A friend handed me the CD and had this to say about it:
"It sucks and sounds nothing like their previous work."
That was all that I had to go off of with regards to Ra Ra Riot's new album, The Orchard. Quite frankly, that was terrifying. Here I was still reeling from the 2008 release of their dazzling album The Rhumb Line and now I'm told that their new material is crap? I was crushed.

I have come to enjoy the three and a half hour drive between Charleston and Chicagoland-you can not know the Midwest until you've seen the sun set over endless cornfields and dilapidated sheds.
But as I drove Interstate 57 this past weekend, my usual revelry was rudely interrupted.

In the Panthers' week of preparation for Iowa, one idea was set in stone: the Panthers might not beat the Hawkeyes, but they will know what kind of team they have after the game. The Eastern football team traveled to Iowa City to play the Iowa Hawkeyes Saturday, and lost 37-7, but the coaches liked what they saw.

Last year Blake Leitch would have never thought he would be saying that within the next year he would become a crucial member of the Student Government Association (SGA), earning the title of Student Trustee on the Lake Land College Board of Trustees.

Cambridge, Massachusetts natives Passion Pit have yet to play a show in Champaign-Urbana. Chicago seems to be the closest that they've come while in Illinois, and that's just sad. We poor college kids can hardly afford to eat, so how the heck can we drop what we're doing and book it to Chi-town?
Fortunately for you (and me), Passion Pit will be making a stop in the C-U area at the University of Illinois Assembly Hall on Wednesday, October 20 while on the Campus Consciousness Tour.
