Whoever said pop music is all bad obviously hasn't heard the Eels. With a keen ear for upbeat music and an obvious appreciation for all things musical, Eels mastermind "E," or Mark Oliver Everett, has made a name for himself in the alternative rock scene by trying a bit of everything while keeping it simple enough for the audience not to get lost. The Eels' latest effort, "Shootenanny!" is the kind of eclectic rock album we haven't seen since Ween's 1994 classic "Chocolate and Cheese." Although "Shootenanny!" does not trump Ween's weirdness, the album's ability to evoke comparisons to Morphine, Tom Petty, the Smashing Pumpkins and Beck, to name a few, allows it to stand on its own as a solid album through and through. The album's opening track sets the collective piece up nicely.

"There's a majority of Michigan families that can't handle this," she said.

As I was walking on campus of my alma mater last week I saw a rather perturbing sight - bikes upon bikes were being impounded. I agree with the premise of this escapade, however, grossly disagree with the methods to which it is carried out.
While I do have to admit that ASMSU has done some good for the undergraduate student population, I also believe they've caused just as much harm.
