The day Pete Wentz's nude photos surfaced on the Web changed the way we text and share images forever. Wentz, bassist for the band Fall Out Boy, was participating in what we now coin as sexting, sharing nude photos and sexual comments via text messaging. Going in and out of bars and conducting on-the-spot interviews, I was able to put together a modern definition of sexting.

Creed is one of those bands that just won't die. This is a band that has been through everything, from an indie start to superstardom and multiplatinum albums, then to a crashing stop thanks to vocalist Scott Stapp's problems with sex, drugs, and booze. Now, Stapp has brought Creed out of retirement with their new album "Full Circle" and is gunning to prove that Creed can be much more than a joke to rock fans.

Get in line for the Grille in the Morris University Center's Center Court, place your order and listen as a burger is slapped onto the sizzling griddle. Maybe top it with a couple slices of cheese, a few strips of bacon. But, if the burger covered in cheese and bacon is replaced by a turkey or veggie burger without the works, it can mean the difference of a few hundred calories.

Costumes of Halloween's past used to be gory and ghoulish, but they've devolved into parody or just plain tacky. After watching a parade of costumes this past Friday and Saturday, I have some costumes that were creative and comical, and others that missed the mark completely.

In today's punk rock landscape, longevity is rare. Remaining together for more than ten years, Chicago locals Haymarket Riot seem like no ordinary group. Deriving their name from the infamous incident at Haymarket Square in the late 19th century in Chicago, Haymarket Riot seamlessly combines raucous drums, punctuated bass grooves, and a dual guitar assault into a furious, concentrated aural tornado.

Sound the trumpets, introduce the flute, improvise on the saxophone and make the trombone sing with the piano because SIUE's radio station, WSIE, will keep its longtime jazz format, but that's not all the jazz.
According to Chancellor Vaughn Vandegrift's Report to the University, WSIE will retain its jazz format, but may be seeing some new additions to better showcase SIUE to the public.

This album delivers melodic verses and free-flowing knowledge that is packed with build-ups and break-downs from one track to the next.
In this fifth album from the Chicago-native band Chevelle, they try to artistically share the idea of "strange happenings among us on earth.

There is a revolution in horror movies currently going on. "Paranormal Activity" is in theaters right now, and it is doing horror differently. For too long, "fright" movies have been confused with the horror genre. Fright movies rely on sudden scares, cheap thrills, and the antagonist(s) are usually human in nature.

Halloween (1978) - A psychotic killer terrorizes a seemingly random group of babysitters on Halloween night. This film is the epitome of a horror movie staple. It immortalized Jamie Lee Curtis as a scream-queen, gave fame to then-unknown director John Carpenter, and solidified the creepy, silent type in the horror movie genre.

Moldy Food. Rancid Smells. Ghosts. All of these things would be found at a traditional Death Day celebration in the pages of "Harry Potter" by J.K. Rowling. Hogwart's Death Day celebration has an abundance of rotting food, but Eastern's Harry Potter registered student organization changes it up, incorporating the theme of Halloween with a Harry Potter twist leaving out the moldy cuisine.
