Critical Voices: Of Montreal, Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?, Polyvinyl

Far be it from me to speculate on Kevin Barnes’ emotional state, but after listening to the latest Of Montreal release, Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?, I’d have to say he got burned, badly.

Critical Voices: Shins, Wincing the Night Away, Transgressive

James Mercer and the Shins had it good. Their surprisingly deep first album, Oh, Inverted World, took off in the wake of Zach Braff’s decision to include two of its strongest songs on the soundtrack to Garden State. Their sophomore release, Chutes Too Narrow, was a worthy successor, eliminating most of their psychedelia in favor of more traditional pop. With their newest release, Wincing the Night Away, however, the Shins are merely ‘good’, and stacked up against their first two albums, it just isn’t enough.

Sports Sermon

It seems like just yesterday that the months of anticipation gave way to the first home basketball game of the season. A preseason ranking, coupled with the rich history of a century of Hoyas basketball, left little room for any other team in the hearts of Georgetown students. Nevertheless, the somewhat disappointing season is more than half way over, with only a handful of home games left on the schedule. Thankfully, the March 3 match-up against Connecticut does not have to mark the end of the basketball experience here in the nation’s capital.
