5 Songs you should know This Week<br />
By Ulysses de la Rosa/la<br />
This week I‟m trying<br />
to make <strong>the</strong> line-up a little<br />
bit more diverse with a<br />
little bit of techno. So,<br />
without fur<strong>the</strong>r ado:<br />
1. Scary Monsters<br />
and Nice Spirits-<br />
SKRILLEX from<br />
<strong>the</strong> Scary Monsters<br />
and Nice<br />
Spirits EP.<br />
- Only recently have I dwelled in techno and<br />
electronica, however, <strong>for</strong>mer FORM FIRST TO<br />
LAST front man, Sonny Moore, has a talented<br />
knack <strong>for</strong> this breed of music. Listen; if you<br />
don‟t love it, maybe techno is not <strong>for</strong> you.<br />
2. Simple Math- MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA from <strong>the</strong> Simple<br />
Math album.<br />
- Manchester Orchestra is ironically not an orchestra,<br />
but also, not from Manchester (I don‟t<br />
even think <strong>the</strong>y‟ve been to Manchester!). Their<br />
smooth psychedelic sound is like <strong>the</strong> soundtrack<br />
to a coffee shop, leaving you feeling mellow,<br />
thoughtful, and relaxed.<br />
3. Here We Go Again (Repeat Offender) - VONNEGUTT from<br />
<strong>the</strong> Appetizer EP.<br />
- This is actually <strong>the</strong> first song I heard by Vonnegutt.<br />
Funny and catchy, I cannot stop listening<br />
to <strong>the</strong>m. Just buy <strong>the</strong>ir whole EP, it‟ll be <strong>the</strong><br />
only thing you play <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> year.<br />
4. Stare like You‟ll Stay- CIRCA SURVIVE <strong>for</strong>m <strong>the</strong> Appendage<br />
album.<br />
- One of my favorite songs. I admit, Circa Survive<br />
may not be everyone‟s cup of tea. Keep an<br />
open mind be<strong>for</strong>e listening. Beautiful song.<br />
5. That Fire- BLACK TIDE from <strong>the</strong> Post Mortem album.<br />
- This song is currently number two on <strong>the</strong> Top<br />
100. It almost seems to me as though it‟s taking<br />
a pop approach to hardcore or post-hardcore.<br />
This may be a sign of cross over potential in <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> mainstream.<br />
Memories of Summer<br />
Opinion by Dalton Palmer<br />
Summer vacation, a time of <strong>the</strong> year every student looks <strong>for</strong>ward<br />
to. Staying up late and sleeping in all day, what is not to like?<br />
No one ever wants to see summer end, and yet it does every year.<br />
<strong>School</strong> seems to always be right around <strong>the</strong> corner, but you still<br />
cling to those last days of vacation. Then it hits you like a wall, and<br />
you are confronted with homework and tests, not to mention you<br />
have to get up early now.<br />
When you get back to school everyone likes to talk about what<br />
<strong>the</strong>y did over <strong>the</strong> summer. Some people took vacations to o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
places, while o<strong>the</strong>rs just relaxed at home enjoying every second.<br />
Everyone spent <strong>the</strong>ir summer in some way, and everyone has<br />
some good memories that <strong>the</strong>y do not want to ever <strong>for</strong>get. However<br />
<strong>the</strong>re are always some memories we would not mind <strong>for</strong>getting<br />
about, some things we just want to push to <strong>the</strong> back of our minds.<br />
Often <strong>the</strong>se moments are embarrassing <strong>for</strong> us, but hilarious <strong>for</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
So we try and avoid <strong>the</strong>m, life just seems better that way.<br />
Sure we might not remember every second of our summers, but<br />
we enjoy <strong>the</strong> best parts of it <strong>for</strong>ever. <strong>School</strong> might have started and<br />
took summer away from you, but at least you had fun. Do not let<br />
school drag you down, just get up and get ready. Be<strong>for</strong>e you know it<br />
summer will be here again and you will be making new memories.<br />
Life is what you make it, right? Why not make it something grand?<br />
Have fun!<br />
Glee Club<br />
By: Caitlynn Niestempski<br />
Do, Ra, Me, Fa, So, La,<br />
Ti, Do, is what <strong>the</strong> Glee Club<br />
does to warm up every Monday<br />
from 3:30 P.M. to 4:00,<br />
<strong>the</strong> class last till 5. This is<br />
not a club about <strong>the</strong> hit TV<br />
show Glee. This is a club <strong>for</strong><br />
kids who can‟t come to<br />
Choir class during school.<br />
The new choir director Ms.<br />
Edwards helps <strong>the</strong> Glee Club<br />
kids perfect <strong>the</strong>ir talent of<br />
singing.<br />
There are only a hand full of Glee Club kids so far and are<br />
waiting <strong>for</strong> more to come and join <strong>the</strong>ir voice with <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
Glee club is a place where a talented boy or girl can put <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
voice to <strong>the</strong> test. Ms. Edwards is doing her best to find music<br />
that <strong>the</strong> Glee Club kids can sing. Songs like “Don‟t Stop Believing”<br />
by <strong>the</strong> TV show Glee.<br />
Kena Pechacek said, “You don‟t have to be a girl to join<br />
Glee Club.” There are two boys already in <strong>the</strong> enrolled. If you<br />
are a singer and want your voice to be heard <strong>the</strong>n join <strong>the</strong> Glee<br />
Club from 3:30 to 5:00 every Monday in <strong>the</strong> band and vocal<br />
room at Kingfisher <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>.
