Last Saturday, CUB sponsored musician Jason Levasseur to entertain students in Cheel. Those that braved the newly fallen six inches of snow to get to the Commons were entertained by Levasseur's music and stories. Most of his songs are sad such as "Sad to See You Gone," as well as "One More Hour," and a song he wrote about an ex-girlfriend.

Levasseur also played cover songs throughout his performance including a mash-up of music by Oasis and Green Day called, "Wonderwall of Broken Dreams." In fact, he mixed some of his music with other songs as well. He started this out by playing a song of his called "Steps of Saint Patrick's." Before anyone realized, he pulled out "With You" by Jessica Simpson, then "Let it Be," by the Beatles. Next he went into "Get Low" by Lil' Jon and the East Side Boys and then to "Straight Up," by Paula Abdul. He finished the song by going back to his original song, but not before adding "Uncomplicated," by Avril Lavigne, "Cleanin' Out My Closet," by Eminem, and "I'm Sorry Miss Jackson," by the Vines.

His next song, "Pour the Wine," was mixed with "Kumbaya," "Milkshake," by Kelis, "The Little Drummer Boy," and Limp Bizket's "Nookie." Another popular song of the night was a protest song Levasseur wrote. It claimed that the driver of the car is the DJ and should be able to pick the music. The night ended with Levasseur suggesting that everyone should go outside and catch snowflakes on their tongue. Then, everyone, together, can fall down and make snow angels. Tomorrow he would be driving to Maine for another show. "Why? To be here is good!"
