Rogue Wave is a wildly mediocre band from Oakland, Calif. The band purveyed its wares to a large crowd Wednesday night at the 9:30 club, one show in a long list of many this summer, including stops at monster festivals like Bonnaroo. But the show prompted some in the audience (read: this writer) to question the need for such mediocre music makers.

In the no-heroes world of indie rock, Stephen Malkmus is the closest thing there is to a legend. As frontman of '90s slacker rock band Pavement, collaborator on the Silver Jews' early albums or as a solo artist with his new band, the Jicks, Malkmus has proven again that he doesn't give a damn about anything.

AU is, in many ways, a font of untapped resources. Imagine for a minute how much money is just sitting, rotting away in unused AUCC accounts, unspent dollars from inactive clubs. Someone should really check that out. It's got to be a ton of cash.

D.C. residents are generally not known for their willingness to let loose. Whether it's the politicians and lobbyists in suits downtown or the over-achieving, if transient, college set, our nation's capital is seldom known as place to let your hair down.

Ah, D.C. - a capital in constant flux, an uncertain city in a questionably legal state of un-statehood. It's a city that many people are proud to call home, as well as a city many quickly claim to be just passing through.

Looking for some sweet tunes to groove to while sipping tea and studying for exams? Why not take a trip down to the Caribbean... in sound! Calypso is a form of fun-loving yet political music bred from the Afro-Caribbean traditions of Trinidad and Tobago and other island nations as early as the 17th century. Unable to speak openly to each other, slaves used music, especially calypso, to network, spread news and otherwise communicate. The genre was initially influenced by the music of French, British and Spanish Caribbean occupiers, especially the French dance music known as "carnival." The music began to spread in the early 20th century. Some calypso takes cues from the New York jazz scene of the '40s and '50s and gained fame through a handful of key players.

Going to an Animal Collective show is like trying to look at something at the bottom of a body of water. It's frustrating at times, surprising at others and sometimes it just hurts your eyes. Or, in this case, your ears.

Take a drive down Guadalupe Street in Austin, Texas, and right before you pass Mamie Mam's Thai Restaurant and the University of Texas' Main Campus, there will be a huge black and white mural on the side of a building. That building used to house Tower Records, boasting a swank collection of music worthy of Austin's notoriously discerning tastes, but now it's a Baja Fresh. Go figure.

"Sorry, I was half asleep" shouldn't be an acceptable excuse for missing class at AU, considering that students can't swing a cat on campus without hitting somewhere to buy a cup o' joe.

"Certain songs, they get scratched into your souls," sang Craig Finn at the end of the Hold Steady's set at the Black Cat last Wednesday. His voice shook, his eyes were fixed at the back of the club and as he said the words, from the song "Certain Songs," he clawed the air with his hand.
