It may seem presumptuous, but Bright Eyes' new (and possibly last) album "The People's Key" is a game-changer for the band and for rock music.

The music creshendo to an overwhelming volume, and your heart pounds in rhythm to the beat of the drum as the hero/heroine of the movie is running for their lives from the relentless assassin/killer/ or advisor.

Piece of Craft: Handmade Jewelry from Sweet Tea Shoppe

Etsy is an ideal website designed for the crafter looking to sell their designs and find a following in the creative world.  I always browse through the shops on this website when I get bored because there’s just so many great places to buy one-of-a-kind handmade items.  Really, you never know what you’re going to find!

Flight of the Carillon

Most ASU students on the Tempe campus are familiar with the sounds of the carillon, but few can explain the source of the chiming bells at the top of the hour or the music ringing around the Memorial Union daily at 5 p.m.

How to: Be Single on Valentine’s Day

For many people, it’s difficult to swallow singleness when February rolls around. Some will scrounge around for a date, but is that really necessary? There are plenty of ways to keep your mind off the roses, chocolates, jewelry and fancy dinners that accompany the holiday of love.

Live and Otherwise: Music Fills the Hallways of MIM

Music is the language of the soul. No, it’s not the title of some New Age self-help book, or yet another "Chicken Soup for the Soul" concoction. This is the premise behind the relatively new addition to the museum circuit in the Valley.

Palm Walk Runway: College Casual

Everything is always better in threes. And for these three ASU students, their fashion sense definitely reflects on each other. I love how diverse our campus is.

Non-Required Reading: Cowboys and Aliens Take Over

Now, last time , I discussed our first appearance of the Captain America trailer, so you’d probably think I was going to discuss Thor’s Super Bowl appearance. Wrong. Long story short, that trailer didn’t have Idris Elba, so a big-time “meh.” I’m going to talk about "Cowboys & Aliens," also known as the greatest movie ever made that hasn’t come out yet. Here’s a brief summary of "Cowboys & Aliens:"  James Bond is a cowboy that has a weird object on his arm.

Piece of Craft: Love is in the Air...Literally

Whether you have that special someone or you consider Valentine’s Day to be just another day of the week, you cannot deny that something is in the air...and in our case, it’s these hearts!  I happened to stumble across this idea, originally done by Martha Stewart not too long ago and decided to try it out.

Sun Devils in the Memorial Union were given a show Thursday as a coordinated freeze-flash mob filled the building’s hallways in attempt to re-energize and lift spirits during a stressful time of year.
