Believe it or not, this decade is already coming to a close. Thus, being the obsessive writers we are, the Daily Cal’s arts section has decided to take a comprehensive look back at the decade in music, film and television with daily profiles, lists and articles on this blog (which, as you see, will have a fancy new banner for the next few weeks, courtesy of designer Jessie Tseng). Who delivered the best performance of the decade? Just how influential was Timbaland? How many times are we going to reference Kanye’s VMA moment? Stay tuned and find out all the answers by going directly to here, or by simply visiting the main arts blog page. And don’t worry–normal arts blog coverage will continue as usual.

All of this hoopla will culminate in an arts special issue on Nov. 19 that will count down the top albums and movies of the decade. So get excited, and join in on the discussion on what meant the most to us so far in the new millennium. Agree, disagree, want to tear out our souls, whatever–as long as you have an opinion, you’re in.
