22. ‘Cave World’ by Viagra Boys “Cave World” is the third LP of punk rock band Viagra Boys, and it expands upon what made their previous records so great. The album is absolutely soaked in meta-irony and absurdist humor. Viagra Boys are simultaneously drawn to and repelled by the eclectic world of conspiracy theories, incels

Farewell to Trader Joe’s Takis

Willoughby Thom | Wednesday, November 30, 2022

Why are Trader Joe’s Rolled Corn Torilla Chips (aka Takis) so good? This is a legitimate question. There is no other snack on the market that I get genuinely disappointed when there are not in stock. I am not a big fan of traditional Takis, but, for some reason, the Trader Joe’s chips are gold.

Bono’s moments of surrender

“I was born with an eccentric heart.” Growing up, I listened to a lot of music, and U2 was always on repeat. My father is one of the biggest U2 fans you will ever meet. In addition to collecting their records, watching their concert films and learning all about their history, my father has seen

Danny Elfman lives forever

Willoughby Thom | Monday, October 31, 2022

“I’m so happy, happy.”  There is no better way to describe Danny Elfman’s Halloween show at the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday, Oct. 29 other than surreal. From the moment Elfman took the stage, I felt like I was in a dream. I have been an Oingo Boingo fan my entire life — if you didn’t

Let’s go to a concert

Willoughby Thom | Tuesday, October 4, 2022

Concerts not only make life better but did you know that they also help you live longer? Now, before you roll your eyes and sarcastically express your surprise, you must listen to my reasoning. It is no surprise that concerts make life better, as they are the essence of fun, but there is scientific evidence

Fifteen seconds for fame

Willoughby Thom | Friday, September 23, 2022

Music has become disposable. One day, you hear a new hit song, and then, a month later, it has vanished off the face of the earth. While this is not an entirely new phenomenon, the world of music has shifted greatly over the last decade. Instead of relying on record sales, downloads or touring to

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.

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.
