Scum of the Earth tour infests the Trocadero
By Jason Cominetto ('10)/ Eastside Online's GodThe Scum of the Earth tour finally made its way into Philly on Sunday, and I jumped at the chance to see one of my favorite bands, Soilwork, play. I had already seen Through the Eyes of the Dead in the past and knew they could put on a good show, and I was looking forward to Throwdown’s simple yet heavy sound taking the place by storm. Excited, I walked into the Trocadero only to find the venue a little less packed than I had hoped, with hardly any of the floor area filled. On top of that, it looked like Through the Eyes of the Dead was not going to play after all, as there was no merchandise of theirs among the other bands’ products.
Bullet For My Valentine misses their mark with “Scream Aim Fire”
By Jason Cominetto ('10)/ Eastside Online's GodBullet For My Valentine’s “Scream Aim Fire” really makes me question where metal fans are heading nowadays. It debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 when it was released earlier this year, selling 53,000 copies in its first week out. It is also the second album out of a five-album deal the band made with Sony BMG. So why exactly is this a bad thing? Simply put, this is bad because this album is one of the worst examples of modern metal I have heard so far, and should not be selling at the rate it has.
TV shows return from the dead
By Caroline Babula ('09)/ Eastside StaffNow that the 14-week long Writer’s Guild of America Strike is over, the TV world is in limbo in regards to new episodes.
But some shows such as NBC’s Chuck and Heroes, ABC’s Pushing Daisies and Private Practice and FOX’s 24 will not return until the fall.
Even though the networks have opted for these shows to forgo new episodes until the new season begins, many other shows will continue their seasons as early as this month, with most series returning in April.
Greek, the hit show about sorority and fraternity college life, on ABC Family, will return on March 23.

March Madness 2008: ACC
By Zack Rosenblatt (’09)/ Eastside StaffOn November 5, there were 341 different schools competing at the Division I level. In a just a few days, on March 16, that number will be reduced to 65. And the most exhilarating games college basketball has to offer will commence.
Conference tournaments are wrapping up, and Selection Sunday is, well, on Sunday. I’ve chosen some teams from each conference that I believe have a shot at being a part of the 65 team field announced on Sunday.
