MSTRKRFT in NYC
Pierre Osias

TBA Brooklyn and Webster Hall hosted MSTRKRFT (pronounced, MasterKraft) this weekend in New York City. Their Friday show at TBA Brooklyn in Williamsburg brought a crowd eager to party and listen to MSTRKRFT's cool new electronica music they debuted live earlier this year at SXSW or South by Southwest, an annual film, music, and interactive media festival in Texas.

A converted garage turned into a nightclub and coffeehouse, TBA Brooklyn is a great venue to experience Williamsburg nightlife. It was created by "veterans of New York's bar, club and underground party scene", and it carries the underground vibe of NYC, for sure. Hipsters, artists, the alternative-minded, people from different NYC communities, and all kinds of cool people from overseas made a small party on Friday and got free drinks featuring Smirnoff vodka from 6-9 P.M., courtesy of the venue.

MSTRKRFT is electronica music duo from Toronto, Canada. Created by Jessie F. Keeler from the rock band Death from Above 1979 and Alex Puodziukas (AI-P) from the alternative, electropop Ontario pop group, Girlsareshort. They released the singles "Easy Love" and "Work On You" before their first LP release in 2006. Since then, MSTRKRFT has found some great successes, with their music being featured in video games like Injustice: Gods Among Us, Saints Row 2, Need for Speed: Pro Street, and the movies, Meet the Spartans and Lesbian Vampire Killers. They have been featured at various radio shows and music festivals, and have collaborated and made remixes with John Legend, Ghostface Killah, N.O.R.E., Katy Perry, Wolfmother, Bloc Party, Kylie Minogue, Lil' Mo, and many others. Their music is considered to be one of the indicators of a joining between EDM and hip-hop. With their custom set-up of analog machines and synths Keeler and AI-P created, MSTRKRFT live-streamed their set at TBA in a private Mixmag Lab NYC event for their new album, Operator.

The crowd was amped up as they listened to MSTRKRFT jam, and MSTRKRFT was jamming. No one was without a drink and people were vibing to ill rhythms and beats, which are definitely unique to MSTRKRFT. The beat dropped several times to the delight of the dancers, the live streamers, the photographers, everybody. It was a party at TBA Brooklyn on Friday with MSTRKRFT. MSTRKRFT's music can be heard at Spotify here.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
