This post, this final drive, and this crescendo of sound is a celebration of Syracuse University Football. This audio was captured during the final home game. SU became bowl eligible when they scored on this, their final possession of the regular season.
SU plays in the Texas Bowl on December 27, 2013 in Houston. Their opponent will be the University of Minnesota.

Our Reality, the Lyrical Phenom
You can have Justin Bieber; you can have Katy Perry, you can have Miley Cyrus; and you can even have Daft Punk. What excited us most this year in music was the return of our friend, Michael “Our Reality” Childs to the stage. We got to preview the Our Reality album at the beginning of 2013. He spent most of the summer touring. It has been 20 years since we’ve seen him perform, and we finally caught him ripping up the stage and kicking knowledge to a younger generation at the Westcott Theater last night. Ironically, Childs was on the bill with fellow West Coast Hip Hop heads Blackalicious.

Monday, December 9th, 2013Maybe the most progressive programming (artistic and otherwise) we’ve covered this year was held at the Community Folk Art Center this year. Here is a short clip of media personality George Kilpatrick talking about his radio endeavors during the CNY Mocha Men event produced by Me’Shae Brooks-Rolling.

Wednesday, December 4th, 2013Who says Syracuse isn’t a fashion destination. This year, after some delays, we finally got to experience the Syracuse Fashion Weekend Runway Show (above). There’s something about a runway show that brings out the best in the audience and the models. Street fashion coverage is good, but the experience of a big-time fashion event is just what this town needed.
Special thanks to Moda International, LSK Modeling Agency, the designers, and of course the genius collaboration known as, Lemon Elefant (sounds).

Jazz singer Gregory Porter (pictured here at the Syracuse Jazz Fest) gave a genre-bending performance that nearly parted the waters at Jamesville Beach. Easily the best performance we saw in 2012.
Flute player Wouter Kellerman made his Syracuse debut and ended up dancing and playing up a storm at the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival.
Mike Houston and Anjela Lynn brought their soulful show to the Hill and easily became the most popular group to play the Sitrus Lounge in 2012.
Rick Ross played the Rock the Dome show and showed why he’s considered a boss.
Nothing but strings: The McGriff brothers may be Syracuse’s best kept classic secret. They are pictured here as part of the Connective Corridor’s In Motion Series from the Spring playing a mini Hip Hop symphony.
World Be Free almost rhymed the Syracuse Orangemen into the Final Four.
Sax on Stage: Jessy J kept it hot as the headliner for the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival.
Guitarist Edgar Pagan helped organize the Sandy Relief Concert at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que.
Bill Horrace and his band took their show on the road and played a few gigs on the 443 Connective Corridor Bus.
