Jack Johnson | On and On | Universal
Fade in. You’re alone, along the bluffs of Sands Beach, gazing out toward the rolling waves. While captivated by the reflections of the sunlight off the waves, your mind begins to ponder the bigger questions in life.
Film Festival To Bring Italian Flavor to MCC
A three-day film festival this weekend will give Santa Barbara a little taste of Italian culture. Cinema al Dente, in its second year at UCSB, will begin tonight at the MultiCultural Center at 6 p.m. The screening on Saturday will also begin at 6 p.m., and Sunday’s screening will begin at 3 p.m.
NOFX | The War on Errorism | Fat Wreck Chords
It’s a proven fact: As the state of the nation gets shittier, the punk rock gets better. So it’s no surprise that it took a goofball president to bring out NOFX’s serious side.
The Few | s/t | PSB

Babies In Space – Part 3
Let’s say you’ve “temporarily” closed your eyes, dropped your highly engrossing economics reader to the floor and opened your mind to a dream world of kaleidoscopic images capable of stimulating even the most coffee-tested nerves. This is where the film “Naqoyqatsi” comes into play.

Imagine yourself for a moment driving down a long stretch of highway in the middle of nowhere, alone, windows down, with nothing but warm summer skies, a cold drink, and a cigarette between your lips.
Turbonegro | Scandinavian Leather | Burning Heart
Make sure to plaster your cheeks in blush, douse your eyes with swanky liner, splash your lips with blood red lipstick – and don’t you dare forget to don that sailor outfit buried in the closet, because Turbonegro is back with a vengeance and a sneering giggle on their newest release, Scandinavian Leather.
May 7 – May 16, 2003
ippies and punk rockers collaborating in the ’70s are like Britney Spears and Metallica sharing a stage, today. Yet fate brought the Doors’ ex-keyboardist and L.A. punk rockers X together to break ground in the early ’80s.
Ah, Parking Services, Where Art Thy Sting?
I was late for an exam yesterday and decided to drive to campus. Being short on time and spare change for a parking pass, I decided to take advantage of one of Parking Services’ deluxe $30 spaces.
