Matt on Music: 10 greatest artists (whose greatest hits suck)

By Matt Rice · Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013

While researching this list, I had a stunning realization: The music-buying public is not stupid. This was a hard list to research, mainly for that reason. When an artist stops being good, they typically stop having hits. This list, however, is about the flukes—the strange instances where an exceptional artist’s biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 was one of their worst songs. These are the 10 greatest artists (whose greatest hits suck).

Bettie Serveert’s new album, ‘Oh, Mayhem!’ is the group’s first complete success.

Matt on Music: Bettie Serveert's 'Oh, Mayhem!'

By Matt Rice · Sunday, Feb. 24, 2013

It’s interesting to look into what happened to all of the ’90s indie bands after the ’90s ended. Pavement broke up, of course, while Modest Mouse’s success continued to grow. A lot of them lost much of their popularity, but how their later discography held up varies from band to band. R.E.M.’s later music never held a candle to their older stuff, while The Magnetic Fields released many great albums after their 1999 classic “69 Love Songs.”

For an unapologetic girly-girl like myself, I look forward to the gorgeous couture gowns at the Oscars. But afterward, I can’t help but feel a little blah for the average person. Occasions to wear something beautiful and glamorous may not come often, but luckily you don’t have to be Jennifer Lawrence or Emma Stone to wear an amazing one-of-a-kind accessory.

Stay safe during break: Ask questions, watch friends

By Cosette Girardot · Sunday, Feb. 24, 2013

Winter break is commonly known as spring break, unless you’re stuck in Michigan freezing your butt off.

Grindhouse Review: 'The Wraith'

By Michael G. Petersen · Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2013

From the outskirts of space and time comes an unknown force that’s created from light and dark. Its motive is simple, its form is unknown and its driving force is fear. It’s the Wraith—a phantom brought back to regain what was taken from him in his previous life.
