Cold shooting, turnovers doom Rams
The last time VCU stepped on the floor at The Robins Center in 2006, the Rams came away unsuccessful against cross-town Richmond. In 2008, the Spiders were once again able to send VCU home with a loss.
The Rams shot 31 percent and committed 21 turnovers in a 56-48 loss Wednesday night.
Ludacris launches best LP yet
Ludacris, or Chris Bridges to his Hollywood fans, is on the crux of a rare occurrence for most emcees. He has created a successful movie career and managed to stay relevant while still keeping his stock in hip-hop, even though he’s still overlooked by many other artists in the game today.
Heart-to-heart with Kanye
After a turbulent year, super producer/rapper Kanye West returns with the dark, emotionally charged and ultimately groundbreaking “808’s & Heartbreak.”
The album strips away the labels and braggadocio that West is known for in return for a cold, hard look at how someone in the public eye can deal with loss.
New wave for holiday dance floors
Looking to cut out the marketable crap that saturates the airwaves and shopping mall speakers this season? The Kaiser Chiefs’ latest release “Off With Their Heads” rocks so hard, it is the perfect cure for your musical holiday blues.
While the British post-punkers’ earlier releases front with a significantly harder edge, “Off With Their Heads” draws it’s strength from the thoughtful vocal harmonies, bearing a Dandy Warhol-ish quality.
