Zammuto opens for Explosions in the Sky on Sunday in Jackson Hall at the Mondavi Center. Nick Zammuto, one of the original members of The Books, released the album Zammuto last week. The first release after ending his previous project, this album contains music that is said to be in a category of its own. The […]

Artist: Miike Snow Album: Happy to You Label: Universal Republic Records Rating: 3.5 It would be wrong to call Miike Snow’s most recent album, Happy to You, bland. But when we really face it, examine it and turn it in our hands, it’s more or less an uninspiring collection. Not because it fails to muster good […]

Okay, so can we all acknowledge the pure beauty of the Hunger Games music? Yes, I know all of you have probably willingly dragged yourselves to your local theatre to witness the “movie of the year” (don’t they call every action-packed popular book-turned movie that?), so you should be able to follow along quite nicely […]

The show, part of a greater project called “Just Between Us — The Generation Project,” examines the progression of dance through the perspective of different age groups.

It’s the age-old story of boy meets girl, boy falls madly in love with girl, boy then loses girl in a tragic accident. But, if your name happens to be Orpheus and you just so happen to possess a musical talent that would make Kanye West cry humble tears, then you don’t just grieve for […]

Funmilayo Alabi is one of the students from University of California, Davis showcasing her collection at the Picnic Day fashion show. Alabi, a design major, graduated from UC Davis in Winter quarter 2012. “I don’t even know where I am at right now; I kind of want to go sit in on some classes,” said […]

So get this: it was certainly a rave. And by that I mean it had all the definitive elements: thumping music that hits like a fist to the chest, technicolor lights that pulse a-line to the cerebrum, a crowd of young, reaching, general inebriates, close proximity, sweat drenched, always gyrating. Is this what our generation […]
