USC Brings "Pitch Perfect" To Life

The University of South Carolina has three established a cappella groups (for those of you who don't know, a cappella is a genre that creates all music without instruments, only vocals), all of which are culminating this Spring semester with song! When you're racking your mind for new ways to procrastinate on studying for finals this weekend, I suggest you make your way to the performances of some of USC's most talented, hidden gems.

1. The Carolina Gentlemen

The Carolina Gentlemen is USC's all-male a cappella group. What's better than boys singing in bowties? Not much. The Gents bring their A-game to every performance, and can be seen this Sunday, April 26th at 7:30 at USC's Public Health Auditorium for their final concert of the semester. The boys will perform songs new and old, featuring some of their senior soloists as the group bids them farewell.

For more information about The Gents and their upcoming performances, visit their Facebook or Twitter accounts.

2. The Cocktails

The Cocktails are USC's all-female a cappella group. With these vocal vixens, a cappella has never been more intoxicating. Their final concert will be held this Friday, April 24th at 7:00 in the Williams Brice Nursing Building Auditorium. This performance boasts a mix of classics, your current favorite pop and country songs, as well as some throwbacks that are sure to have you reminiscing on your favorite era-- middle school. The Cocktails also plan to celebrate the release of their third album with an album release party.

For more information about these events, and to keep up to tabs with these sassy singers, make sure to check out their event page on Facebook as well as their Instagram.

3. Cockappella

Last but certainly not least is USC's premier coed a cappella group, Cockappella. Because the only thing better than an all-girl or all-guy singing group, is one that combines the magic that both have to offer! I actually have the pleasure of being a member of this group of talented, singing weirdos. Cockappella's final concert will be sure to wow you with some old school throwbacks, as well acca-awesome pop hits featuring an unexpected punch. On Sunday, April 26th at 5:00 at Jake's in Five Points, celebrate the end of the semester with a group of talented, fun musicians (and a pitcher of beer... or three). Also make sure to check out Cockappella on social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and now Soundcloud!

In addition, check out this video of one of Cockappella's performances this weekend in Augusta, GA!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
