Cozy up to acoustic tunes at Earth House on Thursday, then return to the Yurt for existential funk with Goldwash or a devotional thicket woven by Loone and Paper Bee. For an aggressive Saturday bedroom pop experience, dive into Olivia Neutron-John's razor-edged black hole of groove in the glass and steel of  Zelnick Pavilion. Or, soak up the hype vibes of Montclair NJ's soulful Topaz Jones. He'll be with Yale rapper Zack Sekoff. Sprinkle in a couple of senior theses and recitals, and finish off your weekend with a cool-down lap through the WESU Record Fair Sunday afternoon.

This weekend, some Wes alumni crawl back from the dark reaches of real life to make sounds, N.Y.C.-based L.A. hip-hop turns up, Vassar visits, and new Wes bands debut primordial music.

Step up to the counter and sample many flavors of indie-rock, Wesleyan's tried and true favorite. It shreds, it croons, and it's got a hot drummer. Look at zir hair. College!

It's a weekend of swaggering afro-house, Disney surgery, "electric rock," art songs, Blink-182?, naming a party The Party, 50% of foundational post-modern mythic folk, floetry round 2, and Sloopyness.
