Palace, Reckless Heart – MusicPlayers.com

Aug 5, 2024 | musicplayers.com | Ben Goldman |Guitar Power Amps

My last album review was published just a short while ago, but it seems like decades since we’ve heard an album as unapologetically ‘80s as Reckless Heart. The latest release from Palace, a brilliant Sweden-based project from multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Michael Palace, this album will inspire and capture your ideal visions of the 1980s regardless of whether you’ve lived them yourself or were even around back then.
'Ben there done that': What a long, strange trip it’s been

Apr 21, 2024 | purdueexponent.org | Ben Goldman

It is almost over for me and the rest of the graduating class of 2024. It has been a wild ride too. With COVID-19 turning Boiler Gold Rush and most of the 2020-21 academic school year into a series of webinars, it was a miserable time. However, it was not all doom and gloom in the land of Protect Purdue and hand sanitizer because at least I didn’t have to sit next to anyone.
'Ben there done that': Costly Grand Prix shenanigans

Apr 14, 2024 | purdueexponent.org | Ben Goldman

There is something magical about seeing a bunch of homemade go-karts revving their engines on a warm Saturday afternoon. I am referring to the “Greatest Spectacle in College Racing,” the Purdue Grand Prix. This Saturday marks the third race I attended as the 2021 race was closed to in-person spectators, just another casualty of my COVID-19-ridden freshman year. But, the following year was a race for the history books.
'Ben there, done that': Dear Rowdy

Apr 7, 2024 | purdueexponent.org | Ben Goldman

It is that time of year again. The recently admitted students are starting to ask questions, and I don’t like answering them. Instead, I forwarded the most popular questions to the former Purdue mascot, Rowdy. Here is what he said. Dear Rowdy,I heard a total solar eclipse is set to pass over the great state of Indiana on April 8, 2024. I would love to see the spectacle, but it takes place on a Monday, my busiest day of the week.
'Ben there, done that': Perfect places for a pleasing pint

Mar 25, 2024 | purdueexponent.org | Ben Goldman

There is an old saying that showed up on my Instagram feed the other day which stated, “if rubbing alcohol is for outside boo boos, then drinking alcohol is for inside ones.”I am not sure how accurate this statement is as drinking with gin or Malört has only instilled more pain in me. But, I am not a medium and tend to stay away from the spirits whenever I can. I also love myself enough to not torture myself with the Natty Lights and Natural Ices that I see strewn around fraternities.
'Ben there, done that': Becoming an Alley Rat

Mar 18, 2024 | purdueexponent.org | Ben Goldman

I yearn for dark, subterranean areas. So, when my sophomore self learned there was a bowling class at Purdue, I couldn’t help myself. Why wouldn’t I want to take a course where I get to hurl a 15-pound sphere at pins underground? It was a dream come true. Fast forward two years and I have become a true alley rat. This semester marks the fourth time I have taken PES 115: Bowling and my only regret is I won’t be able to take it for a fifth time. However, I have several tales I can tell.
'Ben there, done that': Persistently pestered by peoples’ practices

Mar 3, 2024 | purdueexponent.org | Ben Goldman

Not everything on campus is perfect. There is plenty to complain about. Scooters of SadismElectric scooters and skateboards have been one of my greatest nemeses throughout my time at Purdue. It doesn’t matter if it is a Spin, Veo or privately owned scooter. I’ve made my view on these instruments of mass destruction clear when I previously suggested all motorized forms of transportation be banned from campus to ensure pedestrian safety.
'Ben there, done that:' An ode to WALC's wheely chairs

Feb 27, 2024 | purdueexponent.org | Ben Goldman

One of the great things about studying at Purdue is the vast array of different classroom chairs you can experience. There’s the classic model where the seat is attached to the desk, a staple in the classroom. Then, there are the long lecture hall tables with independent rolling chairs that are a decent typing surface if you don’t mind bumping elbows with your classmates. Having a solid, stable writing surface is not always a given.
'Ben there, done that:' Last Call - Purdue is losing all its best restaurants

Feb 18, 2024 | purdueexponent.org | Ben Goldman

With the demise of Bruno's, I started to reminisce about Purdue restaurants of yore. The Taco Bell in Chauncey Hill Mall closed my freshman year. It hit me hard. I lost the only place where I could buy both a laxative and food for cheap. It opened my eyes. I started to notice more restaurants and bars closing. Puccini’s was one of my favorite places to get pizza and Italian when I was down by the river. I remember their calzones were top of the line. It was a great casual place to go for a bite.
Surviving V-Day, no matter your status

Feb 11, 2024 | purdueexponent.org | Ben Goldman

Valentine’s Day is Wednesday and if you’re anything like me, that’s terrifying. Fret not! Whether you have a bae or are making love to your calculus homework, I have you covered on heartwarming Valentine activities. Single guys and gals may find Valentine’s Day difficult to bear, but it’s easier if you focus on yourself. Personally, I always do something I enjoy on this cursed day. Some years that involves taking a walk around campus and down into Lafayette.
