Pub Crawl
The third annual Oregon Voice Pub Crawl was a success in that we all got extremely faded. It was a failure in that we made it to only five of the 10 bars that we set out to review. photos COLETTE LEVESQUE RENNIE’S LANDING words NOAH DEWITT By a twist of fate, the first bar [...]
Pint of Love
What’s better than a big hunk of grapefruit for breakfast? A lot of things. But if you’re in the tart citrus delicious arena, why not go for a pint of blood orange sorbet? You get the best of so many worlds. The taste is one of those tastes where you’re forced to close your eyes for [...]
Morning Glory
It’s 5:30 and I don’t want to drink any more bad coffee. I can’t stop thinking about how bad this badness is in front of me. Dux Bistro, I’m sorry, but you just can’t fulfill my needs. Your joe is like liquid dust reheated in a microwave several times over. I’m not one to pour [...]
Garbanzo Journalism
I’ve been in Hawaii for two days. I just found the following words scribbled in my notepad. I assume I wrote them. • The theme of this airplane adventure: I wonder what my pupils look like. • [My roommate] Shining Grass drove me to the airport. After passing her my lighter, and momentarily grabbing the [...]
No Bananas?
I’ve always had mixed feelings about bananas. The taste has never been anything particularly tantalizing to my tongue, and the texture inspires no excitement across my neural pathways. Plus, they are one of the most awkward foods to eat around people whose maturity levels are not around the sophisticated level. In fact, I hardly ever [...]
Pie Love
Cupcakes, hold on to your frosting hats and paper lining coats, because your little fluffy minds are about to be blown. I don’t care how much sanding sugar or pastel fondant is atop your sweet heads. You’ll never measure up to the food trend that’s about to displace you. Pie is more than a three-letter [...]

Anoche a la otra teatro…
I’m guessing that if you went to a show Sunday night, it was Mac Miller’s act at the WOW Hall. Well I myself attended ‘Dance Hall Rasta’ with Anthony B and Medium Troy at the McDonald Theatre. Upon my arrival at the venue, it became apparent that it was going to be a low key [...]
Yo Tomchak …
… if you weren’t already going to link it, check out the Phil Knight interview that the Oregonian’s Allan Brettman did. Our sports-drunk Uncle describes his unique relationship with the university and offers some sober thoughts on Nike, Secret Telephones, and the financial future of the UO. Think of it as the Beats, Ryhmes and [...]
Phantogram Speaks of Melting Pots, Dreams, and the Internet
Phantogram is a duo formed in 2007 by Joshua Carter and Sarah Barthel in Saratoga Springs, New York. Their music could be labeled ‘trip-hop/electronic/experimental.’ Their music could be described as yo yo yo meets ooh la la. They are playing at Misssissippi Studios in Portland, Wednesday the 13th at 9pm. I interviewed Josh over the [...]
OV Rollin’
The Oregon Voice is goin’ all green an’ shit. With the help of Dawgs’ Ram, Cara, Mary, Noah and a newly adopted Nowist attitude the OV has its first bike in its ever expanding distribution fleet. Keep your eyes open for the primary-colored mobile distribution unit for the freshest issues.
Coachella 2010: In This Economy?
Every April, the tumbleweed-strewn town of Indio, CA welcomes a youthful mob roughly three times the size of the UO student body. The patrons suffer three days of sunburn, body odor, dehydration, and monetary exploitation in exchange for a chance to see performances by a pantheon of musical gods and goddesses. The art installations, trance-inducing [...]
Nancy Drew and the Case of the Broken Voice Box
“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 [...]
A Glimpse of the Eugene Music Scene
Because I am still in Eugene for spring break, I get the pleasure of discovering what our local musicians are producing and performing. Good Friday, The Horribalistics, Tullis, Drebin and a Vision in Gray who are all from around the area got to strut their stuff for a short set at WOW hall. I arrived [...]
Jim Beam Ad Rips Us Off
This is just too much. We’re filing for compensation currently. Have it be known that we originally called it “Rent-A-Puppy” but expanded to “Pooch” because we believe old dogs can do new tricks and deserve the chance to help with dating.
Oregon Voice Mini-doc circa 2008
As part of Allen Hall Productions, a series of short documentaries were made for each student publication at the University of Oregon. Here’s the one that was created for the Oregon Voice. Thanks to Abby Silverman and Christina Diamond for the video. Please refrain from laughing (too hard) at our interview shyness.
OV Summer Progress Report
