“When is Fugazi getting back together?” shouted an audience member.
“What?” said Ian MacKaye.
“When is Fugazi getting back together?”
“What the f—k are you talking about? Do you know how many thousands of people got to see Fugazi? You’re getting to see The Evens. Not many people can say that.”
And so started the brilliant set from hardcore legend Ian MacKaye’s current...
There are three things in life I am thankful for: my family, my health and online shopping. You know how some people get an adrenaline rush from driving really fast, or jumping out of a plane? I get that same feeling pressing “confirm” whenever I purchase something online. Same effect, different result. But just like everything in life, shopping...
Vagina, vagina, vagina. Last Wednesday night, I said, heard and appreciated the word vagina more than ever before. Presented by the Women’s Resource Center, UCR’s student production of Eve Ensler’s play, “The Vagina Monologues,” explored the female experience and spoke out against violence against women. “Stories will make you laugh, cry, scream and shout, so feel them completely,” explained...
Many people have told me that they do not like “Mad Men” because nothing ever happens. For those of you who have caught any episode and quickly dismissed the show, I urge you to give the series another shot. To the ones who told me that “nothing ever happens,” all I can say is that they are ignoring the...
Paul Abbott was raised by his older sister after his mother left when he was nine. His father walked out on him and his other eight siblings two years later. Consequently, it is no surprise that the writer and creator of the hit comedy, “Shameless,” is usually able to strike all the right emotional notes. For the season finale,...
Before diving into the details, let's just be honest and say that this week's episode felt like part two of the season premiere. Not exactly as exciting as one can hope for from a show known for beheadings and torrid sex, but it was certainly a step up in terms of character development, dialogue and acting.
Many of the characters...
I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I first entered HUB 302 last Wednesday night. As I waited for Sister Spit to begin, I bumped into plenty of fellow writers from the creative writing department, and our shared sentiment was that we were attending Sister Spit because it had been the hot topic on everyone’s lips for the...
I have been waiting for “Ride Your Heart” for a few eons now, and after being teased with two seven-inch records, Bleached has finally released their first full length album––and it didn’t disappoint. The Clavin sisters, Jennifer and Jessie, have taken off their skuzzy punk coat on this release and replaced it with pleasant pop hooks and beachy instrumentation....
In 1981, Sam Raimi’s “The Evil Dead” upped the gore to a ridiculous level for its Reagan-era audience. The film has since become a cult classic due to the stamp that Raimi’s creative filmmaking left on the movie world. Unfortunately, like many remakes, the newest version is another let down for avid fans of the originally unpopular series and...
Have you ever felt the urge to go drinking in a British pub, but couldn’t afford to go to England? Skinny Lister, the folk five-piece that hails from all across England, is your solution. Though I like Mumford and Sons as much as the next guy, this group puts an undeniably different spin on British folk—one that is rooted...
