Matt On Music: Shakira and Kylie Minogue
Here are two pop albums. Shakira’s self-titled album, which shows her dominating at ballads, and Kylie Minogue’s “Kiss Me Once,” a mostly dull dance-pop album.

Kapow! Comics Exhibit at Eastern Michigan University’s Student Center is back for another round, and this time is even better than the last. This gallery of student work has been occurring every few years since 2001, and each time churns out more talent than the previous exhibition.
It seems like women are constantly told to watch out for rapists who are mysterious dark figures in the shadows with trench coats on, but there are other less obvious ways one can be sexually assaulted.
Edwards is Board Chair of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Metro Detroit/Ann Arbor Chapter. He was invited by the Student Chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management of EMU.
I’ve been thinking about chocolate mousse for a while. It’s so classically elegant, and looks gorgeous when it is served in a goblet or glass dish. Not only does it look good, but the smooth chocolate taste is wonderful. I thought it might be about time to try it myself, rather than looking at dessert menus at restaurants.
On Wednesday, April 2, the Student Center Auditorium will be filled with song and dance honoring the king of pop himself, Michael Jackson. Two timeslots are being offered for the show, 5:30-7 p.m. and 8-9:30 p.m., to assure enough seating for everyone who wishes to attend.
After falling short in October, another attempt to set the Guinness World Record for the most Rosie the Riveters gathered in one location was held on Saturday. This time, the record was successfully broken.
I like to think that pie holds a special spot in every American heart. It’s strewn about our popular ideas of American history, from Thanksgiving tables to “Little House on the Prairie” scenes. We reach for disposable pie tins and prepared piecrusts in the grocery store, but pies baked like that are a far cry from pies baked a hundred years ago.
It seems as if the program was a huge success, even as the early hours of the morning grew nearer.
Most of the common hobbies today—sewing, crocheting, candlemaking, etc—have been around as long as people have needed things like clothes and candles. While these are fun and useful, they’re not particularly groundbreaking. With this being the generation of internet sharing, a few cool and unusual twists on everyday crafts have come into being.
It’s an indie-rock day. Tokyo Police Club generally produces a few gems per album, but they aren’t hugely consistent. Still, the gems they write hit harder than you would expect. Foster the People can write decent tunes when they feel like it, but their lyrics too often bring front man Mark Foster’s pretentions front and center.
The scientific and artistic prowess of Eastern Michigan University students is often underestimated. Thursday night’s “Crossing Lines” Design Expo, part of the 2014 Undergraduate Symposium, proved EMU students have some serious creative skills. The design expo featured a plethora of works, which showcased EMU students’ innovative and entrepreneurial spirit.
On Monday, March 24, an event called “Clara Barton and Susie King Taylor: Pioneering Nurses on the Civil War Battlefield” was held in room 219 at Pray-Harrold. Laura Schultz Pipis, chief executive officer of the Monroe County Chapter of the Red Cross, gave a speech about two woman nurses during the Civil War, Clara Barton and Susie King Taylor.
Singer-songwriter Dan Willson (stage name Withered Hand) and The Hold Steady are similar in quite a few ways. Willson was raised a Jehovah’s Witness while The Hold Steady’s Craig Finn was raised Catholic and in both cases, spirituality and religion are recurring themes in their lyrics. They also write catchy tunes, complete with “oh”s and “la”s, to go along with their masterful lyricism.
On March 24, Eastern Michigan University’s performing arts organization I.M.A.G.E. (Inspired Motivational Activists Geared Toward Education) hosted their second annual Dine to Donate at Aubree’s Pizzeria and Grill in Ypsilanti.
Selfishness is the factor that sets the timer to a huge bomb in an intimate relationship. Someone cheating on their significant other can bring a tremendous amount of intensity and distrust into a relationship.
Being a college student with a passion for fashion and an unfortunately low budget, I don’t always have the money to splurge on designer clothes. Plus, I’m admittedly a little cheap. So over the years, I’ve found ways to find really cute and trendy clothes at bargain prices.
With the breezes starting to blow a little warmer, heavy sweaters and foot-encasing boots are starting to be relinquished, revealing dry, winter-damaged skin. While there are lots of products out there at various price points to remedy flaking, parched skin, making your own is simple and has many added benefits.
As the Buzzcocks once sang, noise annoys. When it’s good, it annoys in a beautifully powerful way, one that you can latch onto regardless of whether you’re sad, angry or joyful. When it’s bad, noise just annoys. But it still gets an 8.6 from Pitchfork.
On Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., I Am P.I.N.K. is hosting their third annual “Glitz and Glam Prom Affair” at the Wayne State University Student Center in Detroit.
