“If you don’t expect too much from me, you might not be let down.”

Ah well, I’m not gonna get too sentimental like those other sticky valentines. I’ve had the chance to write about music once a week, which to me is as lucky as anyone gets here on campus. (If anyone wants to offer me a column somewhere else, my e-mail address is still dsng@fas for now. I don’t even want to think about being dsng@post.) It’s weird to think so much has changed in the world of pop music in four years. When I first came to Harvard, “MmmBop” had just been the hit of the summer. Who knew then it was a marker of a seismic pop-cultural shift towards boybands? The Hanson boys did, after all, play their own instruments. But it’s been fun chronicling those changes these past one-and-half years and to get in the occasional dig at Puffy and Britney. My thanks to all the Arts writers, to Thalia for allowing this column to go on and to anyone who sent in comments or who came up to me with suggestions. And thanks for reading.

Respectfully submitted,

Daryl Sng
