Tapes ‘n Tapes Interview

It’s hard to take Tapes ‘n Tapes seriously. They may seem like the latest ‘bloggers’-choice,’ over-hyped band of the moment, but where’s the drama, the attitude, the extraneous noise pollution? It doesn’t make sense—can this really be an indie band?

Sordid Lives gets naked

Three half naked cowboys in boxers take the stage in a small black room with a low ceiling with two pissed off, outrageously dressed southern women holding a shot gun and a revolver. A loud BANG follows and one of the lights goes out. “I said DANCE!” Sound like the next Quentin Tarantino film?

Decemberists: a major label band with an indie mindset

When The Decemberists announced that they would release their fourth full-length album with mega-label Capitol Records, indie music-loving eyebrows around the world shot up in surprise. Visions of peeling back the cellophane packaging on The Crane Wife only to find a pepped-up, TRL version of the band mingled with self-righteous cries of “sell-out” from high school cafeterias around the nation.

Signs of Protest: Inside Gallaudet

The thousands of silent protesters in front of the Capitol building last Saturday must have appeared to tourists to be the most polite agitators ever to stand on that lawn. Not a word could be heard amongst the observers as one lone voice echoed from the speaker’s platform, but the crowd rippled with constant, soundless motion.

Turnovers kill Hoyas’ chances once again

Much like Bill Murray’s character in Groundhog Day, the Georgetown football team (1-6, 0-4) is having a recurring bad dream. The Hoyas were once again stricken by key turnovers and an anemic offense in their 17-7 loss to the Bucknell Bison.
