Scene-ior Selections 2021

Dessi Gomez, Maeve Filbin, Colleen Fischer, Mariah Rush, Claire Rafford and Ryan Israel | Monday, May 10, 2021

It’s not a goodbye — it’s a see you later. Here, our Senior Scene Writers reflect on their time at Scene, The Observer and the tri-campus community the only way they know how: music. If emojis were allowed in AP style, we’d add this one. Or this one. But we can’t, so just know: We

Editor’s notes: HBO’s ‘Industry’ is hot

Ryan Israel | Friday, February 5, 2021

When I love something, I write about it — not quite love letters, but tributes. I love when celebrities can be connected to Notre Dame, so I draw the dots — and then connect them — between Taylor Swift and the Golden Dome. Or, I obsess over Leonardo DiCaprio wearing a hat. There are a

Thank you for sharing your Spotify Wrapped

Colleen Fischer | Friday, December 4, 2020

The first thing I realized when I watched my first Bob Dylan interview was that he talked like my uncle who grew up in the ’60s and ’70s. Their Midwestern accents were paired with a syncopated rhythm and constant mystery that had me hanging on every word. I’ve noticed similarities between people I know and

Scene selections: surveillance listening

Willoughby Thom, Ryan Israel, Claire Rafford, Colleen Fischer and Nia Sylva | Wednesday, September 2, 2020

“Harmony Hall” by Vampire Weekend Ryan Israel, Scene Editor The lyrics to Vampire Weekend’s “Harmony Hall,” the first single off of Scene’s favorite album of 2019 “Father of the Bride,” are eerily applicable to the present moment. With some slight tweaks, “We took a vow in summertime / Now we find ourselves in late December”

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. It is worth mentioning off the bat the different types of bootleg merch. There is bootleg merch where the

Commencement 2020: Four years in review

Ryan Israel and Mike Donovan | Friday, May 15, 2020

It’s time to turn the clock back to what, in retrospect, seems like a simpler time: late summer 2016. The class of 2020 first arrived on campus via an “Ultralight Beam,” looking forward to four years of academic and faith “Formation” and dreaming of staying up “All Night” with friends. Not yet “Destroyed by Hippie Powers,”

Ryan Israel, Charlie Kenney, Matthew Kellenberg, Dessi Gomez, Hanna Kennedy, Jake Winningham, Ethan Utley, Mike Donovan, Sarah Kikel, Elizabeth Gregory, Willoughby Thom and Sara Schlecht | Thursday, December 12, 2019

It’s the grand finale: Scene’s official list of the top 20 albums of the year. Our writers have spent 2019 listening to countless hours of music, as our Spotify Wrappeds can confirm, and have taken this time before finals begin to reflect on the year in music by ranking our top albums. Each writer’s rankings

Who is Clairo?

Matthew Kellenberg | Monday, September 2, 2019

To some, Clairo is the lip-syncing teen in that viral “Pretty Girl” video, a serendipitous beneficiary of the mysterious YouTube algorithm. To others, she is a music industry plant, a young woman whose father’s connections paved the way for her swift rise. But through a string of dazzling hits, Claire Cottrill has proven herself to

Scene Selections: Songs to survive the polar vortex

Mike Donovan, Dessi Gomez, Nora McGreevy, Ryan Israel and Ethan Utley | Tuesday, January 29, 2019

Forecasts are bleak. School is canceled. The Office of Campus Safety recently outlined survival instructions for the week: walk in groups, dress warmly and appropriately, stay dry — basically, avoid being outside at all costs. While you’re huddled indoors, fending off frostbite and eating your way through your stores of week-old Poptarts and canned soups, Scene

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.
