The Robots are Here

By Kami Shallenberger

Here at Artsweek we relish the fact that we are trendsetters, or at least like to think we can spot a fad before it hits the mainstream. Each week we slave away into the wee hours of the morning, like robots, hoping to k...

By Drew Mackietron Staff Writer

Elf | Big Elf, Oversized Heart

By Glenn Heath

Great Christmas movies are hard to find these days. Every year the television networks show the classics: "It's a Wonderful Life," "A Christmas Story" and, of course, "Die Hard".

What the !!!?

By Jessica Jardine

So, it was officially the first "in the trailer" interview Artsweek has scored, and, all things considered, it went pretty darn well.

The Beatles | Let It Be…Naked | Apple

By Joey Siara

I was thoroughly prepared to bash this album. So, Sir Paul McCartney, who the heck do you think you are? I'm terribly sorry that you're unhappy with the original album. Deal with it.

Yo La Tengo | Today Is the Day | Matador

By Edward Kim

Yo La Tengo returns with their second release of the year, a six-song EP that contains only three original tracks. Why an EP with only three originals when they already released a full length this year? Don't even ask.

Blink-182 | s/t | Geffen

By Jesse Hoy

It smells like Blink-182, it looks like Blink-182 and their new album will undoubtedly sell like Blink-182. However, it doesn't really sound like Blink-182.

Britney Spears | In the Zone | Jive

By Brenna Boyce

If you look at the cover of any magazine these days, it seems that Britney Spears has it. If "it" happens to be excessive cleavage, jutting hipbones and flowing extensions, well, then she certainly does have "it."

Shooting For Life

By Kami Shallenberger

Almost everyone talks about the tragedy and disaster of other people's lives, but very few actually do something to help. Garrett Hubbard is one of those few people actually doing something.

Love Actually | Actually Decent, Love

By Brenna Boyce

Hugh Grant could very well be the typecast actor of a generation, invading American romantic comedies with his devilishly handsome, but often bumbling British mannerisms in search of love.

Plaid | Spokes | Warp

By Ian King

Finally, Plaid has come out with an album that doesn't sound like an attempt at rehashing Not for Threes. Sure, their past two albums sounded lovely enough, but you couldn't help but get the feeling that the duo was tryi...

Emerging from the underground with their second full-length album, anarcho-punks Against Me! are back and rocking as hard as ever. Their newest release, The Eternal Cowboy, resonates with the infectious hand-clapping, fo...

Sliding Down Chutes Too Narrow

By Jessica Jardine

Barely 24 hours after having waded through the debauchery that is UCSB on Halloween night, Artsweek, dressed head to toe in a fuzzy white bunny suit, found itself immersed in one of those magical moments straight out of ...
