Boston Calling; Top Acts Answer
Seniors, here's one more reason why Commencement will be awesome: the first ever Boston Calling music festival will take place over Memorial Day Weekend (May 25 and 26). Mainstream juggernauts fun., fresh off a double win at the Grammys, headline a roster of talented indie acts. With The Shins and The National also at the top of the bill and local Boston food trucks scheduled to line the venue at City Hall Plaza, Boston Calling is set to be a memorable event.
Forecast: Yardfest 2013
As news pours in from around the country about other colleges' spring shows, Harvard awaits the announcement of Yardfest 2013's lineup with bated breath. Will it be Panic! at the Disco (because so many of us apparently want to believe that)? Macklemore, because he, like many of us, only has $20.00 in his pocket? In the meantime, a list of our most likely candidates:
Big Bird
One of the hardest things for any artist to do is to mesh two different styles without compromising the integrity of either one. “Big Bird” is an example of precisely how this should be done. It is full of rock elements, but never once sounds like anything but a soul song. It captures both rock’s hard edge and soul’s lushness.
The Breaking Point
The U.S. has witnessed its share of fans-gone-obsessive, including occasional celebrity stalking cases.

In contrast, there is an entire breed of K-pop fans who have taken fandom to an alarming level.
The Shape of the Script
Harvard’s diverse student productions depend on a small but devoted team of set designers, whose task is to create a captivating world on stage.
Relevance of Art Debated at Kennedy School
Panelists from Harvard graduate schools met for a panel entitled "Are Arts Relevant in a 21st Century World?" The panelists discussed ways to popularize the arts and to make art an effective tool for social change.
Dashes, Commas, and Colons—Oh My!
Periods, commas, and colons are the fine-edged tools writers need to contour the voice they want the world to hear. When we treat writing not only as a structure of pages, paragraphs, sentences, and words, but also as a patchwork of punctuation marks, reality can celebrate for having another level of gradation revealed through language.
Social Artist and Poet Spreads Joy in the Square
In scanning the sidewalks and horizons for targets to deliver the lines to, the walkers were encouraged to truly pay attention to their presence in a social space. “You created smiles that didn’t exist before,” Cotner told the participants.
Love and the Absence of Colour
I loved you the first time we spoke. It was at your party during that black night in your gray apartment on your white couch in my black-and-white dress when I wanted nothing more than to lie in your white room on your white bed and stare at the white ceiling and make gray clouds and think black thoughts with you.
