Seniors, we’ve got one semester left. Let’s look toward the future and plan for the rest of our lives, but let’s learn a lesson from J. Cole while we’re at it.
For David Quick, Christmas is on Jan. 8 — Elvis' birthday. For the 19th year, the co-founder organized and coordinated a two-day music festival on Jan. 8 and Jan. 9, called "Elvisfest," where bands and Elvis enthusiasts travel from all over the country to Bailey's Sports Grille in Chapel Hill to enjoy what Quick calls "best first party of the year." Assistant Arts & Entertainment Editor Ryan Schocket spoke with him about the festival, his burning love for Elvis and Elvis' love of bacon.
Though he was clearly not Taylor’s choice of counterpart, Ryan Seacrest could give us the first gift of the new year: the release of “Out of the Woods” (not to be confused with hit Broadway musical “Into the Woods”).
2015 was a huge year for music. We saw one of the biggest hit singles of our generation, a star was thrown into legendary stardom and another celebrity had a major rebrand to bring them back into the limelight.
After hours of watching this year's greatest music videos, we decided these were the seven most important.
Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton will be playing at The Carolina Theatre on Dec. 14. She will be performing the majority of songs from her new album, Liberman. Assistant Arts & Entertainment Editor Ryan Schocket spoke with Carlton about her new sound, getting advice from Stevie Nicks and "A Thousand Miles" being a drunk favorite.
G-Eazy is an up and coming hip-hop artist known for his social media presence and for being a cooler Macklemore. His newest album, When It's Dark Outside, will be released tomorrow. Staff writer Morgan Howard spoke with G-Eazy, real name Gerald Gillum, via email about his sound and his rise to fame.
I love Christmas. (Here’s proof.) I start listening to Christmas music on Nov. 1... like not kidding. Unfortunately, though, there are some songs I just cannot handle.
This time of year is usually a time for comfort, rejoice and relaxation with friends and loved ones — but not for me. The holidays have proven time and time again to be the most traumatizing weeks of my life. But like a phoenix, I rise from the ashes with lessons of wisdom that I now can share with you:
Situated amongst several other statues in scenic McCorkle Place, the Silent Sam memorial has attracted mounting controversy this semester. While some staunchly defend Sam’s place on the Upper Quad, groups such as the Real Silent Sam Coalition have repeatedly called for the statue’s contextualization and removal.
Thanksgiving has come and gone, leaving us all with tighter fitting pants and a solid month of Christmas music everywhere you go. Despite being a huge enthusiast of everything Christmas, I have to admit that hearing the same Michael Buble song over and over again can make you feel a little less than jolly (“Santa buddy”? Really?). What Christmas music needs is some more variety.
College is a journey.
If the thought of the semester’s last two weeks has you in despair, fear not!
Unless you’ve been hanging out with your friend Patrick Star under a rock for the last week, then you’re surely aware that Adele released her newest album “25” last Friday. After several years away from the music industry the British singer was welcomed back with open arms (and many tears.)
The touring life is an unforgiving one for upstart bands attempting to make an impression in music scenes that still reward blood, sweat and tears over the ability to produce formulaic hit singles. There is a sharp disparity between the luxury of Beyonce and Bieber’s deluxe touring buses and the harsh reality of a four person band, their crew and gear trekking across the states in a tightly packed rented van. When confined to this standard of living, a five-week tour often seems an eternity.
Jordan Chavis was nervous. He had worked for Red Bull before at non-traditional sporting events, but this was his first time DJing for a specific team — UNC’s football team.
This week, the Dixie Chicks released dates for their “DCX MMXVI” tour in the United States after a long hiatus. Typing that gave me chills!
One thing can make or break a party, and that is the music. Have you ever been to a fun party but the music was terrible and that killed your mood? I have. And I took that into consideration when I planned my first Halloween party. I literally created a playlist weeks in advance, and it turned out to be a big hit.
Music professor Juan Álamo’s students march to the beat of their own drums. They’re members of UNC Global Rhythms Ensemble, a group that aims to honor non-European musical traditions in higher education.
