Halloween Costumes Done Right

This year for Halloween, instead of being a Catholic schoolgirl or throwing on a Lakers jersey to be Kobe Bryant (or Ms. Walk of Shame) again, why not show everyone how culturally aware (read: pseudo-intellectual) you are?

Ego of the Week: Josh Bennett

Street: What’s the soundtrack to your life? Josh Bennett: The current soundtrack to my life is Lupe Fiasco’s The Cool. Socially critical, playful, lyrically complex — it’s essentially everything that I want people to say about my body of work when I’m gone. Street: Who’s the coolest person you’ve ever met? JB: The coolest person I’ve ever met would have to be [The Boondocks cartoonist] Aaron McGruder.

If iPod, Do You Pod?

Technology has fetishized miniaturization as of late — just compare Zach Morris’ shoebox-sized cell phone on Saved by the Bell to Derek Zoolander’s supersupersmall one.

Dying Stars

Stars' latest, the six-song Sad Robots EP, immediately feels like a collection of tunes that didn't quite make the cut for the band's excellent 2007 full-length, In Our Bedroom After The War.

Ego of the week: Gabe Head

Street: If you could write your own superlative, what would it be? GH: “Tired of being introduced as the guy with the fellacious name.” Street: What was your first reaction when you found out what your superlative was? GH: I got three mentions! Street: In high school you were most likely to…? GH: “Star in a pornographic film.” Street: What do you plan to name your children? GH: Anything but Gabe. Street: Why not just go by Gabriel? GH: Because then I would never be in 34th Street. Street: When did you realize that your name might be the potential source of amusement for others / yourself? GH: My seventh grade teacher gave me the hilarious nickname of “Give ‘em.” Street: Who’s the coolest person you’ve ever met?

The University of Sexylvania

The Street Sweeper may be defunct, but that was just gossip anyway. In the spirit of Fling, here are four true sex stories - messy, drunken sex stories.

We (Don't) Have to Take Our Clothes Off!

You're running around the Quad, going from one fried food stand to the next, bumping into people you haven't seen since freshman year and trying half-heartedly to listen to the music coming from the Lower Quad stage.
