February 09, 2012 | Georgie Morvis

The 54th Grammy Awards air this Sunday on CBS at 7 p.m. CST. Here are my views on who should and will win some of the major awards. (I wanted to cover them all, but really, who cares about Best Americana or Best Tropical Latin Albums?)

2012: the year of M.I.A.

February 06, 2012 | Georgie Morvis

Madonna. Lady Gaga. Usher. Lil Wayne. Dr. Dre. All of these artists are releasing new albums in 2012, but I believe that the year will truly belong to M.I.A. The British rapper, best known for her hit “Paper Planes,” has been off the radar for a while, but coming off a performance at the Super Bowl and with a new album on the way, she’ll be on everyone’s minds.

‘Born to Die’ | Lana Del Rey

February 02, 2012 | Georgie Morvis

Many reviews of Lana Del Rey’s “Born to Die” have been released already, and they seem to focus on whether or not she’s a true indie songstress or a just label-created pop product. I, however, think she can be a fusion of the two, as not all pop has to be dance-y Britney beats and ballads. Lana Del Rey’s brand of pop instead recalls earlier times.

It was the worst performance in history of SNL, they claimed. Some have even suggested that her career is over before it even began.

A W.I.L.D. wishlist

January 26, 2012 | Georgie Morvis

At the beginning of pretty much every semester, students begin speculating on who will be the esteemed performers at W.I.L.D. Cadenza, too, is apt to enter the discussion, so we created a list of artists we would love and not-so-love to see.

We like to party

January 26, 2012 | Georgie Morvis

Winter is truly here. The sidewalks and stairs are starting to become icy at night. Fraternity rush will keep those meccas of partying closed until after bids.
