St. Louis Art Museum review
Located in Forest Park, about a 15-minute walk from the center of campus, the St. Louis Art Museum (SLAM) houses strong collections of contemporary art and decorative arts and design.
Stepping Out: Bobo Noodle House
Bobo Noodle House is the perfect solution for the hungry Washington University student who is in the mood for a special meal but not willing to brave the cold for too long.
Game Review: ‘Machinarium’
Indie developer Amanita Design hit the scene in 2003 with the flash game “Samorost.” Never heard of them? Neither had I when I loaded up their latest effort, “Machinarium.” That changed fast though. I spent the next two hours in front of my computer, and I wasn’t alone.
New iPod nano: simply awesome or just too much?
Holy mother of God. By that, I mean to say that the new iPod Nano is a ridiculous piece of equipment.
Winslow’s Home
A warmth entered my heart as I stepped into Winslow’s Home, a little restaurant and store located just west of the Delmar Loop. The aura of the place is a mix between home away from home and small-town convenience store.
Album Review: ‘Break Up’ | Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson
Acoustic singer-songwriter Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson claim that their new album “Break Up” is “a valentine” for Gainsbourg and Bardot’s sexy French-pop album, but they come off as a bad imitation of M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel’s phenomenal “Volume One,” released last year.
Album Review: ‘Breathing Underwater’ | Marié Digby
Two years ago, singer-songwriter Marié Digby posted a video of herself singing an acoustic cover of Rihanna’s No. 1 hit “Umbrella,” which catapulted her into YouTube stardom. Now signed to Hollywood Records, Digby is releasing her second album, “Breathing Underwater.”
Taking Woodstock
“Go see what the center of the universe looks like,” one character says to another in Ang Lee’s “Taking Woodstock.” And the film is just that, a look into the center of American culture in 1969. But “Taking Woodstock” does not solely focus on the festival itself, as Michael Wadleigh’s documentary “Woodstock” does. Instead, more attention is given to the lead-up to the festival and the true story of the family who brought it to Bethel, N.Y.
Wounded Bird: Revamped Vintage
Winding through downtown St. Louis, I had no idea what I could expect when I first made that left turn onto Cherokee Street. Set in a quiet residential area just southeast of St. Louis University, the street is home to several trendy boutiques offering everything from party planning services to home decorating.
Secret Machines | The Secret Machines
The Secret Machines released their third album with the desire to revolutionize rock with their fresh, psychedelic tunes and non-conformist attitude. One problem: only half of the revolution succeeds.
