Part of being an SB alum means getting hit with that question all the time. Pretty sure that guy actually knows what a seawolf is.

I'd be down with a 3D version of this painting. He can give me that judgmental look any day.

I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to holophonor technology.

The thing is, repurposing music and musical figures posthumously has been happening for a long time, in all genres. Technological innovations have just made the process more explicit. Classical music, for instance, has almost entirely relied upon dead guys' music, pushing living art composers to the sidelines. Record…

I did not like my public high school for many reasons, but I will give them credit for not making a big deal out of people bringing "friends" of the same gender to prom. It never occurred to me until after the fact that having a female prom date would have caused a big to-do in other schools. I'm pretty sure not…

What bold assertions!

As long as they know that "My Heart Will Go On" was the song performed as the ship sank, they should be all right.

I only became a fan of Game of Thrones after first watching the series (I am now reading the fifth book), and I've now gotten several friends into the series, both fantasy and non-fantasy fans. This review is supremely lazy on multiple fronts, but I find it incredible that the author is dismissive to the point where…

Nonso Anozie will be in this season, playing Xaro Xhoan Daxos from Qarth.

Leave it to a privileged junior to challenge a law school student on how to make a logical argument.

You can also think of it this way: if you were an overachiever and graduated a semester early, the same thing would have happened. Win?

I think "Fossils" would have been a more appropriate movement than "The Swan" (or even "Cuckoo," given how nutty this idea is).

Hey girl,

Why are you pink?!

Cool video! A friend of mine recently bought the Alex Duetto II by Izzo (obviously for personal, not business, use), and I have to say I enjoyed a phenomenal cappuccino from that machine.

Musicologists could have told you all this. Tension and release are key factors in most Western music, from classical music through today. Pick any so-described "epic" symphony; tension/release will be there. Same with appoggiaturas. Madrigals (Italian art-song from the 16th-century) incorporated appoggiaturas (along…

I'm confused. Isn't this false equivalence? Why would drinks tasting sweeter necessarily mean people drink more? Also, was the music the same each time? That's the part I want to know more about!

Re Katy Perry being pink-ed out: I'm thinking Lucille Ball meets Judy Jetson.

Curious: is Jenna Lyons actually out as gay or is she bi-/pan-/some other form of non-monosexuality? I tried looking it up but news articles are notoriously apt at bi-exclusion (plus I did not find J.L. confirming one way or the other).

Hearted!
