Classic books you should read: Shirley Jackson’s ‘The Sundial’
After concluding “Hangsaman,” I can definitively say I fell in love with Shirley Jackson’s writing and her stinging critiques of U.S. society. Then, while searching for another compelling read, I stumbled on one of Jackson’s more comical works: “The Sundial” (1958). The novel is an absurd and dynamically constructed joyride with fascinating core characters that [...]
JPEGMAFIA celebrates his birthday and the birth of ‘LP!’ at the Masquerade
I heard “1539 N. Calvert” for the first time in my junior year of high school at a poorly-lit basement soirée. After asking about the song on AUX, some guy with longer, tousled hair and paint-stained denim retorted, “It’s JPEGMAFIA … he’s underground, so you probably won’t know him.” That was the year Barrington Hendricks [...]
Concert Review: Marc Rebillet’s “Third Dose Tour” is an explosive, hilarious self-love party.
I first became familiar with Marc Rebillet through a series of tweets by rapper Ice-T last August. After coming across a clip of the internet sensation playing the organ on an episode of Kenny Beats’ web series, “The Cave,” Ice-T spent a week doing free promo for Rebillet, posting his favorite videos and dubbing Rebillet [...]
New Jersey, eccentric instruments, and a lot of gratitude: The Front Bottoms’ Brian Sella on the music-making process and return to live shows
Brian Sella performing in Atlanta - (The Emory Wheel / Elaine Zhou) Some bands you discover on an arbitrary night in 8th grade, and they hold your head up high through the countless heartbreaks and coming-of-age anxieties symptomatic of your emerging teenagehood. New Jersey-bred band The Front Bottoms does just that with tracks that transcend [...]
The Michael C. Carlos Museum: a post-pandemic look toward the future
When I returned to Emory this fall, I was greeted by an entirely new campus. The updated Michael C. Carlos Museum was no exception. Clearly, the Carlos has taken the time and space to reflect on past issues, pursue post-pandemic opportunities and engage with the student body in innovative ways. The museum has persisted in [...]
Living in no particular way but our own: Americana counter-culture fashion at the Dead & Company concert
Although not the actual Grateful Dead, Dead & Company are one of the prime remnants of old-school American counter-culture. The Grateful Dead ended in 1995 after the death of Jerry Garcia, and Dead & Co emerged as the modern iteration of the post-Jerry band, with Bob Weir, Billy Kreutzman and Mickey Hart still playing from [...]
Missed flights and mourning students: Jack Harlow proves to be the only silver lining for 2021 Swoop’s Ball
“I hope you don’t have lice!” Rapper Jack Harlow yelled after taking a student's cap from the crowd — his lovable wit single-handedly saving this year’s Swoop’s Ball. With a line of students stretching all the way to Cox Hall, Jack Harlow and Fetty Wap drew thousands of people to McDonough Field for the first [...]
Villeneuve’s ‘Dune’ is the start of the next great sci-fi epic
TIMOTHÉE CHALAMET as Paul Atreides in Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ action adventure “DUNE,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release. Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures Since the original “Star Wars” defined the space opera in 1977, many films have tried and failed to replicate the grandiosity of such a genre. “Dune” is [...]
Season two of ‘Ted Lasso’ brings a laugh a minute, and just as many tears
This review contains spoilers and mentions of suicide and death of a parent After only one season, Apple TV’s “Ted Lasso” quickly garnered a reputation for being wholesome, bright and heartwarming. All of these descriptions were accurate, but they felt incomplete. To call the first season of “Ted Lasso” wholesome and leave it at that [...]

What art reveals and conceals: A Thanksgiving story
Let's be upfront: Thanksgiving is a problematic holiday with an origin in the oppression of Indigenous American people and culture. Art and image-making have been complicit in the erasure of this history due to the lack of historical accuracy in Pilgrim paintings or images meant to highlight the American significance of this holiday. I can [...]
The show must go on(line)
After a long year and a half without live theater, Broadway finally reopened this fall. While many hoped less tourism, numerous COVID restrictions and the rise in streamable shows would cause a drop in ticket prices, this has not been the case so far. As theater begins its highly anticipated return, it is long past [...]
‘King Richard’: A poignant tale of the man behind the queens of tennis
Courtesy of Warner Bros. It is not often we get to see the making of a legend, let alone two. It’s even rarer that we are told the stories of those behind the creation of the stars that we love. In the spectacular “King Richard,” director Reinaldo Marcus Green depicts the tale of Richard Williams [...]
Shaky Knees 2021: Kept on two feet by the classics
Shaky Knees, held this year from Oct. 22-24 at Central Park in the Old Fourth Ward, is an Atlanta music festival with a distinctly matured (for better or worse) crowd and feel. Rather than the showy rave outfits and glitter bombs at Music Midtown, I was lost in a blur of flannel T-shirts worn by [...]
A deadly obsession: the newest season of “You”
This review contains spoilers Netflix’s “You” is an exceptional dark thriller that captured its viewers’ hearts in its first two seasons. The psychological series garnered great ratings because of its ability to make the audience side with, and even fall for, a sociopathic serial killer. Season three is no different. The plot and character development [...]
