The success of "The Trinity Session," the Cowboy Junkies' second album, came as a complete surprise, according to bassist Alan Anton. The music was so unusual-sounding, so outside-the-box, that it was never expected to catch on with a mainstream audience, Anton said.
It wouldn't be hard to argue that we all have our own ideal fantasies, where if the world catered to our imagination and was receptive enough to react accordingly, we would be the coolest people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Sadly there is something limiting all of our wildest fantasies of course; it's that the world is not actually a fictional place that uses our deepest desires and intents as blueprints to construct itself - But not to worry, that's why we have James Bond.
Mug recipes are ideal for college students because all of these meals are designed for the microwave. The catch is that almost all of these microwavable treats have lots of expensive or unusual ingredients. Here are a few recipes for morning or night that have easy directions and easy access to most, if not all, of the ingredients:
After almost a three year break since releasing his recording breakthrough and CMA award winning album of the year "Chief", contemporary country singer Eric Church is rolling out his fourth co-written album titled "The Outsiders." This album shows how Church is taking risks and particularly doing it better than most of the country singers of his generation so far with his use of creativity. Throughout the 12 songs in the tracklist, Church mixes in genres like rock, rap and metal giving his fans a new twist to his classic contemporary taste shown through "how he was and how he rolls" in his previous albums.

A Brief History - according to history.com -
It's a common occurrence in Hollywood for a laundry list of hotshot actors to team up once or twice a year for an epic, big-budget feature film with high expectations.
It has been a long time since poetic confessions of love, soliloquies of passion and "Hamlet"-style suicides have set the stage when talking about dating and romance. Shakespeare was a couple of centuries ago, but that seems to be just the point. With the audience of romantic comedies dwindling to teenage girls and their reluctant boyfriends, star Zac Efron teamed with director Tom Gormican and decided to offer a new take on some of the old clich?©s. Though formerly titled "Are We Officially Dating?", if the name switch to "That Awkward Moment" isn't enough, the trailer should show that this rom-com is as testosterone-filled as they come.
MTV has struck again with bad reality television. I've never been one for reality TV, except for the "Real World Road Rules Challenge" series, but this show hurts.
Director Jason Reitman takes a solemn turn in the romantic drama "Labor Day." Known for directing "Up in the Air," "Juno" and "Thank You for Smoking," Reitman usually produces cheerful movies. "Labor Day," on the other hand, is serious, somber and intense with a touch of innocence.
If the Comedy Central network's greatest successes are its satire programs ("The Daily Show," "Tosh.0"), their newest original series, "Broad City," has to be considered a contender to make sketch comedy the network's biggest attraction, at least potentially.
There are two worlds: a futuristic world where there is an excess of luxuries and comforts and a primitive world of coldness and despair. While one world is orderly, technology-based and abundantly materialistic, the other world features simple clothing and cavemen necessities. Which world would you rather live in?
There has not been and may never be a band as epic as the Beatles.
Under the far-reaching umbrella of contemporary fiction, most writers tend to stay on one side as long as it's out of the rain. They find their genre or interest, be it experimental, the mundane, fantastical or any of the thirty or so genres available to them, and stick to it. Call it an inability to change. Call it being too comfortable. Call it whatever you like, the truth remains. When a writer finds something that can sell, rarely are they going to venture out into the rainy days of uncertainty.
"American Idol" returns to television for season 13 on the Fox network Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. Although the show has lost viewership, new judge Harry Connick Jr. creates high hopes for the season.
While some students spend their free time perusing Netflix lists or surfing the web, John Cobb, a senior diplomacy and international relations major, spent his free time writing a book. The back cover describes his book, "Doin' It Real Big," as "a collection of poetry that is nothing like anything you have ever read before."
Every time we turn on a television these days, some sort of paranormal drama is unfolding on the screen. Programs such as "Supernatural," "True Blood" and "Teen Wolf" dominate the small screen, but one new show features new villains: pirates.
