SAINT ANNIE — Indie pop musician Annie Clark — better known as her stage name, St. Vincent — gave D.C. audiences the boost they needed on Wednesday night. Despite the District’s reputation for lackluster audiences, St. Vincent sung the praises of the 9:30 club’s crowd and rewarded them with a singular performance. The singer added quality and depth to songs off her latest album, “Actor,” which was made using GarageBand.

St. Vincent brings audience appreciation back to District

·

Washington, D.C., is often criticized for its lackluster music scene. Several writers and artists have said it possesses the same rigid lack of originality that the city’s politics exhibit. Maybe it’s only a small step in shedding this reputation, but Annie Clark of St. Vincent redeemed the Capital’s music listeners last Wednesday, when she played an awing show at 9:30 club and repeatedly praised D.C. and its residents for providing her with some of her fullest and most enthusiastic shows in her past. Her audience seemed aware of the significance of this praise and responded by delivering her another ardent reception.

‘LOST’s’ claimed candidates create more questions

·

On this week’s episode of “LOST,” “The Lighthouse,” we met a mini-Shepherd, Jack’s son, David. David stays with Jack while David’s mother is out of town, but the two have trouble communicating. We see commonalities in the relationships between Jack and his father and Jack and his son. Luckily, Jack is neither a lush nor a prick, and he overcomes the communication barrier when he shows up to his son’s piano audition only to meet Mr. “Too-Cool for English” Dogan and his tiny, prodigy son.

AU student seeks ANC seat

SPA sophomore Sami Green is running for a spot on the Advisory Neighborhood Commission 3D07 for the fourth time in her two years here at AU. With only 27 voters in the district, getting enough signatures has been Green’s downfall. On the commission, Green would consider issues like liquor licenses and zoning laws.

Individualism in an uncertain world

The future — that vast expanse of hopes and dreams — was once reserved for restless Americans out to improve their lot. There were going to be bigger houses, faster cars and better paying jobs in a peaceful world. The fall of the Berlin Wall gave rise to the prospect of widespread prosperity well into the 21st century.

CourseRank: A critique

Choosing classes can be an extremely tedious and frustrating experience. Trying to find the perfect class, professor or both can lead to hours of study-meetings with your academic adviser, getting recommendations from classmates and spending some quality time with the course catalog.

Letter to the editor

Although I transferred out of AU, I have been bombarded with news and updates about SG. While many students at AU don’t highly regard SG, I spent all three of my semesters proudly serving in the senate. Lately, plenty of my friends down in D.C. are upset to hear that the Founders’ Day Ball has been postponed indefinitely. While the postponement of AU’s one great tradition is rather regrettable, it inevitably comes to the point where we begin to ask ourselves why this happened.
