As 2011 draws to a close, I wanted to throw my own two cents in about what I considered the best albums of the year. 15. The Smile Sessions- The Beach Boys When Brian Wilson announced that The Smile Sessions would be released, I was ecstatic. I still don't own a box set to this day, but I've been [...]

November 26, 2011. While most of the Bruin population was over at the LA Coliseum watching the USC v UCLA game, I was instead next door at the Shrine Auditorium waiting for Morrissey to croon and serenade me.

For those of you who were blissfully unaware, former Velvet Underground frontman and eternally overrated lyricist Lou Reed teamed up with thrash metal legends/lawsuit enthusiasts Metallica to record an album.
