Day & Age is more than just another mentionable addition to the band’s repertoire. It is a marvelously written and beautifully orchestrated beacon of hope for the previously dismal future of music.

The terms ‘greatness’ and ‘best all-time’ have been thrown around for many figures in politics, sports, etc. Unlike Bill Clinton or Kevin Garnett, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow not only reaches both of those platforms, he sets the bar even higher.
After the thrill of leading Florida to its second national title in three seasons, Tebow has the ultimate choice of returning for more collegiate glory or testing the waters of the NFL. Everyone knows he has the ultimate passion for the game unlike any other, but will that translate to the professional ranks? Many think not. NFL Draft “expert” Mel Kiper thinks Tebow can’t play quarterback and should focus his incredible skills as … gulp … a tight end.

Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago is reminiscent of an indie radio station I encountered while in Seattle, called The Mountain. Like Death Cab for Cutie and Snow Patrol, the band’s primary force, Justin Vernon, is heartfelt in his crooning. Yet like most of the indie music scene, he is plagued with a sort of Lithium-induced melancholy. While his music comes equipped with angelic elements, the earlier tracks, especially “Flume,” “Lump Sum,” and “The Wolves (Act I & II),” contain very somber tones.

The phrase “giving back to the community” is often not associated with college students in the eyes of the older crowd.
