D-backs scouting report: Visalia Rawhide RHP Drew Muren

Initially drafted in 2011 by the Houston Astros out of Cal State Northridge—as an outfielder—Muren kicked around the low minor leagues for a few years, eventually reaching as high as Double-A in Houston’s organization by 2013. He never really took hold as a hitter, though (in his career, he’s .270/.347/.378 with 200 strikeouts over 921 pro at-bats), and so by 2014 he was out of affiliated ball and trying to continue his career through independent leagues. -- Knuckleball

Armenian Producer Bei Ru Mixes Arabian Synths With Hip-Hop Beats (and Tigers)

As Panossian’s passion for music grew, he began to consider a career as an artist. While his parents were supportive, they told him that if he wanted to pursue music, he would have to get a college degree first. He received a degree in psychology from Cal State Northridge, and after a slew of random odd jobs, began to realize that if he didn't fully commit to making music, his dream of being an artist would never be realized. -- LA Weekly

“Karla Klarin: Subdividing the LAndscape,” at CSUN Art Galleries.

Los Angeles Theater Review: DEAR WORLD (Valley Performing Arts Center in Northridge)

1969. The final year in what was one of the most turbulent decades in American history. The battle between counterculture dissidents and the corporate establishment could melt lead, and in the middle the blood was drained from the ideal Ozzie and Harriet family and the U.S. was headed to a most uncertain future. No wonder the American Musical followed suit. In between the rock musical Hair (1968) and the opening of the Declaration of Independence musical 1776 (March, 1969) was the opening of a Jerry Herman musical that tried but failed to amalgamate a timely anti-establishment theme with a lamentation for an earlier time when life was glamorous, unlike the late ’60s. -- Stage and Cinema
