According to the online publication MinnPost.com, the reggae/ska syncopations of Jon Wayne & the Pain "not only propel you onto the dance floor," but "do so with a positive message about the struggles of life." Of course, speaking personally, I find that propelling myself onto the dance floor is one of the struggles of life.

"Assassin's Creed II": A Minor Masterpiece of the Renaissance

By Luke Hamilton

Assassin's Creed II

Assassin's Creed got a justifiably mixed response when it was released in 2007. I loved it for its free-running style in a giant open-world setting and its perspective on religious history, but I also loathed it because of the repetitive missions and the lack of combat AI. With the newly released sequel, the developers go a long way toward fulfilling their promise to address players' complaints about the original.

The Quad City Symphony Orchestra's Masterworks III

Adler Theatre and Augustana College

Saturday, December 5, and Sunday, December 6

 

The Quad City Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of conductor Mark Russell Smith, is set to debut the third of its season's six Masterworks concerts. And while the presentations will no doubt be exhilarating, I'll be honest: I'm feeling a bit intimidated just writing about them.
