It is tradition that during every year's Homecoming Parade, the THON Overall Committee reveals the year's theme (just as the Homecoming theme is revealed every year during THON Weekend). That day has finally come, and so without further ado, I present the THON 2012 theme:
America’s top Pink Floyd cover band, The Machine, will be playing at the State Theatre tonight at 8 p.m. The Machine, which has been touring since 1988, has been complimented by magazines like Spin, which gave the ultimate compliment a cover band can receive--saying The Machine “sounds exactly like Pink Floyd.” The performance will consist of incredible lights and effects as well as the great music of Pink Floyd. Tickets are still on sale at the State Theatre ranging from $29-$39.
Like the roller coaster concoction, Four Loko, a mixture of spastic lo-fi and coffeehouse acoustic filled the dungeon-esque walls of Chronic Town last night. Buzz-band, Emperor X, and ambient singer-songwriter, Annalisa Barron, took to the stage for a show tri-sponsored by the Lion 90.7 FM, Roustabout! and Students Organizing the Multiple Arts.
Beaver Stadium on a football weekend: the sun is shining (hopefully), the Blue Band is playing (#7to1), and you're being herded like sheep into rows by a shepherd in a red vest, better known as the Beaver Stadium ushers.
Need some fresh music for homecoming weekend? Crystal Seth can help. The PSU junior dropped his new mix tape "Left on Freeport" today. Check out the interview and follow the links to download this talented artist's new music.
...The immortal custom of not being sober is celebrated among the masses, and both undergrads and alumni alike can be found throwing up together in cadence on Beaver Avenue--a spectacle to behold, which reflects the true intrinsic meaning of searching for our roots. But what is Homecoming to us? What does this event, which has been happening since 1920, mean?
