And the Music You're Missing

I'm musically oblivious to the point that I'm often embarrassed to blitz out song requests to my sorority because it reveals just how behind the times I really am (I will categorically deny requesting "Party In The U.S.A.," um, yesterday). Given that this is my baseline level of awareness, it's possible that I've totally overlooked a sick Hanover-based music scene, but my band-geek-turned-art-school-hipster friends from home are full of stories about jamming to underground, alternative rock bands in trendy local clubs and grinding to recorded music in the sweaty Heorot basement doesn't exactly measure up.

Dartmouth (0-2, 0-0 Ivy) has already shown vast improvement from last year's winless season, and will look to build on its solid outing against the University of New Hampshire. Last week, the Big Green was able to keep pace with the Wildcats for the first half before falling 44-14.
