Year in review: a look at the arts in 2008 By Lindsey Rivait
Arts Editor January 14, 2009 Two-thousand-and-eight was a pretty decent year for the arts section.  We got to hear from some big names like “Weird Al” Yankovic, Sum 41, They Might Be Giants, Hanson, and Jon Lajoie, as well as local artists and incredibly talented people like Katie Kerr, Charles Meanwell, Rachel Olsen, Monica Overton, Dee Dee Shkreli, Vanessa Hughes, Mary Ann Mulhern, Nick Shields, and Otto Buj among many, many others. There were fashion shows, art openings, album releases, great live shows, book fests, film fests, fringe fests, and all sorts of fun stuff going on all year. I can only hope we all take advantage of 2009 and do it all over again. >> | Vintage Vault: 2008 in film By Jeff Vandusen
Lance Writer January 14, 2009 Being a cinephile and a dirt-poor student in Windsor is hard when most of the movies you’re dying to see never show up because they’re in limited release, forcing you to drop way more money than you should to go see them elsewhere.

Arts Editor January 14, 2009 Like every year, 2008 saw some surprising resurgences from pop culture icons of the past.  Whether it’s a rehash of a 1990s television show, a pop star cleaning up her act, or even a boyband reuniting so I can spend entirely too much money seeing them live and losing my voice singing along to “Hangin’ Tough,” 2008 saw many ghosts coming back to haunt us. >> |
