Boot ‘N Paddle

Top of the Hill: Music Review

Thursday, March 4th, 2010 by Tyler Ross

Published February 5, 2010
From its onset, Electric Version by The New Pornographers is immediately catchy.  The album’s opening track, aptly titled “The Electric Version,” starts with frenetic drums that are quickly matched by a jumping guitar riff.   When frontman A.C. Newman falls in with his soulful yet quirky vocals, you know it’s a match made [...]

Hidden Gems

It’s February, and I think we all know what that means: it’s still cold. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I can move on to more important subjects, like Spanish thrillers.  Those of you who don’t know me too well might think that I was being clever in the [...]

Published January 29, 2010
Well, it’s a New Year, at least in the real world. Here it’s just a new semester, Part Two of the epic saga of Your Life. For me it’s sophomore year, Episode Two: Revenge of the Return of the Wrath of the Yeti’s Ghost (Rated PG-13 for mild language and intense battle sequences). [...]

As Etsy gains popularity on the SLU campus, we at Hidden Gems have decided to dedicate this week’s column to the little guys, independent artists struggling to get their art, and their message, out to the people.
What is the best way to get the younger generations interested in anything?  Add some sharp [...]

Winter in the North County appears as consistent and reliable as basic necessities in Haiti. Too soon?  I meant that to catch your attention. Woe to he who assumes that winter will be cold and snowy. With these changes in mind, I am proposing a few Outing Club trips to take advantage [...]

Vampire Weekend blew up in 2007 when their self-titled EP blazed through the indie blog and forum circuit.   Despite the hype and expectations surrounding its release in 2008, the band’s debut album, Vampire Weekend, was a rousing success, selling a cool half-million copies.   A skilled group of musicians combining a [...]

The hopes of a segregated nation were answered on August 28, 1963 with the promise of a dream. An infamous day in American history, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream”  speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. On that day, no American, black or white, could [...]
