Music can be the heart and soul of a community, and in special cases, the heart and soul of a college dorm. The Third Floor is a student band that has its roots in Capstone House on campus. Humble beginnings to be sure, but a fateful meeting on the third floor of the building would define the Columbia student music scene. The story of playing on the floors of Capstone to opening for COIN consists of a years-long journey and hours of rehearsals that ultimately brought vocalist and guitarist Ryan Pellatt, bassist Neal Goldberg, lead guitarist Carter Vogt, and drummer and vocalist Nick Guzman to the mighty stage of Cockstock.

The horns could be heard through the dorms' centuries-old walls. It was mid-October and, under the browning leaves of the historic oak trees, the Left Bank Big Band was sound-checking for "Jazz on the Horseshoe." The show was a democratic project; its open-air format and lack of an entrance fee made the concert accessible for all spectators. However, jazz music's history in Columbia has long been influenced by questions of access, with historical contexts shaping concert bookings long before the saxophone played its first note. On the Horseshoe that night, itself a palimpsest of Columbia's wrought social history, the capital city continued the musical legacy stretching back to the Township Auditorium, the Main Street Jazz Festival, Barkoot's Lake Lodge and the Big Apple.

Popular music from South Korea, otherwise known as K-pop, has been gaining traction in America in recent times. One could say that the unprecedented success of PSY’s “Gangnam Style” in 2012 marked the beginning of this trend. The legendary boy group BTS, along with the acclaimed girl group BLACKPINK, are also regarded as trailblazers of the genre. From BTS being named TIME’s Entertainer of the Year in 2020 to Blackpink headlining Coachella in 2023, K-pop has remained a facet of American pop culture—and its popularity doesn’t seem to be slowing down. In 2022, the US generated 6.6 billion K-pop streams. As for 2023? A whopping 9.2 billion.

While “it hurts to hope for more,” supergroup boygenius — consisting of musicians Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus — has gifted the world a new project worth taking a risk on. Their four-track EP "the rest" was released on October 13, seven months after the debut of their full-length album, "the record." Despite its name, "the rest" doesn’t consist of songs scrounged from the leftover pile of "the record." Throughout the EP’s four tracks, listeners embark on a voyage of self-acceptance that is imbued with the group’s trademark melancholic musings and expert lyricism.

Bell bottoms, shag haircuts, and statement sunglasses. They’re all trends from the 1970s that have resurfaced in the last couple of years. Or maybe, you think of motorcycle jackets, tartan, and Doc Martens. Though the two seem unlinked, both were styles associated with political and social oppositions, often known as counterculture.

Street performing has existed for centuries. It is a way for individuals to showcase their talents, express themselves and connect with their community. These small, unconventional and unexpected performances have the power to disrupt the bustle of a street and unite a crowd with a universal appreciation of a certain skill. A spirited performer who is willing to share their passion with their community allows onlookers to take a step out of their own lives and appreciate the art around them. People might stop for only a moment, or they might not stop at all, but in just a moment, street performers can remind us of the joy that can be found in creating, movement or art.
