London: a playlist

Willoughby Thom | Monday, April 4, 2022

Long time no see! The time has come to grace Viewpoint with a very Scene-esque Inside Column! In accordance with my last Viewpoint pieces — “Video didn’t kill the radio star” (2020) and “Public service announcement: revive the music scene” (2021) — music is at the forefront. Over the past few months, I have become an

Ryan Israel | Friday, February 28, 2020

UK artist Octavian creates hybrid hip hop on ‘SPACEMAN’ EP

Ryan Israel | Wednesday, September 19, 2018

When Drake talks, people listen. It’s one of the many benefits of being the most popular artist in a generation equipped with the internet and social media. For example, in 2011, when Drake featured a relatively unknown Canadian R&B artist on his album “Take Care,” people took notice, and now The Weeknd has become a

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.
