“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.

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. The label has not done much to belie this reputation, and its most famous artists tend to fit nicely into the alt-rock ...
“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. As I heard these words and received ...
With his third solo album, “Vestiges and Claws,” out Feb. 17, José González sings like a ghost who is haunting himself. The first strains of the album are as familiar as going home. The autumnal chimes and soft-spoken yearning will comfort listeners looking for the same achingly cold lyrics paired with his crackling ember voice that set González apart in his previous albums, “Veneer” (2003) and “In Our Nature” (2007). What listeners may not find is the artist finding new territory, sticking instead to a tried-and-true formula that is exquisite, but, given the time between his previous album and this one, a little underwhelming.
On a typical Thursday night, The Great Scott -- a music venue in Allston, Mass. -- is overflowing with post-college punks looking to see their favorite underground acts tear up the stage and, in the true spirit of rock 'n’ roll, break every noise code violation possible. On Feb. 26, the Allston ...
"The Night Shift"(2014-present) is NBC’s lackluster shot at a medical drama. Set in a hospital in San Antonio, Texas, the show is a mix of comedy and drama, but it is heavier on the dramatic elements. The first season of "The Night Shift" had a weak start, with subpar characterization ...
The Spring 2015 season of the Boston Ballet opened with a beautiful rendition of “Lady of the Camellias” (John Neumeier's ballet version premiered in 1979), a devastatingly sad, yet beautifully told, story of forbidden love. The story starts in the apartment of Marguerite, a courtesan played ...
Defying narrow genre categorization, Father John Misty’s music is a quirky mixture of experimental rock and folk with psychedelic and electronic moments. The artist's sophomore album, “I Love You, Honeybear,” released on Feb. 10, is the highly anticipated follow-up to his 2012 debut, “Fear ...
Last weekend, Cohen Auditorium bubbled with the lively sounds of Bollywood music and the distant, but mouth-watering aroma of hot samosas. The annual Culture Show, organized by the Tufts Association of South Asians (TASA), took place on Feb. 20 and 21, drawing sizable crowds of families, friends and ...
