ARTS RECOMMENDS
In this feature, Daily Arts writers will give their endorsements
for the arts you need to experience to help you deal with current events.
Cults - Cults
It's warm outside. You're a little less irritable and
are suddenly spending more time playing Frisbee
than you are taking notes in class. Why not cel-
ebrate this unexpected weather with something
equally happy and bright? With its bubbly beats
and twee-pop vocals, Cults's self-titled album has
all the makings of springy, good-day music. And
with its first single "Go Outside," it just feels right.
WARNER BROS.
"Wet Hot American Summer"
With warm weather taking over and the end of
classes in sight, it's time to slide prematurely into
a summertime mood with a great summer film,
"Wet Hot American Summer." This cult hit from
2001, both a satire and a celebration of summer-
camp culture, is one of the funniest movies of the
decade and, conveniently, the perfect procrasti-
nation companion.
RCA
"Duma Key" - Stephen King
Regardless of how amazingthis week's weather
is, it seemed to come out of nowhere - skipping
from high 30s to low 70s in a manner of days. So,
appropriately, check out "Duma Key," a change-of-
pace Stephen King novel set in the Florida Keys.
It's a bit easier to imagine haunted ships in the gulf
coast when the weather is so fine.
ACE TRADE
"The Vampire Diaries"
The CW's golden child, "The Vampire Diaries," is
back tonight after a three-week hiatus. The return-
ing episode will be one of the every-so-often flash-
backepisodes, inwhich we meet another illustrious
female from Damon's sordid past. Though these
episodes tend to sink rather than swim, we can't
help but look forward to the return of our favorite
depraved duo and a litany of scenes featuring Ian
Somerhalder's oh-so-smoldering glances.

What made you decide to get an iPad?
My actual laptop crashed during exam week, so I lost a lot of stuff,
and instead of buying another laptop, I just bought the iPad.
Why the iPad and not another type of tablet?
I hadn't really tried many others, but I just knew that Apple is a
really trusted product.
Any advice for tablet shoppers?
If a student were to get an iPad to bring to class, I would definitely
recommend getting a keyboard because to type on this would be
kind of difficult if you're trying to type fast.
