No matter your views on global warming and the poor little polar bears in Alaska, it’s impossible to deny the weather in Oklahoma has been cuh-razy over the past few months. Cold one day, sunny the next, monsoon the following week…and though this is arguably normal for a state where seasons seem to change overnight, […]

Folk Friday: Josh Caress
Most of the time, the only good thing about a break-up is that it bonds you to certain songs in a passionate way. The last time I got broke up with, I turned to Josh Caress‘s Letting Go of a Dream. As I drove across the state to go visit some sympathetic friends, I turned […]
They call me The Wanderer
Have you ever reached a point in your life where you realized you have no idea what you’re doing? Well, I came to that point last night. (To be honest, I come to that point about once a semester, but each time it’s just as fresh and new and terrifying as the last.) I don’t […]
YouTube Procrastination
It’s just been one of those weeks. The sort where you don’t want to do anything but sit around and breathe. And any call to action (be it school work or real work) just makes you feel defiant and cynical. Literally. I had a test this week, but instead of spending quality time making sure […]
Buy/Die Tuesday: Something for everyone!
After several weeks of drought, we finally get a great crop of releases this week. From underground hip-hop to indie rock to singer/songwriter fare, there’s something for everyone this week. Rejoice! Buy: Hello Hurricane – Switchfoot. The alt-rockers return. I’ve been a fan of these guys for almost ten years, so I’m excited to see […]
Hello, Apathy.
Well kids, it’s the beginning of November…which means it’s the beginning of the home stretch, and the beginning of big papers, and the beginning of thinking OHMYGAWD WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING ALL SEMESTER?? AM GOING TO FAIL. But if you’re anything like me, it’s the beginning of something else as well. I call it […]
Folk Friday: Novi Split
Folk artists aren’t known for their voices. In an alternate universe where Bob Dylan hadn’t become the poet laureate of folk, we may have escaped with some talented vocalists in tow. But as it stands, folk runs low on genuinely talented male vocalists. Fionn Regan (who I will laud some other week) and David J […]
This Weekend Rocks: October 15-18
So, if you’re not attending the OU/saxet game, you’ll need something to do this weekend. And here’s tha hookup. Should Do: Do I really need to tell you that, inexplicably, U2 will be in Norman on Sunday? I didn’t think so.
A Call to Action!
Or, more specifically, a call for all of you to get off your butts. I say it with love. And a teensy bit of regret, facing as I am the dwindling days of my college career. In seven months I’ll be out in the real world, all the wiser for my time here, and all […]
Top Five Wednesday: The Worst Reunions Ever
Sometimes reunion tours are awesome and necessary. When Rage Against the Machine announced they were patching it up, I jumped with glee: their sound and message was pretty desperately needed in rock. Meanwhile, other bands feel the same way, but it is simply not so. Here’s the top five bands who never, ever should have […]
