Mark Ronson
Uptown Special Album Review
Columbia Records
Released January 13, 2015
Genre: Funk, R&B, Pop, 70s soul revival
When “Uptown Funk” first infiltrated the airwaves, I was surprised for two main reasons: first at how catchy, upbeat, and groovy the track was, and second at how absolutely no one had even heard of Mark Ronson before then. Ronson’s work has been prominently overlooked...
Released in late 2008, Mirror’s Edge shared shelve space with such heavy-hitters as Call of Duty: World at War, Battlefield: Bad Company, and Fallout 3 , causing it to be generally overlooked. Failing to meet low sales expectations, the game by EA developer DICE, the same people who brought you the Battlefield franchise, only moved around 1 million copies...
Action Bronson
Mr. Wonderful Album Review
Atlantic Records/Vice Records/Goliath
Released March 23, 2015
Genre: Hip Hop, East Coast Hip Hop, Rap Rock, Pop Rap
https://open.spotify.com/album/7ijgeLAW3W3vZ9jf6tozFq
Acclaimed East Coast MC, and chef, Action Bronson's feature debut full length is a glitzy, robust, and lush piece of work. Bronson fuses his typical over-the-top, braggadocios lyricism and wit, with some blues rock and soul influenced instrumentals. There are...
These days, it seems like games come and go, but the game in season right now is Among Us, which just took over Fall Guys. It's a simple game yet it can bring about unforeseen collaborations. Jacksepticeye with the Sidemen. Dream and Pewdiepie. The list goes on and on. Even Souija Boy is getting in on it...
It's exciting to...
On Fridays, artists ranging in clout and genre drop their music for their audience's listening pleasure. And while Spotify and Apple Music both have "New Music Friday" playlists, The Roundup doesn't want the Jesuit community to have to sift through those playlists for songs that either bop or flop. That's why we're initiating a New Music Friday series.
Caution: Spotify...
Truly an Epic Experience
Few gamers have never heard of Bungie, but if they haven’t, they certainly have heard of the Halo series. So it makes perfect sense that many students at Jesuit may be “sick” on September 9th, since Bungie’s new game, Destiny, will be released on the next gen and last gen systems. The hype behind this game...
I tightly grip my crescent-tinted assault rifle as two of my friends and myself enter uninviting and dark catacombs. Lights emit from our weapons as we walk deeper into the abyss of a cavern that is nonhuman in origin, adding to the hostility on the Earth’s moon. The tension and silence cause one of my friends to crack a bad joke through...
The Black Keys
Turn Blue Album Review
Nonesuch Records
Released May 12, 2014
Genre: Psychedelic Rock, Garage Rock, Blues Rock
You must have been living under a rock for the last decade if you haven’t heard of The Black Keys. From their hit albums Brothers and El Camino, songs in movie trailers, and even drummer Patrick Carney’s amusing feud with pop star Justin Bieber, the ubiquity...
