Living Colour front man Corey Glover returns to Syracuse with funk band Galactic
In 1989, the rock group Living Colour came to Syracuse University to open for the Rolling Stones at the Carrier Dome. At the time, Boeheim's squad ranked in the top ten nationally, a democrat ran city hall, CNY had enjoyed a relatively mild winter and Carousel Mall was under construction (it was being built). So when Living Colour front man Corey Glover returned to the Salt City last night, he may have been eerily reminded of the past. After all, some things never change.

NewsHouse sits down with Canadian pop star Lights to talk superheroes, black metal and bloodsucking moths.
NewsHouse: So you said you’ve been to Syracuse before. Do you have any memories from when you played here last?
Lights: It always seems like one of those stops we make on tour for some reason. It’s cool, there’s always been a little something. When we first came down here in 2008, we played the same venue a couple times. When we first started there were maybe like 80 people that showed up. It’s fun, there’s always people that show up. There’s definitely a special vibe.

Thursday, Feb. 2: Ludacris and Rick Ross co-headline University Union's massive inaugural Rock the Dome event at the Carrier Dome. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 8 p.m.
The NewsHouse music writers look ahead to 2012 and talk about some of the albums we're looking forward to the most.
Chris Baker, Lead Producer
Mumford & Sons, TBA
It’s been more than two years since their breakout album Sigh No More hit the shelves and launched the Irish folkies’ careers. The debut album, however, will be tough to top. Their highly-anticipated sophomore album (expected to be released early this year) will either solidify the band as revolutionary folk revivalists or one-hit wonders. Expect the former.

Chris Conley plays old favorites and new songs at the Lost Horizon, with help from a few local acts.
Saves the Day frontman Chris Conley's singing is a laborious process. When he reaches up for the high notes, his face scrunches up, resembling an overbearing grandmother looking for a child's cheeks to pinch.
For all that work, however, his uniquely high-pitched, emo-drenched voice crooned the audience at the Lost Horizon on Saturday during an acoustic show at the typically heavy rock venue.
The two Southern rappers will co-headline University Union's inaugural winter concert at the Carrier Dome.

Preview: Long Beach neo-new wavers to play Schine with lone lead-singer.
In 2007 three dudes from Long Beach began making music. Again.
Singer-guitarist David Quon, bass player Derek VanHeule, and drummer Nathan Warkentin had been playing together in various formations for almost a decade, but this new venture was simpler and more organic than anything they’d done before.
“The previous band we were playing in had kind of fizzled out and we thought that we were going to put music aside for a while,” said Quon. “But I’d had some ideas and we sort of started creating again; it was really fresh and easy.”
Good catch. Thanks. :)
And Nate -- Thanks for the awesome list. Looks like there's some pretty great stuff coming up!! I'll totally be at that Portugal The Man show, with bells on.
Paramore is a no-brainer and they should probably be at #1, since at least Animal Collective has a significant amount of talent (I think so, anyway. Although I probably agree with the "overrated"...
