Kitchen 101: Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

By Jerome Stuart Nichols · Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2012

Yes, I’m aware that we just did Reese’s Peanut Butter Puff Daddy Muffins a few weeks back. But these are delicious, so get over it. I got the idea for these diet murdering bastards from Echo comics editor, Christine “Crass” Deneweth.

By Matt Rice · Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2012

In the ‘90s, the music world evolved. Indie and alternative were becoming more mainstream, and feminism was making its way into rock ‘n’ roll.

Caffeine Chronicles #7: Health benefits of coffee

By Jess Salisbury · Sunday, Oct. 14, 2012

Like it or not, America’s coffee culture is here to stay. Some naysayers blame coffee and its caffeinated cousins like tea for many of our generation’s woes, such as anxiety and obesity, but it’s important to look at both sides of the cup, if you will.

EMU wind symphony to host concert Sunday

By Cosette Girardot · Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2012

Can they sing with all the voices of the mountain, or paint with all the colors of the wind? Well, no, Eastern Michigan University’s Music and Dance Department does not have the ability to mimic Disney’s “Pocahontas.” But EMU’s Wind Symphony can create music using only wind instruments and a piano, and they will be doing so Oct. 14 at 4 p.m. in Pease Auditorium.

Staff music picks: October

By Sammy DeMarco , Bryan Alfaro and Christine Deneweth · Sunday, Oct. 7, 2012

“While it’s not new, the 2009 ‘BlakRoc’ album by The Black Keys is still on my iPhone playlists and has one of the highest play counts of any album I own (and I have over 20,000 songs in my music library). Hip-hop producer Damon Dash, cofounder of Roc-A-Fella Records, initiated the recording project because he wanted to work with The Keys, so he brought hip-hop artist Jim Jones into the studio to record with them.

Caffeine Chronicles #6: Convenience store caffeine

By Jess Salisbury · Sunday, Oct. 7, 2012

Sometimes you just don’t want to venture into a coffee shop to get your caffeine fix. Maybe you want to cut down on those tempting $5 lattes. Maybe you don’t want to have to wait in line. Maybe you have an irrational fear of baristas. Either way, you are absolutely not going into that coffee shop and that is final, but you still want a coffee. See the dilemma?

Matt on Music: The xx

By Matt Rice · Sunday, Oct. 7, 2012

It was 2009, and music critics were doing what music critics do—hyping Animal Collective’s “Merriweather Post Pavilian” as the best album of the year before the year was even halfway through, overrating Grizzly Bear and ignoring Wussy for the third album in a row. It was a typical year. Then, a British band came out of nowhere and took the music world by storm. They were The xx.
