MEISA Presents: Paul Simon’s Graceland Journey – Under African Skies

Movie Screening Up Ahead…

Under African Skies allows Simon to address critics from the era who insisted he was wrong to work on Graceland in South Africa during the United Nations’ cultural boycott of the country — a key strategy in the fight against apartheid.

The 10-day shoot in South Africa reunites former Graceland collaborators such as Ladysmith Black Mambazo for an anniversary concert.

It’s finals week, and you’re probably looking for a nice excuse to stop studying for bit — well, look no more! Fresh off the presses is this Writers Talk video with fellow MEISA member — Lisa Heineman — interviewing Adam Lazzara, John Nolan, and Shaun Cooper of Taking Back Sunday.

February (AKA Awesome Explosion Month)

Music, Laughter, & Food – OSU Style

We came, we saw, we STOMPED.

So this month started off with a bang, or should I say, a STOMP — as we had a social event where we watched, listened, and laughed at people making music with things. Just so you know, it was better than we were expecting — totally worth the $0 we paid, but we definitely would have shelled out some clams to see it again. Just a quick thought — but there should be a dubstep version of STOMP called dubSTOMP.

Anyway – Read on to check out the rest of what we’re going to be up to this month!

Internship Super Fun & Funny Men!

WANTED: Work Experience

So you’ve wanted to get into the music business? Getting some work experience isn’t a must, but it’s extremely recommended so you can put it on your résumé, network like a boss, and also just to see if it’s what you’d want to do for a career. This week we’re going to have a couple of our members share their internship experiences.

This Wednesday: Awesome (And Free) OSU Event

Also, there happens to be an awesome event being held at the Ohio Union: OUAB & OSU Hillel Present Funny Men: An Inside Look into What Makes America Laugh this Wednesday. The doors open at 6pm, and the show starts at 7pm — and it features Doug Ellin – the head writer of Entourage, Kenny Schwartz – executive producer and writer for American Dad!, & David Javerbaum – the former head writer and executive producer of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

So, see you guys Tuesday and Wednesday this week, and let’s try to be awesome. Hell yeah.
