Before you head out to the movies, take a quick look at your bookshelf. Chances are, you’ve probably read the book for whichever movie you’re planning on watching.

Music has evolved over time, but sometimes new isn’t always better. All songs have their own merits, but not all are created equal. Let’s compare a few old favorites to new tracks in a fierce old vs. new match-up.

Remember “Bug a Boo”? “I Want It That Way”? What about “Cry Me A River”? In the midst of boy bands like One Direction and The Wanted creating new reasons for girls to throw their panties on the stage, the 90s can be heard yelling, “Don’t forget about me!”

Whether you’re packing your flips-flops for a tropical getaway or heading home for some quality family time, every spring break needs a perfect playlist. Looking for some inspiration? Valley has your music needs covered for Spring Break 2013.

Well, we say: you don’t need a significant other to celebrate the Hallmark holiday. All you need is a friend and a couple of good ideas.

They’re creepy and they’re kooky—and they’re here just in time for Valentine’s Day. Musical comedy “The Addams Family” will be making a stop at the Eisenhower Auditorium on Feb. 14 as part of their touring schedule. They’ll bring their all-together spookiness to the stage, and while the singing and dancing will be something the audience will surely remember, the costumes are something that will stick out, too!

Every girl’s endured them, but only some of us are actually swooned by them. They can be found at every party and street corner, and some are wanted—others are not. What else could make or break a first impression than a pick-up line?

It’s undeniable; funny cat photos are hysterical and always have been, but the cat craze has never been more fanatical than during this era alone.

Sometimes listening to the radio or leaving it up to the iPod shuffle gods is simply not enough. Here’s an hour-long playlist that is sure to raise your spirits during all your gym endeavors.

Can’t wait for Sunday and rooting for the underdog? Or maybe you don’t even know what punt returns, first downs or field goals are? Well, you don’t need to know all of the rules of football to throw an awesome Super Bowl party.

The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Queen, Adele. Does “Spice Up Your Life” bring back any memories? It looks like 2013 will bring on yet another wave of British musicians, this time set on invading American pop music.

When Sharleen Chidiac is on stage performing her original music, she said she feels “frazzled,” but in the “best way possible.”
