The boss is back

Weekly Top 10: Things learned this summer

1. We Really Don’t Like the Earth: Hey, remember that whole “unprecedented, horrific ecological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico” thing? Yeah, I sort of do too. I, like you, was pretty busy with getting prepped for Jersey Shore 2: Snooki 3D. We have priorities in America, people. Obviously, a problem we can’t see firsthand is not quite as real as the Tivo-ed Jersey Shore recap episode in front of us. And let’s face it, five thousand feet underwater is pretty hard to see. Unless you’re an oil-drenched fish.

In Review: 'The Rising Son: A Story Piece'

When you think of Oxford, rich culture and artistic history should be the first thoughts that come to your mind. William Faulkner, John Grisham and Modest Mouse are a few of the well-known artists with Oxfordian influence, but one more obscure artist that everyone in this town should known is Dex Edwards.

Changing the World One T-Shirt at a Time

Just dance

It was about four weeks ago that Lydia Siniard, director of the Hinge Dance Company, had an itch. This itch wasn’t one to scratch, but one to have her dance company hold a summer dance show.

Lesser known classic rock gems

Time Fades Away
By: Neil Young
Never officially released in any format besides vinyl, “Time Fades Away” is Neil Young at his rawest and most vulnerable. Following the success of his megahit “Harvest,” Young’s friend and guitarist Danny Whitten died of an overdose, which the musician considered to be his fault causing him to spiral into a deep depression. Wanting to stray from the country style on “Harvest,” Young recruited the Stray Gators to be his backing band.
