As we have all been spending our days in quarantine lazing around and wearing nothing but our coziest sweatpants, it’s hard to imagine that we would change anything about our appearances when the new school year rolled around. As sophomore Eimear Debhaile put it, “Oftentimes I don’t even change ...

Single Review: Garden
James Paul
September 11, 2020
Rating: 8/10 Spotify shoveled Meet Me @ The Altar’s new single “Garden” into the dark corners of an obscurely alternative playlist, thus giving the song a well-deserved platform, while simultaneously dismissing a clean-cut pop-punk gem that would have Blink-182 and that girl from Lemonade Mout...
Album Review: The Horror and the Wild
Newt Zoido Tortella
September 11, 2020
Rating: 10/10 “The Horror and the Wild” is a Folk-rock album by The Amazing Devil, a London-based band consisting of Joey Batey and Madeleine Hyland. The two singers have very different vocal ranges, yet they complement each other really well: Batey’s ability to go from a soft croon to an alm...

Francesca Purificato
September 11, 2020
Rating: 8/10 Juice Wrld’s posthumous album “Legends Never Die” was a big hit. It runs at a fairly large number of 22 tracks and was released on July 10 this year. The emo rap album as a whole was very melodic with a great use of drums, bass, and electric guitar. A lot of the songs had a quit...
Love Dot Loooong: this rom-com set in DC is a bit boring
May 3, 2020
Okay, so I didn’t need a love story set in DC with two Black leads until I heard it existed. “Love Dot Com: The Social Experiment” is just that! Made in 2019, a Netflix original directed by Charneice Fox and filmed here in DC, the movie had a cute, relevant premise, and used beautiful shots of the...

A humble reflection on creativity
April 5, 2020
As I drift aimlessly amid stiff smiles, performing thoughtless recitations that have become so routine, I reframe the life that plays before me. Schoolwork appears humorous, pens seem to click in a synchronized fashion. My motions begin to align with an internal monologue; the hum of the Metro tracks will u...

Harley, action shine in gleeful “Birds of Prey” movie
April 1, 2020
What else did you expect from a movie with the word ‘fantabulous’ in its title? “Birds of Prey: and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn” is not a great film by any means, but it’s a fun, energetic, joyous, and, yes, fantabulous romp. The plot is more coherent and inventive tha...
