From (W)NBA stars (often sometimes Duke alumni) to NFL QBs to Longhorns fans who wore Duke T-shirts opposite Kate Hudson, Cameron Indoor Stadium could be considered North Carolina's Staples Center (UNC gets some stars too. There's that Michael Jordan guy). Add Denzel Washington to that list. Washington made an appearance in Cameron Indoor Stadium on the last night of the decade to cheer on his son Malcolm Washington, a five-foot-nine freshman guard for the University of Pennsylvania Quakers. University Editor Lindsey Rupp and I were Tweeting up a storm about the Oscar winner at the game. At one point, the Crazies we're shouting "Man on fire" to the younger Washington, but Denzel seemed to keep spirits high, giving a tip of his UPenn hat to the crowd when they cheered for him. All of this in spite of Duke's one-side trounce of the Quakers (114-55). As the Crazies say, "More than double."

Bombadil has released their first music video ever for "So Many Ways to Die" from Tarpits and Canyonlands. Bryan Rahija writes, "it's all the ways to live and die in 4:52, including an octopus attack, a bull fight, and a william tell re-enactment." In a word, epic. If morbidly so.

Call it irresponsible. Call it ill-informed. Call it biased. Call it whatever you like. It's back. Recess presents its second annual round-up of the top tracks of the year, with a many staff members giving their input. Look for it on the blog starting Monday, Nov. 30.

A few weeks ago, Naureen Khan reported on a feature-length film being produced by a rag-tag band of Duke students, mostly juniors and seniors. What is possibly the first-ever student-produced feature from Duke has since been given a firm title: Clearing Waters. The film has been given a "release date" (they're showing it publicly at Duke) of April 11, and with that comes a trailer. Check it out here.

Megafaun just released the video for "Impressions of the Past" from Gather, Form and Fly, which, to anyone who was at the Arts Center show in August, will seem pretty familiar. Nonetheless, it's pretty great and an excellent song. Also, be sure to catch them Thursday in downtown Durham for the Troika kick-off (the Beast opens.)
