Playlists
One Track Mind
With less than two minutes of a new track, Drake has left us pleasantly surprised. One of the recent leaks off his debut album — Thank Me Later, set for release in May — is an incomplete clip from a love song called “Fall For Your Type.” And even missing three of its verses, it’s rather good.
Schizophrenic Slash
Guitar god Slash has showcased his talent for lightning-fast fretboard fingering in many bands from the ego-fraught Guns ‘n’ Roses to the all-star line-up of Velvet Revolver and the guitar-centric Slash’s Snakepit.
Defibrillator: Washington Social Club, Catching Looks (2002)
I’ll admit, I may have been inappropriately obsessed with D.C. local celebrities and jangly indie rock quintet Washington Social Club.
Mo' Money, Mo' Musyck
Winston Ojeda Jr. has plans for “total world domination.” The president of Musyck.com, a new website promoting itself as the “Fan-Powered Musyck Revolution,” has big hopes for his patent-pending brainchild.
The Mighty Ones
It’s 3 p.m. at Mighty Writers and everyone is in motion. Two eighth grade boys are hunched over a computer, fighting over which Pandora station to play.
Put Some Spring In Your (Fashion) Step
Do This: Sundresses on the Green Not That: Bikinis on the Green are, simply, tacky.
From The Editor : 4.08.10
Here at the Street office, we have something called the time suck. It’s from 10 p. m. to 2 a.m., and within it, time simply disappears.
Ego of The Week: Colby Farber
Colby Farber sometimes makes masks out of pizza. She also cried when she found out she was this week's Ego.
Zum Zum Zum
For two girls who rarely — if ever — enter the gleaming doors of Pottruck, Zumba’s motto held infinite appeal.
Toasts & Roasts: 04.8.10
This week Passover and Easter overlapped, meaning campus was empty and boring. Toasts to anything fun and exciting that happened this week. The warm weather reminded us of those Spring Break days on da beach and nights in da club.
Politics Schmolitics
Last week at our Passover Seder my family got into a political discussion (read: screaming match). Someone brought up Israel and before you knew it Grandma was foaming at the mouth yelling something about Palestine.
Overheard: 4.8.10
Chilling outside of Blarney: Dude talking to another dude: I got drunk and I got naked … it happens.
True Life
The best thing about joining a sorority was that I got 150 new sisters. My Facebook friend count became enviably high overnight.
America's Favorite Vegetable
The British call them chips, the Spanish, papas fritas and the French, pommes frites. Here in the USA, we call them French fries (or Freedom fries, if you’re at Geno’s). How, you might ask, did these tasty treats come to accompany our burgers, hide tucked in our gyros and satiate our drunken cravings?
Flay Fillets Phill-ay
It was a veritable who’s who of celebrity chefs at Bobby’s Burger Palace on Tuesday, the Grand Opening of Bobby Flay’s newest — and first urban — location of the hamburger chain.
Grilling Guru Talks Burgers
Amidst the frenzy of photo posing, autographing and hand shaking, grilling guru Bobby Flay took the time to talk to Street about his grilling lifestyle, the perfect burger, his favorite Philly eateries and his newest Bobby Burger’s Palace (BBP) situated on our campus.
Turn Up The Flame
Rittenhouse bistro Rouge has been serving up popular French cuisine since ‘98, but the fate of the classic Rouge burger changed last May.
The Luck Of The Irish
After getting spooked out by The Eclipse, Street sat down with director Conor McPherson (also a well-known playwright) and actor Ciaran Hinds (Munich, There Will Be Blood) to discuss ghosts, choirs and Irish things. Street: Conor, you wrote and directed plays before making the transition to film.
For The Love Of Stop-Motion
Although stop-motion has been around since the early days of film, it has burst back into the spotlight over the past twenty years courtesy of The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Fantastic Mr. Fox and the Wallace & Gromit series, among other modern animation classics.
