We’ve all been there. Trapped by social convention, you stare desperately at the floor or the walls. If you speak up, the conversation will quickly fall dead and leave you with at least four more floors of mind–numbing discomfort. The elevator is nothing less than the physical epitome of a misanthropic, socially awkward culture. So, what songs describe your various Penn elevator experiences?
In the season premiere of “Castle,” Stana Katic reminded us exactly how much of a badass Kate Beckett really is, as we watched her attempt to solve the mystery of the Castle’s disappearance. (Aired on 09.29.2014)
Mindy meets Danny's mom, Morgan pees sitting down, Peter is still sad about Jeremy and his girlfriend, and Jeremy is nowhere to be found. (Aired on 9.23.2014)
Two
years after “An Awesome Wave,” alt-J have returned with their sophomore album,
a slightly disjointed compilation of beautiful, experimental tracks.
In honor of our weed feature this week, we here at Music wanted to give you an appropriate soundtrack. Featuring some of this week's new releases (alt-J, Silva, Groundislava) and some other mellow, cloud–surfing jams, this playlist has the power to form a drum circle at the biopond by itself.
Groundislava’s
third album, “Frozen Throne”, attempts to drag you into a magical cyber world.
With songs like “The Descent”, “October Acid” and “A Way Out”, one feels trapped
inside an old childhood video game.
