		<title>John A. Fry Named New President of Drexel University</title>
		<description><![CDATA[President Fry was a prime candidate for the Presidency from the beginning as his name is well known among Drexel administration. This is because President Fry was Drexel's neighbor for 7 years as University of Pennsylvania's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer under President Judith Rodin. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Fry made a name for himself here at Peen and played an integral role in transforming the surrounding neighborhood.]]></description>

		<title>Dr. Dog w/ Kurt Vile at the Rotunda &#8211; March 2nd, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first single of Dr. Dog’s sixth studio album to be released April 6th, “Shadow People”, was also played, setting the crowd absolutely on fire.  “Shadow People” is somewhat like “The Breeze” from the album Fate in that it begins quietly and solely by Scott McMicken, and then grows increasingly louder and more complex with accompaniment of instruments with Toby Leaman and Frank McElroy doing secondary vocals.  These ballads sound like the Beatle’s in their psychedelic stage and were absolutely adored by the fans present.]]></description>

		<title>Man Man w/ Javelin at the Trocadero March 5th, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Honus pounded on his keyboard and the band ripped into the beginning of their crazed series of songs. At one point, Honus came out with a megaphone and a trenchcoat like he had just escaped from a mental institution while at another point he changed into a sequenced green shirt to express his feminine side. Meanwhile, the crowd danced and moshed like they were at some sort of psychotic religious service and there is no doubt in my mind that a majority of the crowd were under the influence of at least one variety of pharmaceuticals.]]></description>

		<title>Alkaline Trio &#8211; This Addiction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday’s This Addiction, the seventh studio album from the trio, finds the band longing to recreate the appealing, straightforward punk rock songs that earned them their fan base in the beginning. The album is following their last two releases, Crimson and Agony &#038; Irony, which were less punk rock sounding and more pop. Although This Addiction is a step forward from the, in my opinion, dull Agony &#038; Irony, it still lacks the magic that the earlier records possessed.]]></description>

		<title>Toro y Moi &#8211; Causers of This</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These bands together comprise the new indie genre phenomenon know as Chillwave. For those of you not familiar with the genre asking "WTF is Chillwave?" -  Wikipedia describes it as being “characterized by heavy use of synthesizers, downtempo disco beats, looping, sampling, and heavily filtered vocals with simple melodic lines.” Honestly, I couldn’t give a much better description myself - the genre uses mainly synthetic instruments and stresses melody and complex arrangements. However, the overall vibe is one of relaxation. Essentially, Chillwave feels like one is sunbathing in the hallucinogenic sun-rays of a star in some distant and deranged galaxy.]]></description>

		<title>Hall of Shame: Steroids in Major League Baseball</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a “tell-all” interview with MLB Network’s Bob Costas, McGwire revealed little to no information about his past use of PEDs, although he did admit to using them. McGwire told Costas: “I wish I had never touched steroids. It was foolish and it was a mistake. I truly apologize. Looking back, I wish I had never played during the steroid era.”  McGwire did, however, provide a timeline for his steroid use. According to McGwire, he began using PEDs during the 1989/1990 offseason as well as off and on throughout the 1990s, including during the 1998 season.]]></description>

		<title>JD Salinger: In Memoriam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For me The Catcher in the Rye is a piece of literature that is both comforting and unsettling. It feels to the reader as though they are not by themselves – Holden represents the countless people in the world who feel as though they are held down or alone. On the other hand, “The Catcher” pinpointed the word I had been looking for at that time in my adolescence to describe the people with which I had made contact. Holden taught me they were phonies. He taught me never to be a phony, but he also taught me that there was nothing I could do about it. No one could ever catch all those kids running through the rye, and so all I could hope to do was to never get too close to that cliff that Holden talked about.]]></description>
