Takeaways: Week 2 2024

Takeaways: Week 2 2024

SOMETHING TO WATCH
‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ - Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne, more
Taking place at the 2004 Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, two members of the Wilb’s help sing the ‘Quiet Beatle’ banger “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” as a tribute but the main standout is fellow Hall of Fame Inductee of 2004, Prince. Lurking in the background playing along simply, he enters the light to play the best guitar solo of all time. Seriously. Rumor has it he was upset that Rolling Stone did not include him in a ‘Greatest Guitar Players of All Time List’. Turns out Tom wasn’t the only petty one on stage. 

SOMETHING TO READ 
‘Chicago Rat Hole’ Wikipedia Page

The Chicago Rat Hole is just that: a rodent shaped hole in Chicago that was catapulted to stardom in January this year, spearheaded by a Twitter-wielding Chicagoan comedian, and the rest is history. Absolutely worth the read, especially considering Dunedin's recent events with rats and the way so many students bro’d out on the side of the rats.

SOMETHING TO LISTEN TO
‘Yoda eats Hamburger while my parents fight downstairs’

Again, exactly what it sounds like: following the banger that is LEGO™ Yoda CBT, the funny little green fella from Star Wars has diversified into the field of ASMR, with a good bit of mouth-squelching, squeaking, and rather pleased moaning, juxtaposed to the muffled sounds of an argument, but it is mainly drowned out by the borderline erotic munching of that viridescent elder of the Force.

SOMETHING TO GO TO
The campus clap spot

Not clap as in dem cheeks. This is even cooler than sex. The clap spot is in the middle of a circular red brick parking lot between Mellor Labs and the Science Lib. Stand in the middle, clap, and listen. Just do it. Trust us. You know you want to.

SOMETHING TO SUPPORT
Audio Visual Dropkicks new single, ‘Box Dyed Hair’

Put it in your calendars! Coming up March 8, the absolute troopers that make up the Audio Visual Drop Kicks have a new single ‘Box Dyed Hair’ coming out, and they are debuting it at U-Bar alongside Caribou and The Beatniks. Bound to be full of sweaty second-years, so to all you freshers wanting to get amongst the culture, be sure to turn up around opening to get a good spot.

SOMETHING TO CANCEL
Uncharged vibrators

There is nothing worse than being mid-wank after a long day and having your Satisfyer Pro die on you, forcing you to go manual like it’s the fucking medieval times. Treat this as a cautionary tale; remember to charge your vibrators.
