As an incoming freshman, I did not know what to expect from a college ensemble. It all started with attending a Concert Band rehearsal, for as I was unpacking my violin, I was slowly realizing I was assigned the wrong class. That made the first few days of college a rough start, but thankfully, that […]

What do Pete Doherty, the Kooks, Billy Bragg, Imogen Heap, and Orbital have in common? Well…they’re all in the music industry. However, this year, their defining unifying factor is the collaboration of support for Cage Against the Machine.

Death is not an easy topic to cover, but Jay Rosenblatt does so anyway.

Although it was raining frogs yesterday, I braved the weather to attend Snapshot 2010, the last official event of Seminar 1. All of our photos were curated in the Macaulay Cabaret under the theme, “Crossroads,” for many similarities were present. I commend the volunteer curators for assembling a beautiful display; the model buildings that […]

When one thinks of Times Square, the concept of tourist attractions come to mind. One of the veteran places in this area that entices millions of visitors is the Wax Museum of Madame Tussauds, which features the wax figures of celebrities of the past and present. However, aside from the humorous poses with these statues, […]
To Whom It May Concern
December 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · Arts
It all started a year ago, when a mysterious and creepy video featuring slightly disturbing imagery over an experimental electronica soundtrack was uploaded on to the iamamiwhoami channel on Youtube. The videos were continuously uploaded, and the public wondered of the meaning behind the project. Soon after, the people behind the channel sent a package […]
