Gofundour disaster lives
It truly was a crackin’ party. Crackin’ tunes, crackin’ vibes, crackin’ company and a crackin’… bed. Pre-event, Tom and I discussed, “People jumping on the bed. That’ll be fine. It’s strong. Let the people dance.” Oh how wrong we were. I woke up the morning after, ready to clean up the party mess. […]
Reclaim the Night
Reclaim the Night has its historic roots in the 1970’s, where the first march occurred in Leeds to demand a woman’s right to walk the streets safely at night. The Reclaim the Night website states writes, “In every sphere of life we negotiate the threat or reality of rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment. We […]
Why Music Tuition Must Be Protected
In 2017, Edinburgh Council attempted to close down its most famous music school, and proposed further cuts to state schools music budgets. This was met with fury from hundreds of music teachers and pupils across the city, and prompting the Council to drop the proposals. Now, budget cuts have again been proposed that will halve […]
In Praise of Eurovision
Last night was truly something else, maybe not the best Eurovision I’ve watched but it did give us some moments that will live on in my heart until next year. Some highlights, (as told through my live facebook updates) included: Ukraine’s entire performance: “Is this weird Dracula?” Slovenia, fine maybe not the best song […]
Quick-fire Questions: The Great Gatsby
Kiana Bowden One of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most famous works is coming to life in St Andrews next week. This performance of Simon Levy’s adaptation is being directed by Madison Hauser, known for her work on other productions such as ‘The Bacchae’, ‘And Then There Were None’ and ‘Anything Goes’ to name but a few. […]
Lucy’s Mind Lab – Where Nothing Works and Nobody Knows What They’re Doing: The Meaning of the Cheddar Man Revelation
Lucy Bidgood If I’ve learned anything from my time at this university, it’s that science news is an impenetrable source of procrastination. Yes, I might well have these results to write up into a lab report, but do I want to examine this piece about a glow-in-the-dark rabbit? Who needs essay research when I can […]
An Interview with On the Rocks
Cady Crowley This year’s On the Rocks Festival is coming early to St Andrews, with a fall semester event taking over the town Saturday, November 18th. We took the time to find out what you’ll need to make the most of your On The Rocks experience by interviewing the Head of Events, Oliver Savage, so […]
Half-Baked Philosophy: Silver Linings
Nathan Lovelace Silver linings. Apparently clouds have them and we’re supposed to look for them. Going into my third year with a flat-mate that can be a bit like a bullish hurricane in a china shop, it could be said that my patience is broken more often than it probably should be. Occasionally when washing […]
Treaty
Jamie Rodney Leonard Cohen’s latest- and final- album is, for my money, some of the Canadian songwriter/poet’s best work. Full of songs ruminating on love and god, death and darkness, it’s a shame I can only pick one to write about in this article. However, while I’d recommend giving the whole album a listen (especially […]
The Reel Deal: The Remarkable Rise of Ryan Gosling – the Strange Story of the Internet’s Boyfriend
Morgan Corby Ooh, that hair…that permanent half smile…that grey eyed gaze that sees deep into your very soul… “What a man! What a talent!” the world cries out, weeping with adoration as our favourite Canadian whistles wistfully on an LA pier in ‘La La Land’ or leaps about saving humanity in ‘Blade Runner 2049’. “Fill […]
