After over two years of missing their live shows, I finally saw my favorite band 311 again on Nov. 27 at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom. Just like the other four times I’ve seen them, 311 didn’t fail to put on a good live show (they’re actually quite known for their live performances, [...]

Street artists illegally post their artwork in advertising space in order to pose the question, “Who speaks for the public?”

Since the rating system was put into effect, the MPAA’s spotty standards have made us question what exactly their motives are for censoring certain content.
