“Nancy! Come quick. There’s trouble on the University of Oregon campus!” Noah exclaimed. His brow was furrowed, he looked concerned.
“Oh my goodness!” Nancy yelped.
“I biked all the way back to the Campbell Club after leaving the Dance-Off just to tell you about it, since you’re such a super mystery-solver,” added Scot, Editor-in-Chief of the Oregon Voice. He was exasperated.
Nancy Drew’s blue eyes twinkled. “Tell me the details!” she urged them.
The two boys explained to Nancy that there had been a Dance-Off between the Oregon Voice and Ethos Magazine that night. On his way home after celebrating a glorious victory, Noah had come to find that the Voice distribution box near the library had been broken.
“It was fully intact when I left work at the library this afternoon,” Scot related.
“Let’s not be hasty,” Nancy insisted. “After all, while it seems we have an idea of exactly the kind of person who would do such a thing, we can never be sure.”
The boys agreed. Alas, Nancy had another case to solve, and she would not rest until she brought the culprits to justice.
Until the next chapter… I leave you all with this image of a very sad Noah the next morning when we scoped the scene in the daylight…
Pitchfork has released an article announcing that Andrew WK and one of my personal favorite hip-hop groups, People Under the Stairs, have collaborated and created a new variation of Danny Elfman’s Simpson’s theme song. It will air in the end credits on January 16th’s all new episode. Will you check it out? I know I will.
The headline of today’s Oregon Daily Emerald boldly states: ”Passion’ drummer parties solo,’ in reference to the Passion Pit house party Friday night that was orchestrated by the Oregon Voice and The Nudelman in lieu of the band entirely postponing (Don’t say ‘cancelling’!) their performance that was scheduled to take place in the EMU Ballroom.
Of course, the Emerald headline is in need of correction.
In fact, 4/5 of the band were in attendance at the house party, along with DJ E603 and members of their crew. But whether or not it was Nate solo or with his comrades is irrelevant (Save for, you know, being accurate with headlines.) What matters is that the fine students at the University of Oregon didn’t get completely short-changed. The infectious tunes, loops and beats Nate delivered certainly highlighted an otherwise dark and dreary Eugene night.
Unlike the embedded video courtesy of Ivar at the Emerald suggests, the impromptu party was most certainly off-le-hook and came to a head in the early morning hours when swarms of police officers arrived to disperse the near 250+ people that packed the 12th and Washington basement.
The house received a $750 noise violation. No MIPs or furnishing citations were given.

There’s a naked raccoon on the loose in Toronto. We’re working with the Cultural Forum to book it for a show at Agate Hall next year. It’ll be better than Fleet Foxes.
Oregon Voice Magazine is paid for and produced by students at the University of Oregon. Our weekly meeting is on Wednesday at 6pm in Century Room E. Contributors are welcome.
