Local painter John Seilonen is so addicted to his craft that even the lack of a canvas does not impede his performance. Displaying his artwork at the second Festival d'Art last Saturday, Seilonen picked up his brush and oil paints and used a piece of discarded cardboard to paint a snow-capped mountain landscape. ...

Peck's Senior Recital Not Given Recognition It Deserves

Ben Peck performed his senior recital in Olin Concert Hall on Sunday. His singing was beautiful and you should have gone. I went early to get a good seat, expecting a big crowd as Peck's talent is well-known around campus. His many friends and family were there; John Corrie, who accompanied on piano, had his mother-in-law there, but the rest of the campus seemed to be elsewhere....

The current exhibition at the Bates College Museum of Art, "The Body Holographic: Harriet Casdin-Silver," involves as much science as it does art. While Anthony Shostak was the man behind the current exhibit, an upcoming exhibit that will be just as invigorating is Liz Sheehan's works. She is the Assistant Curator over at the museum, and celebrated her one year anniversary with Bates last month. However, she is no stranger to Maine or the NESCAC system....

College bands can range from those groups who play once in a while for fun to those who do it for fun but also spend countless hours honing their sound. Bates' very own Slut Puppies is one of the latter. With concerts almost every weekend, the band is poised to move the crowd with their own material and energetic covers by the likes of Led Zeppelin and Radiohead. Their recently released EP, "Give It Up," showcases their chemistry as a band and their live shows will tell you what they have accomplished since. ...
The Undeniable Decay Of"The Real World"

I would like to address one of the great existential crises of the past few months: the complete decline of MTV's "Real World" franchise. It may seem trite to name a reality television show as the greatest existential crisis in recent memory but it was either write this article or cry about the inauguration. So reality TV it is. And if reality television has become a fixture in our culture, and it has, then MTV's "Real World" is most certainly the proverbial "original gangster" of the genre....
Vh1: Why I Do Not Love the '90s

The other day, I overheard a group of students discussing the VH1 show "I Love the '90s." These kids loved the show. I mean really, absolutely loved it. Personally, I cannot stand the show. Talking to my friends, I found that they had similarly strong opinions. Because of this, I think there are two types of college students in this world: those who think that VH1's "I Love the '90s" is the best television show since "The Newlyweds" and those who don't. I consider myself firmly entrenched in this second school of thought, and although this is a strange and ever-present split, I think the show is more than worthy of discussion....

Bates students had the opportunity to be recorded on CD this Thursday at the Village Club Series. Guitar and vocalist, Jason LeVasseur performed in the Silo, a venue he has been coming to for several years now. Before he came to campus, he planned to record a live CD at Bates because of the great acoustics and awesome student vibe. It was a great experience for Batesies and for Jason, who all got to take part in the production of a new CD!...
