ACRN Week Gets Magnolia, Vanderslice, St. Vincent
Plus: Georgie James, Koufax, Sybris, Margot & the Nuclear So and So's

Ohio University has plenty to boast of; they're the only school in Ohio to offer an osteopathy specialty in their medical school, and noted Athens-campus alums include Arsenio Hall and Al Bundy.

If that's not enough brochure-fodder to get your pen flyin' across the application page, they're also home to student-sponsored, internet-based radio station ACRN's ACRN Week, which, for some reason, is nine days long. Maybe you OU types should spend less time cracking wise with the cans on and more time hittin' the math books! Still, nine glorious days of indie rock and other delights in the middle of Ohio? Go Bobcats!

This year's ACRN Week kicks off April 12 with a set from Magnolia Electric Co, with other highlights including PopFest with Margot & the Nuclear So and So's, Georgie James, Sybris, and Koufax on April 14, and John Vanderslice with St. Vincent the next night. As if the idea of a weeklong student-run radio station festival didn't already smack of an 80s college flick setup, the week's events will lead up to a ribbon-cutting ceremony for ACRN's gleaming new studios. I hope that crusty old dean doesn't find some way to bust up their party before the week is through!
