For this series, The Voice has identified five interesting freshies that might be worthy to take note of. Let’s start with…

1. The (In)Famous Pole Dancer

Have not we all met Katalicious from our premature, over-excited Facebook correspondences? She has successfully established her Facebook persona into a sort of Harvard online “hooker” brand, shocking the more conservative peers while earning respect from even the raunchiest upperclassmen with delightful innuendos such as “High school is like a dick : long and hard. Unless you’re Asian.” Sometimes they are outright suggestive like “I cannot fucking wait for Inside Out to hit radios. That song is so orgasmic and it turns me on every time and I will grind the fuck out of any nearby person/object.” Or perhaps shorter and classier pieces like “I love your cock because it sticks up for me.”

If those saucy statements alone did not catch your attention, her barrage of half-naked pictures will. Be it performing an impressive feat in her pole-dancing classes, doing her CS50 homework, or simply hanging around the yard, there will always be cleavages, or abs or asses and legs to show. That girl who is always in bikini-like attire every single time you spot her (even when it’s 40 degree outside)? Yep, that’s her.

But not everyone has met Katherine Ji Zhou, the real, breathing, human being behind this social-network sensation. Surprisingly normal and decent (bordering to somewhat shy, even!), she greeted me in (surprise, surprise) hot pants and sports bra. Kat was all smiles and willing answers, with not a single hint of stereotypical bitchiness. Here are some Q&As :

Why do you brand yourself as Katalicious Def (GET NAKED BITCH) ?

“Oh, I have the typical Asian Tiger parents, and they banned me from using Facebook in high school, so they kept searching for Facebook names I might come up with. I created this name so they wouldn’t locate me.The “(GET NAKED BITCH)” part was more of an experiment to see if I could get swear words and all-caps through Facebook’s filters.

“I’m pretty much a nerd. Seriously. I’m really huge into computer games and Pokemon. In fact, my application essay was about Pokemon. I’m also a slacker who enjoys just staying indoor and doing my own stuff – like pole dancing, programming, and graphic designing – and that’s why I don’t join any club. I’m trying to start up a pole dancing club though, feel free to join!”

Have you always been so open about your sexuality? Our sources told us that you had been pretty reserved in high school. Is this some kind of a Facebook publicity stunt?

“Hmm not really. I’ve always been this outspoken with my close friends. I’m rather shy around new people, and being raised under strict Asian parents definitely did not give me any opportunity to express my wilder side (except on Facebook!) But with the start of college I think it’s about time for me to let it all out.”

What’s with the bikinis?

“Well I find them comfortable to wear. I’m in good shape. I feel completely confident and secure about my body image, (and is it that cold?) so why not? “

Fair enough. Lastly, aren’t you afraid of peer judgment and nay-sayers? People have been calling you names, from attention seeker to Asian whore/slut/bitch.

“Nah, I don’t care. I don’t know these people, and probably never will throughout my four years in Harvard. I’m just saying what I think, wearing what I want, cracking inappropriate jokes to amuse my friends. There’s no harm done. My friends call me whore/slut/bitch all the time just for fun.”

OMG MOOSE!

Unless you have been living under a rock, are Amish, or were raised by wolves, you must be aware of the phenomenon that is Twitter and how it is taking the world by storm. Everyone from professional athletes to to acne-covered tweens is tweeting, but there is one particular account that caught our eye at the Voice.

The account name is “Harvard Hoochies” and the bio reads that the account holder(s) are “BU biddies, hooching and husband hunting at Harvard Final Clubs. We ward off RUHGs (random ugly Harvard girls)…frequently.”

One gem of a post reads, “when you slip a final club man your number, make sure it’s not on a piece of historical paper with their founders’ story#oopsydaisies” while another boasts, “Owl, ad, fly… All conquered last night”.

BU Biddies talking after a successful night of Final Club raging...

But don’t stay sad for long.  November is full of great music in the city.  Click on the date for ticket info, the band name for band website, and the venue name for venue website.

Beautiful Grace Potter will be rocking the House of Blues on 11/19.

11/3: Monsters of Folk, Orpheum Theatre:

This supergroup is made up of Conor Oberst (aka Bright Eyes), M. Ward, and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James.  Those three have been doing the occasional show or recording together for years, but finally have an album out and an official tour.

