Swindell steals the limelight in first full-length

By Amanda Boyer | February 20

Georgia Native Cole Swindell had a successful year in 2013, going from Luke Bryan's merchandise guy to Bryan's opening act on his headline tour and releasing his well-known single, "Chillin 'It." Although Swindell is telling listeners to chill and relax, he has in no way been doing this in order to prepare for his first release of his self-titled album with 12 new songs released on Feb. 18. Although there are songs about chillin' it on the album, Swindell sings about heartbreak, where you come from, and how you grew up.

RoboCop' revamped

By Staff Writer | February 20

Ever since "Short Circuit" came out with the lovable robot Johnny Number 5 and the ruthless "Terminator" took screens in the '80s, it was just a matter of time before someone capitalized on the concept of human-robot relations.

Cowboy Junkies to perform full iconic album at SOPAC

By Staff Writer | February 20

The success of "The Trinity Session," the Cowboy Junkies' second album, came as a complete surprise, according to bassist Alan Anton. The music was so unusual-sounding, so outside-the-box, that it was never expected to catch on with a mainstream audience, Anton said.

Miniseries captures history of Bond

By Staff Writer | February 15

It wouldn't be hard to argue that we all have our own ideal fantasies, where if the world catered to our imagination and was receptive enough to react accordingly, we would be the coolest people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Sadly there is something limiting all of our wildest fantasies of course; it's that the world is not actually a fictional place that uses our deepest desires and intents as blueprints to construct itself - But not to worry, that's why we have James Bond.

Piece of (cup) cake

By Samantha Giedris | February 15

Mug recipes are ideal for college students because all of these meals are designed for the microwave. The catch is that almost all of these microwavable treats have lots of expensive or unusual ingredients. Here are a few recipes for morning or night that have easy directions and easy access to most, if not all, of the ingredients:

Outsiders' brings Church to the top

By Amanda Boyer | February 15

After almost a three year break since releasing his recording breakthrough and CMA award winning album of the year "Chief", contemporary country singer Eric Church is rolling out his fourth co-written album titled "The Outsiders." This album shows how Church is taking risks and particularly doing it better than most of the country singers of his generation so far with his use of creativity. Throughout the 12 songs in the tracklist, Church mixes in genres like rock, rap and metal giving his fans a new twist to his classic contemporary taste shown through "how he was and how he rolls" in his previous albums.

That Awkward Moment' sheds light on today's dating world

By Staff Writer | February 6

It has been a long time since poetic confessions of love, soliloquies of passion and "Hamlet"-style suicides have set the stage when talking about dating and romance. Shakespeare was a couple of centuries ago, but that seems to be just the point. With the audience of romantic comedies dwindling to teenage girls and their reluctant boyfriends, star Zac Efron teamed with director Tom Gormican and decided to offer a new take on some of the old clich?©s. Though formerly titled "Are We Officially Dating?", if the name switch to "That Awkward Moment" isn't enough, the trailer should show that this rom-com is as testosterone-filled as they come.

Are You the One?' is for no one

By Staff Writer | February 6

MTV has struck again with bad reality television. I've never been one for reality TV, except for the "Real World Road Rules Challenge" series, but this show hurts.

Labor Day' a labor to watch for unromantics

By Emily Balan | February 6

Director Jason Reitman takes a solemn turn in the romantic drama "Labor Day." Known for directing "Up in the Air," "Juno" and "Thank You for Smoking," Reitman usually produces cheerful movies. "Labor Day," on the other hand, is serious, somber and intense with a touch of innocence.

Broad City' has broad appeal

By Staff Writer | February 6

If the Comedy Central network's greatest successes are its satire programs ("The Daily Show," "Tosh.0"), their newest original series, "Broad City," has to be considered a contender to make sketch comedy the network's biggest attraction, at least potentially.

Worlds collide on Syfy

By Staff Writer | February 6

There are two worlds: a futuristic world where there is an excess of luxuries and comforts and a primitive world of coldness and despair. While one world is orderly, technology-based and abundantly materialistic, the other world features simple clothing and cavemen necessities. Which world would you rather live in?

Author will share latest novel at Poetry-in-the-Round

By Staff Writer | February 4

Under the far-reaching umbrella of contemporary fiction, most writers tend to stay on one side as long as it's out of the rain. They find their genre or interest, be it experimental, the mundane, fantastical or any of the thirty or so genres available to them, and stick to it. Call it an inability to change. Call it being too comfortable. Call it whatever you like, the truth remains. When a writer finds something that can sell, rarely are they going to venture out into the rainy days of uncertainty.
