When Time magazine recently named “You” — the blogging, YouTube-ing public — as its 2006 Person of the Year, it helped ring the death knell for articles that regard blogs as a fad or a novelty. Blogs are here to stay, as are their persistent, sometimes annoying contributions to current events. They give voices to any who want them, even if you don’t want to hear them, and ring through the internet like prophetic — or narcissistic — voices, crying out in the wilderness of society.

When the campus is already littered with countless copies of journals and newspapers capturing the pulse of student political thought, humour and artwork, it might seemsurprising that many students still feel the need to blog or post articles online.

It’s finally springtime. This week, throngs of students charged through the fresh mud, barely managing to balance their bundles of clothes, care packages and the occasional bottle of liquor swiped from Mommy and Daddy’s cabinet, to return to their homes away from home in our tiny corner of New Hampshire. Amidst the masses, there can be spotted a number of students whose marked difference from their classmates is immediately evident. I refer not to the seven people at Dartmouth who are really, really, ridiculously good looking, (nor to the 3,000 who think they are really, really, ridiculously good looking) but rather to those who have returned sporting brand new suntans. And we can safely assume that these lucky students owe their glowing complexions (or semi-permanent epidermal blisterings) to a spring break trip.

Spending spring break here in beautiful Hanover has inspired me to be more positive in my discussions on music, and not rely on tearing down various easy targets. This is of course bound to happen when you’re walking through two feet of snow during “spring.” So, in the spirit of being positive, I’m presenting a series of suggestions naming artists you should explore this spring.
