Oh my God, it’s almost 2010: Best Comebacks
“I’m rubber and you’re glue…” No, not that kind of comeback (though that is a classic). Every year, singers, actors, movie franchises and companies make big comebacks that shake up the entertainment world. This year saw the return of diva Whitney Houston, the “Star Trek” franchise and “Melrose Place.”
‘One Foot Out the Door’ | Mike Posner
By now you should have heard about Mike Posner, the senior from Duke who is making waves throughout the music industry with his first two mixtapes. If you haven’t, don’t worry; you’re not alone. There are plenty of people who have yet to discover the musical genius of Posner, but that’s what I am here to correct.
‘Where the Wild Things Are’
Adapting book to screen is an extremely difficult task to complete, especially with a beloved children’s book that is only 10 sentences long.

In Defense of ‘NYC Prep’
“NYC Prep”: it’s like “Gossip Girl,” only in real life.

If you read PerezHilton.com, then you have probably heard of the band Gossip, formerly known as “The” Gossip. The band, fronted by singer Beth Ditto, is a favorite of the site’s creator and is therefore frequently featured on the Web site. The band’s new album, “Music for Men,” with its awesome ’80s-tinged music, shows why the band is one of his favorites, though it still has room for improvement.
W.I.L.D. fall 2009 opening act: Interview with Deskhop
As you may have heard, Deskhop will be performing between sets at W.I.L.D. this Saturday. Deskhop mixes together vocal and instrumental clips from a wide variety of songs in unexpected and clever ways. Recently, Student Life had the opportunity to talk to the man behind the mashups and ask him a few questions.
‘The Beautiful Life’
Another one of the CW’s new teen dramas, “The Beautiful Life: TBL,” has premiered, and, as usual, it is wildly entertaining. That said, it is far from perfect.
The Boy Who Knew Too Much | Mika
As expected, Mika’s new album “The Boy Who Knew Too Much” is a smörgåsbord of infectiously catchy pop tunes that will instantly get stuck in your head.
