A ‘Bitch and’ good time

It’s easy to get angry about how women, especially lesbians, are often degraded by pop culture. But it takes a special sensibility to turn that fury into something as silly-yet-serious as Brooklyn-based duo Bitch and Animal make their live shows. Those of you who were privileged enough to attended their concert in Bulldog Alley last year know exactly what’s in store for show-goers.

An illusory love

I find it unfortunate that in recent issues of this Catholic university’s newsmagazine, the only pieces dealing with Catholic issues have shallowly criticized its teachings. Catholicism has a tremendous amount of truth, peace and splendor to offer. Before going any further, I hope it is not presumptuous to assume that the students and professors that come to study and teach at this Catholic institution of higher education do so voluntarily, much like the adherents of Catholicism freely choose to practice that religion.

Come to my house!

We’ll folks, we are in the midst of one of those times of the year again for sports fans. A time when nothing is really going on and all we can do is sit around and wait for the excitement of the upcoming weeks, which can’t come fast enough.

The Winter Olympics are over, Michael Jordan will be out for at least a few months after his upcoming knee surgery, and basketball and hockey season are still in that unintense pre-playoff period.

Despite efforts, avant-jazz album still boring

Jazz has fallen a long way from its ‘60s-era, hell-raising fury. With his new album Nu Bopp, pianist Matthew Shipp is apparently trying to reclaim some of the fire, but he only manages to hold a lighter in the air as a cheap reminder. Shipp probably thought that he could garner some innovation points by adding electronic weirdo FLAM to the rhythm section.

Women’s basketball limps to the finish

The Georgetown Hoyas’ women’s basketball team has struggled throughout this season, while being decimated by injuries including a leg stress fracture to preseason First-Team All Big East sophomore forward Rebekkah Brunson. As a result, the Hoyas have not lived up to expectations, finishing with a 12-15 overall record and a 4-12 mark in the Big East Conference, after finishing 17-15 overall and 6-10 in the Big East last year.