11/4: Ray LaMontagne, Citi Performing Arts Center:

This raspy singer-songwriter from Maine is probably best known for his single, “You Are the Best Thing.”

11/5 & 11/6: Lotus, Paradise Rock Club:

Lotus is a quntessential jamtronica band, meaning that they fuse live instrumental jam rock with the sounds of dance and electronica.  This show is sure to be a party.

11/7: Girls, Great Scott:

This Pitchfork darling will warm up this dark, intimate bar with its fresh sounds from San Francisco.

11/8: Dan Deacon, Pozen Center (MassArt):

Hipster-favorite known almost as much for this YouTube video as his music meets art school: fun ensues.

11/9: Miley Cyrus, TD Garden:

14-year-old girls watching a 16-year-old girl dance provocatively…I’d steer clear.

11/10: Neko Case, The Wilbur Theatre:

This Canadian country-rock singer with a beautiful voice is sure to put on a show to remember.

11/12:  The Low Anthem | Blind Pilot, Paradise Rock Club:

Two great bands from opposite sides of the country unite for a tour of some of the greatest modern folk-rock.  This is a show you do not want to miss.

11/13: Works Progress Administration, Club Passim:

This musical collective will be touring in the form of Glen Phillips, Sean Watkins, and Luke Bulla in what is by far, the closest venue to Harvard (save for the Yard).  This blogger thinks it could prove to be the best show of the night, though it has quite a bit of competition.

11/13, 11/14, & 11/15: Bob Dylan, Citi Performing Arts Center:

The greatest singer-songwriter of all time continues the Never Ending Tour.

11/13: Mike Doughty, Regattabar:

Another venue close to Harvard located in the Charles Hotel hosts this alternative singer-songwriter.

11/13: The Cranberries, Orpheum Theatre:

The Irish band from the 1990′s reunites, adding another great show to this Friday of music.

11/14: Super Mash Bros, Sigma Alpha Mu, Boston University:

Self-described as “Girl Talk’s hot cousin,” this is your best bet for overcoming the pain of missing last night’s show.  Some (including me) would claim the duo is better than Girl Talk.  Problem: good luck finding a BU student to win you the remaining tickets form this sold out show.

11/18: Surprise Me Mr. Davis, The Middle East Downstairs:

A older music fan at a show last spring told me this was a band made up of members of the Slip that I had to check out for their jammin’ folk-rock and lively shows.  Wikipedia tells me that they formed during a blizzard in which frontman Nathan Moore and the Slip were snowed in at a recording studio and created a new band.

11/19: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals | Brett Dennen, House of Blues:

Two of the best young artists on the scene.  Grace Potter is one hot rocker from Vermont who can really sing.  Brett Dennen sings fun, light songs often with deep, heavy lyrics.

11/19: The Felice Brothers, Paradise Rock Club:

Fun, energy, rock, accordion.  These brothers from upstate New York folkin’ rock.

11/21: Pretty Lights, House of Blues:

If you’re backing form the Game the same day, there is no better way to stretch out your day of partying than with Pretty Lights.  Live, Pretty Lights is DJ Derek Vincent Smith and drummer Cory Eberhard.  The energy of live drumming with crazy electronic music may be overwhelming.  Prepare yourself with the free downloads from the Pretty Lights website.

11/22 & 11/23: Sonic Youth, The Wilbur Theatre:

One of the most important and influential bands for alternative rock, experimental rock, indie rock, and punk comes to Boston for two nights of shows.

11/25: Fuck Buttons, Great Scott:

Their MySpace says they are “Experimental/Progressive/Other.”  Their live show will be appreciated by jam rock and electronic fans alike.

11/27 & 11/28: The Pixies, Citi Performing Arts Center:

If you are staying at Harvard for Thanksgiving break and need something interesting to do, look no further.

11/30: Elvis Perkins in Dearland, Paradise Rock Club:

Like the Low Anthem and Deer Tick, Elvis Perkins is a solid folk-rock performer from Providence, RI, quickly gaining fame.  He is the son of Anthony Perkins (Norman Bates).
