Their creative anti-twitter song

12 DT vlogs and 2 years later, it's official.

Ben Naecker (C'09, Water Polo) and Blake West (W'09, Jazz Combos), the Penn alumni friends who moved to Austin to pursue music and swore that "real jobs were not my forte" have split up because of "real jobs".

After the jump watch their final episode where:
  • Ben and Blake talk about the wisdom they've gained
  • Listen to and download the 3 of their new songs
  • and find out what their individual future plans are
On behalf of all Penn alumni musicians and Penn alumni daring to live out a dream, thank you Blake and Ben for letting us follow you on your journey over these past 2 years and best of luck in the future!

Check out these Penn Pumpkins!



To cap off our 2011 Halloween series, I've got a final treat from one of our alumni.

Take a look at this great pumpkin carving handiwork from Penn alum Dennie Zastrow!

Be sure to check out this Penn carved pumpkin too!

Happy Halloween everyone!




The touching reason why she's not afraid of ghosts

UPenn and Jill Goldberg and ghosts and Halloween


I've covered singer-songwriter Jill Goldberg (C'04, Dischord A Cappella, Penn Choir, Wind Ensemble) on DT before and have been saving this great music video of hers for Halloween because I really like this song and there were some cool animated ghosts floating around in the video.

However, what I didn't know until yesterday was the moving backstory behind this song.

After the jump, watch the video and learn about the touching reason why her perspective about ghosts has changed over the years.

The only thing worse than zombies is racist zombies

Halloween and Zombies and UPenn and Carlin Adelson

Carlin Adelson and UPennOne more day 'til Halloween and as part of our Halloween series, I've got a somewhat wrong, yet very funny treat for you all.

After the jump, watch a short about "racist zombies" from Carlin Adelson (C'09, West Philly Tutoring, Sigma Kappa) and her Upright Citizens Brigade trained sketch comedy group "The Charlies".

Watch until the end!
