Ah, spring is in the air in State College. That means you'll probably be breaking out the spring playlists to relax outside to. But it's nice to add a few tunes to the list of spring hits each year, and we're here to help. Here are some new jams to add to your list, as well as a few older ones you might not have considered before. This week's selections are brought to you by Matthew D'Ippolito (who's in here twice), Alex Robinson, Sam Cooper, David Morar and Dan Vecellio.
A lot has happened since their graduation in 1999, and it's now time for the first East Great Falls High School Class of '99 reunion. Rumors have been spreading about the production of "American Reunion" for years, and now it's finally here. The movie is set to make a full release on April 6th, but if you can't wait that long, the State Theatre will be hosting an advance screening of the film this Tuesday, March 20th, at 8:00 p.m.

Even though he spoke to a crowd of Penn State students and faculty last night, "Gasand" director Josh Fox said that he doesn’t “have great news in terms of how Penn State is handling the [fracking] situation.” The Milanville native told the audience how natural gas companies came to his small town with “an offer that was too good to be true.”
In many ways, the Sherlock Holmes movies aim for the same spirit as the Indiana Jones movies. Both feature intellectual heroes with a drive for adventure, puzzle-solving based on hidden clues, fast-paced action, and witty banter. The second Sherlock Holmes movie, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, combines the action of The Adventures of Tintin (a true successor to Indiana Jones itself) with the twisting mysteries of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (which will play at the HUB in April) . Though it may not reach the heights of either of those two movies, it’s still a fun adventure to take in, and you can see it this weekend at the HUB.
Do you miss Chronic Town concerts? Are you ready to welcome the warm weather of spring by jamming out? Do you feel like you need to get your weird indie fix?
