The Milton S. Eisenhower M Level Exhibit space welcomed a student produced exhibit entitled “Asger Jorn and CoBrA.” The exhibit, which was shown on April 26, was designed by students in the class “The Long Sixtie’s in Europe” taught by History of Art Professor Molly Warnock.
If you’ve been searching for a soundtrack for finals week, look no further. Indie pop artist Elliot Moss has that perfect slow, subdued vibe that is so well suited to all-nighters in Brody when you need some light background music to vibe to.
But instead of smoothly blending into the tracks or doing anything interesting, these collaborators mostly just blend into a disappointingly bland mixture of noise.
Back in April of 2016, when it was first announced that a TV adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale was coming to Hulu, no one had any idea how culturally relevant it would feel after its release.
The titular Spring Fair concert was held at the very august Ram’s Head Live in the Inner Harbor on Friday, April 28. The headliners — and indeed the only performers except for a guy who Ferg brought whose name I didn’t catch — were DJ Steve Aoki and the Hood Pope himself: A$AP Ferg.
My favorite female rapper is Noname. Rap is weird like that, where everyone is forced to have a favorite “descriptor” rapper. There’s the best New York rapper, the best female rapper, the best “mumble” rapper, the best fat rapper (although that seems to have changed after the progression went from the Fat Boys to Biggie to Big Pun to Fat Joe).
The university hosted a screening of HBO’s new film The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks on Monday. The film is based on science reporter Rebecca Skloot’s 2010 book of the same name, which documented the life of a Baltimore woman named Henrietta Lacks who died of cervical cancer in 1951.
13 Reasons Why made history earlier this month when it became the most-talked-about Netflix show on social media in the streaming giant’s history. Of course, Netflix is thrilled, as this seems to be a sign that they have finally captured a demographic that previously proved elusive: those in the tween-to-teen age-range. Needless to say, that group was not exactly primed for Orange is the New Black or House of Cards.
1. Cake smashing
Unafraid to confront complex philosophical themes in music, Father John Misty questions what it means to be human in his latest folk rock album, Pure Comedy. Released on April 7, the album boasts orchestral-sounding tracks that criticize mankind with biting wit.
This has been a fairly light week for new music, so I have decided to turn my eyes back to some classic albums that aren’t talked about as much as they should be. The first on this list is one of my personal favorite albums, Purple Haze, by objectively the most charismatic rapper of all time, Cam’ron.
If the last year has proven anything, it is that podcasts are steadily becoming more and more trendy. In 2016, more Americans than ever listened to podcasts and for good reason.
When Disney announced that Beauty and the Beast would feature their first openly gay character, the response on social media was explosive. Many fans were excited to finally see some diversity in a company that has recently come under fire for exclusionary practices.
DAMN. is a strong album that only suffers because it comes off the heels of a near-perfect album that I believe will come to define the 2010s. The album has verses and production that not only sets it apart from the other rap albums that were released this year but also those released last year.
1. “REDMERCEDES” by Aminé
His 2015 single “Broke Boi” was a definitive track in the canon of what I will optimistically call the Dadaist, anti-lyrical rap trend. It flourished, but it was just a single. The tape we all thought might follow it up never materialized. Instead, Carti just did features, released some loose singles and dressed well for Instagram.
The Baltimore-based band Future Islands kicked off the tour for their new album The Far Field with a release party at the Ottobar on Friday, April 7, followed by an additional three night residency at the venue.
Long-time Freeform (formerly ABC Family) hit Pretty Little Liars (PLL) has finally begun to unveil its endgame in the back half of its seventh and final season. The first of 10 final episodes aired Tuesday, promising viewers an addictive, unpredictable ride, as always.
The last time I saw anything involving live acting was my high school’s production of Little Shop of Horrors, which, if you do not know, has something to do with an anthropomorphic plant that eats people while singing jazzy tunes.
There was excitement in the air at Future Islands’ Friday night show, held at the Ottobar to celebrate the release of their latest album, The Far Field. By inviting Nerftoss and Soul Cannon to open and choosing to play at Ottobar in lieu of a larger venue, Future Islands seemed to be giving back to the Baltimore community, which frontman Samuel T. Herring emphasized has meant a lot to the band.
