Summer Listening: New E.P. From We Just Spoke
Beckerman and Mach at The Horn Gallery
Ryan Mach ’14 and Hannah Beckerman ’14 have been making some sweet, sweet sounds lately. You may have caught them at various Horn functions this semester, whether acoustic or in their full electronic glory, and if you’ve been as impressed by their strange and haunting music as I have, you’re gonna love this new EP.
Their songcraft and vocal blend are killer as usual, but perhaps most apparent here is the consistent dopeness of Mach’s production chops. The man brings everything from bright, ethereal indie-pop shimmer to murky, submerged beats with more than a hint of dubstep flavor to them. Stream and download the EP after the jump!
10 o’clock list: Dining Hall Names
The West dining wing.
Peirce has its own tag at the Thrill–we talk about it all the time. However, our dining hall lexicon is continuously in a scramble. What is the official name of the dining hall on the West side of the building? East side of the dining hall? How do most students refer to them? Below is a cataloguing of all the Kenyon upper level dining hall terms, organized by the people who uses them.
1. The Great Hall: what ex-Young Writers and first year English major wannabes call the West dining hall.
2. Upper Dempsey: what studious types and upper class independents call the East dining hall.

I know at this point we’re all done (or nearly done) with finals, but who’s to say that someone among us doesn’t need another little push for inspiration?

This is it—my last column for the Thrill. It’s been a great year and, together, we’ve discussed a great many topics. During finals week last semester, I wrote about the types of exams actors take, but this time around, I want to do something more poignant. After all, this is an emotional time for me. On top of this being my last Thrill post, I’ve been going through a lot of lasts recently—last class at Kenyon, last English paper at Kenyon, last concert attended at Kenyon, etc., etc. Therefore, if you’ll let me, I’d like to write about something that I’m really excited about. I honestly can’t imagine another topic that I’d rather discuss. It’s a fascinating discussion, and I think you’ll enjoy it. What is this topic, you ask? What else other than…(drumroll please)… elements of the pastoral in the plays of Jacobean playwright John Fletcher!
I hope you’re excited.
Ben Stein is!
