German Outreach Day

Interested in German culture? The University's Germanic Languages and Literatures Department, in conjunction with the Center for German Studies, will be presenting German Outreach Day March 22 from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Newcomb Hall Ballroom.


Activities planned for German Outreach Day include the second annual Declamation Contest; a commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall; and a piano concert featuring the music of Brahms.

Yeasayer - ONE (Video)

Yeasayer's new album is wonderfully accessible psychedelic pop. It's also wonderfully strange. tableau staffer Campbell Bird aptly described their sound in his review.

"If you took Animal Collective, paired them with a barbershop quartet and sent them into outer space to form a band and record an album, you might be approaching the musical oddball that is Yeasayer."

I couldn't agree more. The video for "ONE" is completely deranged, and every description I came up with for it beyond that sucked. Just watch the video. It features a guy whose face appears to be melting and someone swimming in a tank of goldschlager.

Mission Accomplished


Normally here at Mise-en-Scène, we strive to bring you the best entertainment the world has to offer. With that mission statement in mind, I may retire from tableau after this post. R. Kelly, Tyrese, Robin Thicke and The Dream have made a truly momentous artistic statement, and in the process set an insurmountable bar for all who follow "Pregnant."

"Girl... If you choose me, I guarantee the rest of your life will be man-drama free,
ooooo ooooo ooooo."
