Call everyone! Teddy gave his seat up to a Republican! It’s sad to see there will actually have to be discussion again on the senate floor about issues like health care. I wonder how such a thing could happen. After all, the Democratic nominee, Martha Coakley, was ahead by large margins only a few weeks [...]

Barack Obama ran his successful 2008 presidential campaign based largely on the catchphrases “hope” and “change.” For every person that clung to these words and took them to heart, there was somebody else that would mock them, brushing them off as nothing more than campaign tools to win over the mindless. As cliché as it [...]

People who’ve read this site somewhat regularly since its inception have probably garnered that I don’t throw my hat in the ring with the local folk-haters. By contrast, I love folk music and particularly Provo’s unique brand of indie-folk that increasingly populates our venues. I know some wish for “more rock and roll” in our [...]

There’s been some griping recently (including some by folks at this publication) about the amount of indie-folk bands that permeate the local scene. Well, for those of you who hold that opinion, Friday night’s four-year anniversary show at Velour Live Music Gallery was tailor-made for you — not a folkie with a microphone in the [...]

Have plans for the weekend? Well, if you don’t, I’ve got you covered. If you do, you have new ones now. Have you ever imagined yourself ice skating in a sexy cocktail dress (or suit)? This Friday, your dreams can come true. With a descriptively long name, the “Back-in-Town Black Tie Dance Party” is the [...]

Corey Fox, owner of Velour Live Music Gallery, has been working with local bands since the early 1990s — longer than just about anyone else in these parts. His venue has consistently provided a quality outlet for Provo’s musicians to play and promote their music in a convenient space right in downtown Provo for four [...]

I would like to say first that I am more excited to write this specific article than any other in my journalism career. Yes, that would only include about 10 high school sports section articles about the local football teams and JV tennis, and only one previous Rhombus article up to this point, but let [...]

It’s the moment you’ve all been anxiously awaiting — the first PB&J Report of the new decade! Our fearless podcasters tackle the month of sports they missed over their holiday vacation, including (but certainly not limited to) a final wrap-up of the college football bowl season, the meteoric rise of BYU basketball, and “Wild Card [...]

Dear Provo, Let me just say first that I love you. I really do. I mean, I know that I would never brag about you to my friends living in other places (except for Rexburg) or ever think to claim you as my absolute favorite place to live, and I would be hard-pressed to hear [...]

This year might just belong to Sandra Bullock. Besides getting some decent award nominations and buzz, her latest film The Blind Side reached the $200 million milestone at the domestic box office on January 1st. That’s an accomplishment for any movie, but in this case it’s particularly important because, according to this Entertainment Weekly posting, [...]
