In memoriam: Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins

Meg Sluzas | Wednesday, March 30, 2022

Last Saturday morning, when I opened my Instagram and started routinely exploring my feed, I abruptly stopped scrolling. My brain registered “Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins dies at 50.” Immediately, I checked Rolling Stone and the Foo Fighters Instagram to confirm that the information I read was not fake news. Both pages had posted tributes

‘Honey I Sure Miss You’ pays tribute to Daniel Johnston

Colleen Fischer | Friday, September 18, 2020

Nirvana’s appearance at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards was iconic for many reasons — Krist Novoselic tossing his bass on his face, Dave Grohl taunting Axl Rose and Kurt Cobain wearing a “Hi, how are you?” shirt. That last part may seem less important or relevant, but it gave Daniel Johnston the exposure he

Creativity vs. capital: What about bootlegs?

Colleen Fischer | Monday, August 17, 2020

As websites like Etsy and Redbubble have emerged as places to sell artwork, they have also brought up questions about the role that merchandise and — more specifically — “bootleg” merchandise plays in the music industry.

Flashes in the Pan: Felix, Josh, Thom and the band with no name (yet)

Ryan Israel | Friday, October 4, 2019

Editor’s Note: This is the third part in a series featuring local artists in the tri-campus community. Thomas Weiss, known more commonly as Thom, sits under the 9th station of the cross, the one where Jesus fell for the third time, and plays the drums. He’s joined here in the Keenan-Stanford chapel — or the

Music sucks!

Willoughby Thom | Thursday, October 3, 2019

There is perfection in chaos, but there is no such thing as pure perfection. Chaos is natural, but as a society, we are constantly trying to achieve an ideal perception of perfection in a world of self. That is unrealistic. We are trapped in the ether of the scroll — a digital panopticon, so to

Brian Boylen, Adam Ramos, Ryan Israel, Megan Valley and Molly Chen | Wednesday, January 31, 2018

There are many song mashups littered around sites such as YouTube, Soundcloud and Reddit — some good, some … not so much. Scene chose some of our favorites so you don’t have to sift through the mud to find the gems.   “Touch the Sky // Soul Meets Body” – Death Cab for Yeezy Mashup

Done, done, on to the next one: the evolution of Foo Fighters

Carlos De Loera | Wednesday, September 27, 2017

  In 2011, the Foo Fighters released their magnum opus, “Wasting Light.” Every song on that album is a jam. For my money, it’s the best album to come out in the last 10 years (sorry Kung-Fu Kenny and Yeezy), a refreshing taste of actual rock album in the midst of the watered down alt-rock and

  On Sept. 24, 1991, three rambunctious losers from Seattle released an aggressive grunge album that would go on to replace Michael Jackson’s “Dangerous” as the No. 1 record in America — thereby radically altering the trajectory of popular music forever.
