It’s time for our exciting first look at NSOP 2008! Seems as if this year’s festivities will not include the traditional Orientation Concert on the Steps. You’ll recall that last year Clipse performed with the World Famous Vampire Weekend.
A Columbia Concerts insider explained that it’s “not entirely clear” why there’s no concert, only that “we’re trying to put all of our eggs into the Bacchanal Concert basket, I guess.” He also promises that the Spring Concert will be huge.

@clearly any one of any gender or sexual orientation can rape or be raped. don’t be ignorant
@... wbar puts on really good shows, and lots of those bands become huge. they’re just promoted really poorly.
@yea well we just need beyonce and jay-z
@... pray tell, how did last year suck if both grizzly bear and the national are two of the biggest live acts in the country right now?
@... the only thing that sucked about last year was that i was too slow and i didn’t get tix before they sold out…
oh… that and it was indoors. they should do an outdoor show in riverside park when the weather is nice.
@*** it sucked because they suck
@maybe because it takes 3 years of nyc indoctrination for the frosh to become pitchfork loving hipsters so they couldn’t appreciate the brilliance of those bands?
@umm I don’t know what world you live in, but it is clearly not the real world.
@jennycansuckit i phoned that one in to bwog last week and no one even cared. what is this godforsaken place coming to?
@wondering bwog, what’s being filmed outside right now? lots of trailers on broadway, and cameras around earl hall.

@CC '45 *siiiiigh* I remember when Bela Bartok came to play at MY orientation concert. Columbia Concerts has really gone down the shitter since then.
@CC '1816 Good Sir,
I remember when the Committee for the Musical Enjoyment at the Orientational Ball chartered a ship and brought Beethoven to our Orientational Ceremonies at College Hall.
I find myself rolling over in my grave ever year when I hear of new acts!
Good Day, sire, I say, GOOD DAY!
@... I think pulling the money together for a BIG spring concert is a good idea. We could get The Fray!
@ianc-b this is the worst idea that i’ve ever heard.
@... What do you know about music!? Fray 4 eva!!!!!!!!
@NEWSFLASH BWOG COMMENTER SLANDERS WOMEN UNDER VEIL OF ANONYMITY FILM AT ELEVEN
…in other news, NSOP still sucks, helium lifts balloon…
@Actually, It’s libel, slander is spoken
@Disgruntled Human It’s NOT the same as last year, jackass.
@alumnus *remembering wyclef and kanye…
@... I think pulling the money together for a BIG spring concert is a good idea. Though that’s assuming they actually do a good job in the spring and get a cool act…… this last spring suuuucked
@uggh if in a few years the national become a household name, you’re going to be singing a different tune…
@muzikphan except that grizzly bear has much better chance at that.
@hahahahaha ha ha ha ha ha HA! HA!
@Disgruntled OL NSOP is going to be terrible this year. Already saw that their “New York” event was the same thing they did last year. So lame!
@2012er what are some of the activities that will happen during orientation i heard about a trip to the met???
@hmm the best thing you should look forward to is the group rape-talk (as opposed to group-rape talk) they will have. The key lesson there is, if you have a penis, you are the rapist.
@2009 Remember the “mixer” they held on the flight deck of the USS Intrepid?
@uhh NSOP doesn’t pay for or deal with the concert. Columbia Concerts deals with concerts, NSOP only places it in their books.
@What I Heard SDA has been cutting budgets all over the place; I don’t think NSOP could afford a concert during orientation this year.
