BØRNS plays to his strengths on ‘Blue Madonna’

Grace Weissend | Tuesday, January 23, 2018

On Garrett Borns’ sophomore album as BØRNS, the indie pop artist sticks to what he knows. “Blue Madonna” is 12 tracks of airy, danceable, lustful pop music, and it’s exactly what one would expect from a BØRNS album in the best way. “Faded Heart” was the first bit of “Blue Madonna” to hit the airwaves

Robbie skates through a troubled life in ‘I, Tonya’

Grace Weissend | Friday, January 19, 2018

Tonya Harding is ready to tell the world how it all really went down. “I, Tonya” tells the true-life story of the former U.S. Olympic figure skater, culminating in the infamous Nancy Kerrigan knee-smashing incident. Based on real interviews with Tonya, her mother (Allison Janney), her ex-husband (a devastatingly likable Sebastian Stan) and her former bodyguard

Impressive Rembrandt exhibit inspires quiet contemplation

Grace Weissend | Monday, October 2, 2017

To commemorate the 175th anniversary of the University’s founding, the Snite Museum of Art is displaying their extensive collection of original Rembrandt etchings.

The Feddersens officially donated the

Fergie reclaims her pop throne on ‘Double Dutchess’

Grace Weissend | Monday, September 25, 2017

If you were suspicious of Fergie’s ability to deliver another high-quality pop album, your thinking was fictitious. Fergie certainly understood the pressure that comes with a ten-year break between albums, but rather than pushing too hard to impress or to prove her staying power, the Dutchess delivers an updated and innovative album for the Girlboss

Angus & Julia Stone repeat and clash on “Snow”

Grace Weissend | Thursday, September 21, 2017

If Angus & Julia Stone released anything on their new album “Snow,” it was an identity crisis. The newly released album, from the Australian sibling duo that created a lasting hit with their 2010 track “Big Jet Plane,” has significantly less bright spots and “hits” than it was expected to have. The album cover is

The Script deals in disappointing cliche on ‘Freedom Child’

Grace Weissend | Tuesday, September 5, 2017

From the album art to the tracks themselves, The Script is simply trying too hard on their latest effort. The Irish band’s fifth studio album, “Freedom Child,” is ridden with cliches, piano overlays and intense drumming. The fourteen tracks feel almost never ending due to the lack of differentiation among them. Past The Script albums have

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
