Artist of the Month: Ra Ra Riot
Posted by The Voice Staff on November 17, 2011 at 5:35 pm
Late last month, The Voice hosted Ra Ra Riot, an indie rock band from Syracuse, NY, at a private event where they were presented with our inaugural “Artist of the Month“ award.
Formed in 2006, the band’s second and latest album, titled “The Orchard,” was released last August, featuring a collaboration from Death Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla and Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij. In January of this year, the band was nominated for The 10th Annual Independent Music Awards under the Pop/Rock Album category.

Selected tweets from #occupyharvard:
grateful for #occupyharvard today. Supporting the occupants in thought, word, and deed.
Harvard is still on lockdown. Told by a guard it’s until protests end. No tourists, no Cantabrigians. #OccupyHarvard
The #OccupyHarvard movement has begun! Will you stand with the Will Huntings against the Zuckerbergs? #WeKnowNothingAboutHarvard
Douchebag alert!!! Harvard student yelling on bullhorn out dorm window: “1%! 1%! Thank you Cambridge Police” ew #OccupyHarvard

Gates to Harvard Yard were locked last night as Occupy protesters erected tents in the heart of campus. (Photo credit: dailycontributor.com.)
“education is a right, not just for the rich and white” #occupyharvard #occupyboston
RT @TheAtlanticWire: Harvard keeps #OccupyHarvard for Harvard students only http://theatln.tc/sM5znI
Though in other ways we may strive to be in a top 1% (of test scores, grades, our fields, etc.) we stand as part of the 99% #occupyharvard
“We must occupy again because Harvard employs the very people who were responsible for the economic meltdown” #occupyharvard
It’s raining, we’re super busy, and supplies are low. We hope #occupyharvard is doing alright. Solidarity.
WE ARE THE FUTURE 1%! #OccupyHarvard
This is great: Harvard Divinity students forming a human shield around Harvard Yard occupiers. #OccupyHarvard

A Guide to BS-ing
Posted by The Voice Staff on October 19, 2011 at 8:20 pm
Also known as, the BEST HarvardFML comment in a while, by Surly:
“Don’t worry, you’ll learn. Some handy bullshitting techniques include:
1. Every male character is gay. If he has positive social interactions with another male character, it’s because he’s attracted to him. If he has negative social interactions with another male character, it’s because he’s repulsed by his own attraction.
2. Everything is about the author’s childhood. Go on Wikipedia and look up the names of the author’s parents, town and street where he grew up, etc. Every time you see a word that’s associated with one of those things, or a synonym for one of those words, it’s about how the author felt about that thing from his childhood.
3. If it was written after 1940, every negative character is a metaphor for Hitler.
4. If it was written after 1918, every unpleasant situation is a metaphor for trench warfare.
5. If it was written in the 1800s, replace Hitler with Napoleon and trench warfare with the French Revolution.
6. Every character is mentally ill. If you’ve taken psych, great! If not, babble about the collective unconscious and transference until the TF starts to look uneasy.
7. Every character with a negative attitude towards anything is a hypocrite. No exceptions. Your proof that the character is a hypocrite does not have to make sense.
8. If you accidentally propose something chronologically and geographically ridiculous, such as that Machiavelli wrote The Prince as satire to critique the excesses of the Meiji Restoration, double down. It just proves how prescient the author was.”
