Bob Dylan's Secret Songs Finally Released

The New Basement Tapes

Bob Dylan - a songwriting, musical, and performing legend - wrote and recorded a handful of songs in 1967 called the Basement Tapes after he was almost killed in a motorcycle accident in 1966. Besides the 16 songs released in 1975 by Columbia Records, most of the songs have remained hard to come by and commercially unavailable. That is, until now.

Lost On The River: The New Basement Tapes is a celebration of the never before seen Bob Dylan lyrics. While this album came out 47 years later, the impact of Dylan's music is still powerful. Not to mention, producer T Bone Burnett (Bob Dylan's guitarist on Rolling Thunder Revue) has managed to put together some of the most talented musicians today to truly do justice to Dylan's music career.

This album features some very familiar and amazing faces:

Elvis Costello

Rhiannon Giddens - Carolina Chocolate Drops

Taylor Goldsmith - Dawes

Jim James - My Morning Jacket

Marcus Mumford - Mumford and Sons

My personal favorite is Kansas City, but each song has an unique sound and showcases each of the member's talents. However, you can hear Dylan's presence in every line, which is lovely. I feel that the group did an excellent job of capturing Dylan's essence in the album.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
