Like the lyrics of the song used in the trailers, I wanted this movie to “give me something to believe in,” but what I received was a standard, run-of-the-mill action sci-fi movie.
Around 1:45 p.m. Sunday, guitarist Jack Montesinos, keyboardist Joe Roddy and drummer Nico Leophonte casually walked on, accruing a collection of cheers and claps from the crowd.

Just a few feet from the stage they would soon play on, I got to sit down for a quick interview with Josh Lambert, Yvonne Lambert and Toto Miranda from the ever-so-versatile psych rock group, The Octopus Project.

Raise your hand if you have ever felt personally victimized by a movie soundtrack.
There are just two more weeks until Baylor students get to go home for Thanksgiving break. In the meantime, here is some new music to get you over the hump of last-minute exams, projects and mid-semester stress.
