Tunes to curb your mind's hunger

The right music can set the tone for any occasion. Whether it's a slow beat to impress your date, a fun steel drum sound for a summer BBQ, a heavy rock song to eat a bowl of wings to or a tangy country twang, music changes the way we feel, the way we engage with people and even how we taste our food.

March madness: Spring video game preview

In November, when Playstation 4 and Xbox One debuted, gamers had a new console to play for the first time in eight years. And with highly anticipated games like Destiny, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Watch Dogs coming out this year, the outlook for 2014 is promising. In addition to the games coming out for the next generation consoles, there are plenty of great games coming out for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 this year.

A promising winter in Buffalo

Even in the midst of the holidays, winter can be a disheartening time for many college students spending the break in Buffalo. Oscillating between loving and hating the seemingly endless snowfall, battling depression caused by the disappointing performances of local sports teams and waiting for the cessation of boredom caused by weeks away from the classroom are common pastimes during this frigid season. Thankfully, there will be a little more to look forward to this winter aside from hitting the slopes or clearing your driveway of snow due to a wide variety of musical performances planned at many venues around the city. For those looking to cap off their semester on a good note and combat finals week stress, Boston post-hardcore band Lions Lions will be performing at the Waiting Room on Delaware Avenue on Friday.
