Rasputin Music

I want to be able to return years from now, and reminisce on my years in Berkeley. I want to walk through Moe’s, Rasputin’s and every other store I’ve stepped foot in, and remember the awe I felt in my twenties being in that exact spot.

Being the youthful college students we are, we want to get the most bang for our buck. Here are five ways to enjoy Berkeley on a tight budget.

You may have noticed a sudden influx of fresh faces around town — that’s right, UC Berkeley will be back in session in just a few days.

Whether it’s in the STEM fields or the humanities, UC Berkeley’s size and funding means that there’s almost certainly someone here on campus researching something you’re interested in.

People hoping to buy new and used books and vinyl records will be sad to see that Mad Monk Center for Anachronistic Media is now closed.

There will always be a free way to listen to music, but in an era where we pay paltry subscription fees to services such as Spotify for the right to access music, rather than owning it, the tangibility of vinyl records has immediate appeal.

A multi-use venue will soon bring life to an abandoned corner of Telegraph Avenue that has lain unused for over a decade.

Taking a nod from the New York Times’ “36 Hours in …” series, we’ve compiled a list of Berkeley institutions that make the city its own. Whether you’re new to town or a local resident, take a weekend to fall in love — or back in love — with the sights, smells and sounds of Berkeley.

Artist Edythe Boone removed a mural from the vacant lot at the corner of Telegraph Avenue and Haste Street last Monday due to multiple instances of defacement from graffiti and anticipated development of the lot.

We at the Clog love everything about Berkeley and want our friends to fall in love with it the same way we did. So we’ve compiled a list with customized Berkeley itineraries suited to whatever your friends' interests might be.
