian American family sitcom ...
Braving the bus, the long blocks and the masses of people, I stood in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's monumental neoclassical facade after a trying four and a half hour bus ride. This Saturday, I was determined to view the Met’s Asian Art Centennial in its entirety. The museum’s comprehensive ...

SubPop Records is well-known as a paradisiacal label for alternative and indie bands, filling its roster of artists with everyone from Nirvana to Sunny Day Real Estate to Fleet Foxes.

“Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return” (King James Version, Gen. 3.19). This phrase, taken from the book of Genesis, was recited in a multiplicity of languages to me and millions of Christians worldwide two weeks ago, on the occasion of Ash Wednesday.
