St. Joe’s Students Have Horrible Taste In Music

I’m on the mailing list for The Hawk, the official student newspaper of the St. Joe’s. I can’t really remember anything the paper has done since calling Cardinal Rigali gay in last year’s joke issue, but it turns out the paper has a horrible taste in music. Just look!

Yes, that’s Coldplay, leading The Hawk’s albums of the year section. It’s apparently just a random assortment of staff picks, which is why one of the albums of the year is also the Jonas Brothers. I’ll admit I’m not much of a music fan; I believe I broke my girlfriend’s ears with my constant playing of the 10-disc NFL Films soundtrack. Brian is definitely the one who should be tackling this. But whatever, I particularly liked the first sentence to the review of the Seasick Steve album, which is a person and/or band I believe was made up, and I wanted to note it:

In a world full of cute Stevie Ray Vaughn impersonators, Seasick Steve is a return to the gritty roadhouse sound of John Lee Hooker and Hound Dog Taylor.

Dan Gross: Of Porn Shock and Jonas Brothers

The God of news has smiled greatly upon me during the days in which I guest edit this blog. Yesterday, the Metro made my life easy by running an abstract drawing of an elderly woman telling us about sex. Today, Dan Gross’ column contains this headline:

Main Liners get a porn shock

It pertains to Main Line Today telling its readers that a porn website was a great place to get table settings. What a scoop!

Buried three items in (and underneath the one about Ukee Washington taking an afternoon nap) Gross mentions that the Jonas Brothers–three unfortunate-yet-undeniable big stars–will be in town. Philadelphia only gets like four celebrities a year, and Gross is more concerned with “porn shock,” which sounds like a horrible, horrible disease.
