On the Wednesday, December 3rd Student Senate meeting, there was a special item on the agenda- proposed floor plans for a new student union area on campus at MCTC.
The agenda item was intended to introduce the architects and their ideas that they developed from student feedback via surveys about what they would like to see in a student union.
On Tuesday Dec. 9, a group of students from the course Race to Save the Planet petitioned students in the T building skyway. The students were attempting to collect signatures to show support for making our campus greener. Their main focus was gathering support to replace the containers in the school cafeteria, with more earth-friendly biodegradable containers.
One of my favorite things about concerts is the buildup of anticipation between the last opening act and the headlining artist. Matt Nathanson lived up to that buildup and delivered a show of singer-songwriter magic. His show was, far and away, one of the best that I’ve been to in a very long time, and I was only familiar with one song going into it.
Dec. 2 Minneapolis; Pantages theater filled up with one of the most age diverse crowds I’ve seen in Minneapolis to bob their heads or dance to the funky soul music of Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings.
Menahan Street Band with special guest singer Charles Bradley opened for Sharon Jones with mostly instrumental funk jazz music that would be fitting for any seventies movie with a bad ass chase scene in need of a jazz flute.
Screw Twilight! Go see a good movie, “Let the Right One In” Let the Right One In (A.K.A. “LÜt Den RÑtte Komma In”), or as I’ve been referring to it, “the other vampire movie,” out of Sweden instantly became one of my new favorite films of the year as I left the Lagoon theater in Uptown Minneapolis, euphorically taking it all in.
Snow Patrol- A Hundred Million Suns Andrea Johnson Snow Patrol’s latest release, “A Hundred Million Suns” is an excellent soundtrack for someone who wishes to meditate about a relationship, self reflect, or simply have something quiet and moody to listen to during their morning commute.
Musically, the man’s got it. Really, how many people can throw a cover of a song into the middle one of their own songs and really make it work?
There comes a point in everyone’s career where they have to redefine themselves. Sometimes this is just due to good marketing skills and to get people interested in you. But sometimes this “redefinition” happens due to life events. Tragedies are always sad.but it’s undeniable.tragedy creates the best passion and has created some of the greatest songs of all time.
