U2 releases special edition Notre Dame ‘Songs of Surrender’ vinyl

·

On Saint Patrick’s Day this year, the Irish rock band U2 released their new album, “Songs of Surrender,” on a limited edition Notre Dame-inspired vinyl. While the tracks on the record themselves are an exciting showcase of the band’s range and timeless quality, the “Notre Dame-ness” of the graphics on the product itself leaves something to be desired.

Folk Choir depicts Christ’s Passion for a second year

·

On the evening of Good Friday, the Notre Dame Folk Choir presented their much-anticipated work, “The Passion,” under a clear, starry sky on South Quad. I attended last year’s debut of “The Passion” and was markedly impressed, so naturally, I was excited to experience it again. This production managed to exceed any and all expectations. Although I witnessed the wonderful birth of “The Passion” last Easter, I must confess, this year’s performance was personally transformative.

Yes, ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ is good

·

For most of my viewing of “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” I was in awe at its very existence.  I grew up playing almost exclusively Pokemon and Mario games, and even today the Mario series never ceases to delight me. To see the world that so captivated me as a child rendered with the level of care and detail in this movie was honestly exhilarating for me. And yes, though the movie has its faults, it is genuinely good.
