12.19.2010: Preempted!

The Campus Buzz was preempted by basketball this week (the Seton Hall men's team defeated NJIT--see, we can talk about sports sometimes!). This might be a blessing in disguise, since G-Rated was rocking out at WSOU's (Not So) Silent Night down at Starland, and the Violet Femme has flown south for the winter. But never fear, indie fans, because the show will be back this Sunday for a post-Christmas alt rock jam session. Until then, enjoy the holiday season :)
