Stupid t-shirts
By Madeline Brown
Being a cashier at a book/arts supply/LSU stuff store gives me a chance to strike up conversations with some interesting people.

Oil & Guns & Sons, Oh My!
By Jason AndreasenÂ
Last night, I made the choice to go see No Country for Old Men over Juno and There Will Be Blood. The movie was really well acted and was quite impressive. After the movie, I snuck into There Will Be Blood. Wow.

My, how the mighty have fallen…

It wasn’t that long ago that American Idol was the biggest thing since U2’s Zoo TV. It wasn’t that long ago that Simon Cowell was annointed as Pop Prophet. It wasn’t that long ago that people cared.
American Idol kicked off it’s seventh season on Tuesday, Jan. 15 to some of the worst ratings […]

 By Jason Andreasen
There is no questioning the fact that the biggest rock reunion of 2007 occurred when Led Zeppelin descended on O2 Arena in London this past December. With throngs of fans and rock stars (who grew up gesturing to the skies like Robert Plant) in attendance, Zeppelin took the stage and left it with millions wishing […]
