undeniably unique musician in the prime of his career. John Mayer had a definitive acoustic style since his first album, a sound which has been emulated by other musicians trying to get a hit like "Your Body is a Wonderland" and "Daughters." With his last album, Continuum, he molded a distinctive blend of blues, rock, hip-hop, and jazz; with Battle Studies, he has perfected that sound, and even blended both of his signature sounds.

Every couple of years, Slug (the MC half of Atmosphere) and Murs (from indie-rap supergroup Living Legends) team up to write an album in "tribute" to an actress they each want to sleep with. The resulting albums, 2002's "A Tribute to Christina Ricci" and 2005's "A Tribute to Lisa Bonet," though having little to actually do with the actresses in question, offered up some of the best songs either has been a part of to date.

The Leading Ladies' fall semester show, Pippin, premieres tonight and, after sitting in on a rehearsal and talking to the cast, it appears that this show is capable of entertaining every member of the Smith community.
There are jazzy solos mixed with well-performed harmonies for the musically inclined.

It would be an understatement to say that John Mayer's newest album "Battle Studies" has left fans wondering "what happened?"
I think it's safe to say that fans have been exposed to a few different types of Mayer. There is the "Your Body Is a Wonderland," and "Neon" Mayer, who writes pop songs that attract teenyboppers from across the country.

In a genre skewed with many movies reproducing the same thing over and over again, Paranormal Activity gives us a breath of fresh air in the horror movie genre. From the very beginning of the movie until the very last second, movie goers find themselves entranced with the true horror writer/director Oren Peli brings to the screen.

I often fool people into believing that I follow television programs more closely than I actually do. Granted, I'm still pretty sure that I watch more TV than most people - except maybe the elderly. They love their Law & Order marathons. I have a confession, though: so do I.

H1N1 influenza is more lethal than we anticipated. After killing more than 4,000 people worldwide, it proceeded to devastate the vocal abilities of Connecticut College's only all-male a cappella group, the Co Co Beaux. Or so they claim. With roughly half of their members sick and consequently in absentia during Thursday night's performance in the Fred common room, they may have succeeded in charming their audience, but failed their primary goal: to deliver quality vocals.

11/18/09 - With the release of "Twilight: New Moon," it seems as though Twilight fever is sweeping the nation harder, faster and stronger than Swine Flu. Teen and tween girls have been hit particularly hard by the brooding-bloodsucker epidemic and thus far, it is showing no signs of stopping its spread.

Around this time every year, the Rolling Stones and Spins compile lists of their favorite albums of the past 365 days, and since it's 2009, this year they will tackle the daunting task of quantifying the decade's art. But they leave a glaring omission: no one discusses the worst music of the year.

"The world as we know it will soon come to an end." When you hear those words in a movie, you know that you are not watching it for its artistic merit. As with every disaster film by Roland Emmerich, director of "Independence Day," "Godzilla," and "The Day After Tomorrow," his newest release "2012" fits into the classic formula of a popcorn disaster movie: cheesy character development + CGI + unbelievable plot = hundreds of millions in the box office.

The world's largest archipelago: more than 13,000 islands home to more than 200 ethnic tribes with more than a million people speaking more than 100 languages. I was so fascinated by the diversities of the culture and the people in this country; I could very well imagine how diverse its cuisine would be.

It's that time of year again…it's getting colder, the leaves are changing and the Boston arts scene is in full swing. I know it's hard to get outside the HBS bubble, particularly since there are no tunnels connecting us to Boston, forcing us to brave the arctic weather…but Boston has so much to offer in the way of arts and culture this time of year! I've pulled together a very small sampling of personal recommendations below: BOSTON BALLET - The Nutcracker A perennial holiday favorite, the Nutcracker is being featured in Boston Ballet's new home: the newly restored Opera House.

A typical Thursday night in Boston is not as typical as it would seem when a visit is made to Boston Symphony Hall for the latest show.
As Boston Symphony's season unfolds, performances continue to deliver an array of varied artistry that brings fresh figures into the city and to our ears. This past week, Fabio Luisi and Lise de la Salle were in the spotlight, bringing with them romanticized styles imported from Europe.
Opening the program was a tranquil and very French "Pastorale D'Ete, Symphonic Poem," composed by Arthur Honegger. Honegger, one of the six French composers of the "Groupe des Six," was a member of a 1920s cluster of revolutionary artists. In listening to the "Pastorale D'Ete," audience members are walked through scenes of soft imagery. Every passage is met with silken woodwinds swelling back and forth. The French horn could carry the whole orchestra upon its back with its melody while the background noise added mellow coloring, sharing its melody with the violins.

However, this list is being added to, with the popularity of website blogs such as 'Texts from Last Night,' 'People at Wal-Mart,' and 'Overheard in the Newsroom.

Hallucinations of your deceased father. An uncle who drinks too much and is making moves on your mother. A pesky little brother who is determined to prove to you he is a man and finally read the phonebook. These are all the things Ben Krol's character Edward, dealt with in And The Rose Will Have Its Own, a play written and directed by Assumption senior Jim Thibeault and performed by the student-run theater group, Merely Players.
