BY CAROLINE CRONIN Harvard-Radcliffe Modern Dance Company’s Spring Show. Dance is meant to move you, body and soul. Some kinds of dance have you itching to jump out of your seat and bust a move no matter who is watching or where you are. That dance is a celebration of life and happiness that can […]
BY HANNAH KATES A Review of Kendrick Lamar’s Newest Album. To Pimp a Butterfly is good, to say the least. So good that it prompted an all-caps tweet from Taylor Swift. So good that “i”, its fifteenth track, won two Grammy awards before the rest of the album was even released. So good that many […]
A photo essay by CAROLINE SILBER. What will become of the cars? In the land-that-time-forgot that is Cuba today, most cars are either American behemoths from the fifties or tiny Russian Ladas from the seventies. The Lada would almost fit in the trunk of a ’57 Chevy. You may have seen them in pictures but until you visit you do not realize what […]

BY MOIYA MCTIER Reasons why 50 Shades of Grey should have had a trigger warning. I didn’t read 50 Shades of Grey. I’m telling you this now so that you don’t keep reading thinking this will be some literary critique of the book. And though I would like to think I know more than the […]
BY ELOISE LYNTON An interview with Georgia Stirtz. This past Sunday, many of you may have spent the majority of the day in bed, shielding yourself from the harsh winter weather by hibernating beneath your comforters. I, however, acting as the developed Harvard intellectual that I consider myself to be, decided to go to the […]
BY RITCHEY HOWE Hopefully, I’m not the only one. I remember last year when my friends told me to buy a ticket to see Sam Smith at the Sinclair. To be completely honest, I had to Google search this artist. Then I quickly recalled, “Oh he is the singer on the new Disclosure song!” I […]
BY ANDREW LIN On artistic subcultures versus a catchy T-Swift single. First come the bass tones, heavy and minimalistic, the not-quite-identifiable apex of a musical progression stretching back through to Bach and Gibbons and a whole host of other dead names.
