College is a time to try new experiences and broaden one’s horizons. The new found freedom gives many students the opportunity to try things they’ve been waiting for including the chance to legally get a tattoo.

If you have a tattoo you would like to share, email business@woostonian.com.

How Black is Black Enough
by Mamoudou N'Diaye

I’m a human being, first and foremost. That much is clear. When it comes down to it, I look for clear cut answers about everything. I look for the details in order to find the bigger picture. When it comes to race (more specifically, MY race), I’ve never been able to find that clarity I [...]

Safe, Sober & Smart Unrealistic
by Amiel Portillowein

Amiel Portillowein on why Wooster needs to move away from a sobriety-only substance policy.

The I.S. edition of Saad Sounds. Joined in the studio by DJ Ice Bear and DJ Body-dina. We get pretty musical in the studio as we perform Italian hits and we bring you the world premiere of Pandas and Kittens. We present a good mix of music for staying alive in the last few weeks of I.S. where we bring you a little Ennio Morricone, Sly & The Family Stone, and James Brown. Pandas and kittens…puh puh puh PANDAS!

Cuba: From Latin Jazz to new Urban Music

Todays show explores one evolution of Cuban music from Jazz to Urban Music. I will feature Chucho Valdez, Anga, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, and some new finds from Giles Peterson including Danay Suarez and Los Aldeanos.

Saad Sounds gets a little wacky. We are joined in the studio by our guest DJ Kiddo. We have some technical issues that cause us to improvise in the most professional way possible. Seriously professional. As always, we present an eclectic mix of music that will make you slightly perplexed about life. Starting off with the theme from The Battle of Algiers by Ennio Morricone we end the show with James Bonde by Bonde de Role.

This week on Saad Sounds we have two guest DJs. In the first part of our show we are joined by DJ K-Twizzle who joins DJ Adam in a LOTR Rap. Later in the show we are joined by DJ Body-Dina a Wooster graduate who shares her thoughts on the new Scot Center. As always, Saad Sounds brings you an eclectic mix of music that ranges from motown to punk and beyond.

This week on Saad Sounds present a chill and relaxed mix for those times when you wonder where you are going in life. We bring in some Grass Roots, Tom Waits, Aimee Allen, and more! Sit back relax and jam to this week’s music. Be sure to check out the Nicolas Cage news and look up the video on YouTube. Trust me… it’s worth it.

This week on Saad Sounds we are joined by DJ Partay as we discuss the most relevant news in Nicolas Cage’s life. Our guest DJ spins some nostalgic 90′s tracks. This time we talk about Nick Cage’s inability to recognize Ghost Rider: The Spirit of vengeance as a sequel. Maybe he’s in denial. As always on Saad Sounds we kick out the jams as if we were MC5.

The Joy of Booze

Between the Sheeps

Elicit a few “wows” today

Confidence is sexy, but it’s not always easy to feel it. The best piece of advice I’ve ever received for this dilemma is to walk like a goddess, or if you’re a man think walk like a god. Don’t let the Hallmark quality of this tidbit deter you from its potential wisdom, because it works spectacularly.
