Local Corner - Artist Spotlight: Boxed Wine

University student Ralph Nicastro always has his hands involved in musical projects, and his newest endeavor is the most serious of them all. His new band, Boxed Wine, recently released an EP, “Cheap, Fun.” In a word, the band’s music is upbeat. “Cheap, Fun,” is the band’s second release, but this one serves as a precursor to its full-length LP, which will include some of the same tunes.

Starland Shuffle: The Aftermath of Superstorm Sandy Affects A Major Music Venue In Central Jersey

The Starland Ballroom is a top-selling cornerstone venue in the New York metropolitan area. Located in Sayreville, N.J., Superstorm Sandy’s wrath extended far enough to cause substantial damage to Starland and all of its inner-properties. “Hurricane Sandy devastated our electrical system and damaged our sound, lighting, heating/cooling and plumbing systems – all necessary ingredients in operating a public venue,” Starland’s management stated on their Facebook page. The Raritan River’s flooding has knocked Starland off its feet, and it has been shut down until the spring of 2013. Nov 29 2012

Desert Island Survivor

It's Thanksgiving and it's time to see your grandparents. You buy plane tickets weeks in advance because that's the sensible thing to do. Coach, of course, because you're in college. You get up early in the morning and you slog through airport security. You're pulled aside and subjected to a cavity search because you look suspicious. You board the plane and order a beverage and peanuts. But then, all of a sudden, TURBULENCE!!! Oh no! The pilot's been drinking, and now the passenger cabin smells like imminent engine failure. You brace for impact before blacking out. You later wake up to the fiery wreck that sits in front of you. You're all alone on an island. You manage to salvage a few essential provisions, like a 4G LTE receiver, but you can only take one thing from the cargo bay, which is on FIRE. What would you take? Inside Beat has the answers!

Pop Culture Trial: Innocent or Guilty?

Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, guilty pleasures, such as Jersey Shore or Justin Bieber, lurk in our DVRs and playlists. One delinquent iPod shuffle or deviant ticket purchase, if discovered, could lead to ridicule and embarrassment from our social circles. So we keep them tucked away even though on some level, we really enjoy these pop culture fetishes. However, not all guilty pleasures were created equal. Some are more benign than others. This week, Inside Beat has rounded up prime suspects and either brandished them with a scarlet letter or acquitted them of their crimes. Jan 19 2012
