In addition to its beauty and romanticism, the country of France has long been saluted for its crossroad of European art and music. Where these paths of notable expression intersect exists a man of music notation nobility; Guillaume Yann Tiersen. His historical home, the province of Brittany, lies in North-Western France, a previous royal kingdom.
Tragedy rocked the fashion world last week when news of famed designer Alexander McQueen’s death broke on Thursday, Feb. 11. Nine days after the death of his mother, the 40-year-old designer was found dead in his London apartment, and jaws dropped as to whether or not this was a question of suicide.

Back in the prehistoric days of Internet promiscuity, before watchdog groups such as NBC’s “To Catch a Predator” corrupted the pastime of many mid-western meth/chatroom addicts, the Internet was a lethargic realm full of curiosity, but without the speed to unleash its true possibilities.
If I told you I wasn’t crazy, would you believe me? Really? Who’s to say your version of reality is any more or any less real than my own? Who’s to say you’re not dreaming right now? It all seems to make perfect sense while your cerebral cortex is trippin’ out on REMs, but you’ll wake up the next morning questioning what was, until just moments ago, legitimate reality comprised of absurd images, thoughts, sounds and their associated emotions.
Straight out of West London, Mumford & Sons is set to release their U.S. debut album, “Sigh No More,” on March 2. The reason I am telling you this is because it is an album that you must hear. The songs rely heavily on an old-time banjo sound and roots lying in country, folk and bluegrass.
the USD campus was a great success. This time, instead of gracing our homecoming stage or Aromas coffee house, they debuted in front of the new Plaza Mayor amphitheatre at the Student Life Pavilion. “We’re stoked to be back at USD!” lead singer Dan Curcio proudly proclaimed, right before the show began.
Have you ever thought about how lucky you are? How your biggest problem may be that you don’t have a day off because you attend a four-year university and have two jobs? I have. I had a major realization yesterday that my life is damn near perfect when I really think about it.

With a strong comedic cast, Steve Pink’s “Hot Tub Time Machine” is looking to become a hit amongst its fans. Notable actors John Cusack, Craig Robinson, Chevy Chase, Rob Corddry and rising star Clark Duke add energy and excitement to the script.
A tough task to accomplish if your name isn't Will Shakespeare
It’s no easy task, defining love. But then again, when it comes to one of life’s most elusive mysteries, what is easy? Certainly not expressing its worth in words, as Shakespeare spent an entire lifetime trying to do so. Not relaying its meaning on canvas, for Van Gogh lost his mind attempting to portray this significance in his paintings.
It’s been a little over two months since James Cameron’s “Avatar” came out in all its 3-D glory. Since the film’s release it has not only gotten everyone talking about the neverending possibilities of computer generated animation, but it has broken the record for the highest grossing IMAX film in history.
