Given last week’s editorial, “What is the Difference,” we feel it is important to clarify and expand on some of the statements made and to make clear what the difference really is.
The majority of funding cuts from requested budget amounts actually came from larger organizations, namely MAC, Sports Club Council, The ORC, IM Sports, the Oredigger, GSA, and even ASCSM.
Broken Social Scene has done it again, and while it is not on the same level as their smash hit “You Forgot It In People,” Forgiveness Rock Record is worth the investment. Like most albums in the genre, this album starts of ramping up into a slower but calming intro with the languid but calm “World Sick.” The following few change the pace, with “Chase Scene” being my preferred choice as it has the feel of a futuristic chase scene, as the title implies.
The Bird & The Bee are undeniably hip. Singer/bassist Inara George (the bird) has a smooth-yet-powerful delivery, the likes of which reminds me of Feist or Astrud Gilberto. Matching her vocals with the modern synth-pop styling of Greg Kurstin (the bee) has already resulted in a pair of excellent records on jazz-label Blue Note Records. At a first glance, their newest record Interpreting the Masters Vol. 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates sticks out from the crowd.
Last week, there were two major developments in the campus parking situation. Golden City Council recently added a one block section of 15th street, from Washington Avenue to Arapahoe Street, to the city parking permit district. This parking permit district requires a permit from Golden and does not recognize any Mines permits.

Requiem is an older film, released in 2000, but is more than worth a review. It is one of the most powerful and life changing films ever made. But be warned, for it is not for the faint of heart due to its graphic nature. The emotions this movie causes are scary, sad, and revealing….
AutoVaughn officially released its Science of Our Time album on September 14 and it is all over the Internet as well. Science of Our Time is an album that demands to be played. It tells a story while inspiring its audience. Their genre is future rock where soft rock meets instrumental meets auxiliary percussion. Guitar…
At first listen, “The Right Place To Be EP” by Adventure Galley is surprisingly professional for a debut album of a relatively unknown band. After a few listens it is not surprising that Adventure Galley won the recent Toyota Music Rock The Space 2 contest. The album begins with a soulful prelude that sets the scene for the rest of the album; of course everything only gets better from here. This leads right into “Knife In The Sail,” a song that is sure to find you tapping your foot along with the jazzy beat. As you fall deeper into the CD, you will find yourself in amazement that such a great debut album is even possible.
