January 26

Why should you read this column? Really, don't you have something better to do? Studying? Stalking your crush in Dewick while pretending to read some lame column in the Daily? Blabbering to your friends via Gchat about how that joke account retweeted a link to a Tumblr post linking to a Buzzfeed article about that Netflix show you love but procrastinated watching because you were on Facebook for four hours yesterday? Why read anything not directly related to coursework? You only get so many hours in a day.

Malkmus' newest album off solo project is charming, human

January 16

At this point in his career, it seems like there is no stopping Stephen Malkmus. With five albums from his eponymous band already under his belt, it would be understandable if the 47-year-old musician decided to pack up his guitar and call it a day. Instead, he has pulled together yet another collection of loose, fun-loving tracks - and is traveling across the world to promote them. Malkmus isn't concerned with expectations, and it is this nonchalance that makes his newest record both accessible and enjoyable. In an age where it is cool to not care, Malkmus excels at making his music human, which encourages the listener to feel a tangible connection to his songs - a connection that many indie artists have lost.
