Defibrillator
Jellyfish Spilt Milk 1993 A brute force of power pop, the glam rockers of Jellyfish were overshadowed by flannel-clad grunge bands popular at the time of their '93 release of Spilt Milk, a symphonic gem that features heavily layered guitars, organs and Queen-like harmonies.

Word on the Street
It's always fascinated me to see just how long Penn students will wait in line. Whether it's at Smoke's, a random frat party or the two-and-a-half block queue to get into this year's Player's Ball athletic formal, girls willingly expose their legs to the below freezing winds while their dates contemplate the pros and cons of busting out their wallets for speedier service.
A Holy Matrimony
The Starlight Ballroom was designed for dancing. As you walk into the place, a disco ball throws deceiving patterns of colored light on the wide dance floor, informing you that you didn't come here to stand still.
