This Year’s College-Campus Band Of Choice Will Make You Step Out On A Ledge

According to our most recent reader survey, more than four percent of our readers attended college, meaning that a few of you are familiar with the end-of-the-school-year ritual known as the spring concert (or, as it’s more commonly know, Bongs-n-Songs). Usually, said concerts feature an impossibly diverse, committee-picked line-up, but IvyGate has detected a peculiar trend among some of this year’s line-ups:

We did a quick survey to see which schools booked which bands to perform at their spring concerts. The results are, frankly, stunning:

Brown – The Flaming Lips, Soulive, The Roots, Stardeath and White Dwarfs, Misson of Burma, Yo La Tengo

Cornell – T.I., TV on the Radio

Columbia – Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Blackalicious

Dartmouth – Third Eye Blind

Harvard – Third Eye Blind

Penn – Ben Folds, Third Eye Blind

Princeton – Third Eye Blind

Yale – T.I., Sister Hazel

We won’t begrudge the charms of “Semi-Charmed Life,” but are there any college students out there who’d actually want to hear an entire circa-2007 3EB set? Or has the ’90s revival suddenly taken a new and more terrible direction?
