Whatever your situation may be, the perfect Valentine's Day gift is very affordable, thoughtful and quite simple - a song. Anybody who argues the gift of music isn't a good one might have never been lucky enough to receive such a gift.

Game design power-quartet RUST, LTD. may appear to be just four guys with great beards. However, the group is starting to gain national recognition for its award-winning ideas.

What began as a studio project in Rochester, N.Y. four years ago manifested into what is now AudioInflux - a name describing the twist and turn of harmonic material into something tangible, hard-hitting and downright funky.

Those pesky musicians are always the hardest people to shop for. Music gear is so expensive and precise that it makes loved ones afraid to buy anything other than a Guitar Center gift card. While this would be better than buying the wrong thing, gift cards never seem quite as thought out - it's the thought that counts, right? Let's break it down so you all become expert gift-givers. (I sure hope my parents read this.)

Mike Donohue suspends himself a few inches off of a white carpet while he holds on rigorously. His shoulder is in excruciating pain, still pulsing from the surgery, but he works through it.

Screenwriter Richard Linklater's (Bernie) animated film Waking Life depicts the ideas of dreams and consciousness, opening the screen to debate the act of being a proactive human in society. One line, spoken by a suicidal J.C. Shakespeare, describes the methods behind voting bluntly.

Barista Cecilia Pershyn, 21, fires up the cappuccino machine and turns on the European-style lights hanging over the marble counter. With each slight action - warming up the grill, picking a playlist on the stereo - she slowly awakens the caf?(c). As she looks up through her rectangular frames, she knows it's 7:30 a.m. - not by the hands on the clock, but by the group of men standing outside.

The ring of the subway and roar of sirens cast over the fluttering lights of Buffalo's entertainment district. A few die-hard fans wait in the sharp air that bites through their jingle-skirts, peacock hats and hemp shoes.

According to Paul Auster's novel The Locked Room: "We exist for ourselves, perhaps, and at times we even have a glimmer of who we are, but in the end we can never be sure, and as our lives go on, we become more and more opaque to ourselves, more and more aware of our own incoherence."

This special edition of Adrien's Audio Den is designed specifically with a low budget in mind. The products in this list may not perform as well as their professional grade counterparts but they do still serve their purpose and will save quite a bit of moolah while music-lovers pay off their college tuition.

Inside the grain elevators, orange wires sling past concrete walls as work lamps cast uneasy shadows across the massive hoppers that extend down from above. Metallic beams reach over and fix themselves above an electrical box that reads "Cross Belt."

On stage, it's a glorious hazard. The shake and rattle of strings as precise increments of wavelength dictate the harmonic spurs and groove pockets. The struggle to hear a single note while siphoning 120 decibels of sound in the opposite direction. The careful attention of 20, 40, or 24,000 apprehensive ears as the spotlight destroys any possible subtlety.

I am thrilled to introduce a brand new weekly series aimed at our campus' audio heads. For people who take music seriously - whether they're guitarists, DJs, producers, or simply avid listeners - it's all about the gear. By starting this series of reviews, I want to help bring music lovers on campus the thirst for gizmos that we seem to share in the music biz. Headphones, guitar amps, microphones, studio equipment, DJ interfaces and just about anything that turns electricity into sound will be reviewed by yours truly. And of course, with the average student's budget in mind, I will try to find devices for the frugally inclined.

Here are some back-to-school albums to look forward to while the campus turns slowly into a giant icicle. This list is a mere centimeter out of the yards of album releases this fall.
