Michael Bublé: an overrated figure in music

Michael Bublé: an overrated figure in music

Katie Hoppler February 7, 2021
My middle school is known for our jazz band. Definitely not as good as we thought we were, but not bad. My instrument of choice in the band was the flute. Most of the time it sounded like a suffocating bird instead of an instrument, but despite my inability to actually produce music myself, I appreciated jazz band because of how our conductor taught us how to play it. We would listen to it, break all the parts down, and then build it back together with the instruments we had. This construction and reconstruction method taught me to appreciate music for all its parts and complexity. I learned that different artists don’t just play music, they are able to use their voices or their instruments to portray a certain set of emotion and values.

“Plastic Hearts” is Cyrus at her best

Isabelle Curtis February 7, 2021
I’ve never been a fan of Miley Cyrus. No, not even during her Hannah Montana days (I was more of a Wizards of Waverly Place kid). I had never paid attention to her early, controversial music career and only a few of her songs entered my radar. What can I say? “Party in the USA” still slaps.

The mistake that is Coca-Cola coffee

Brackett Lyons, Staff Writer February 3, 2021
Durham, NH – It was a cold, blustery night Feb. 1. My roommates and I were out grocery shopping. As I walked the hallowed halls – well aisles – of Market Basket, my eyes were drawn to a bright orange sign that read “NEW PRODUCT.” There, perched on the third shelf, was the brand-new Coca-Cola Coffee.

Just when her fans thought she was all out of surprises, Taylor Swift decided to drop yet another 17 songs with almost no heads up. I guess we really shouldn’t be surprised. With all of the quarantining and free time, it only feels right that she would be expressing herself in some folk-pop lyrics for her millions of fans to enjoy.

“Veganuary” and beyond

Cassie Hollasch February 1, 2021
Some people may have heard of a new internet trend called Veganuary, where anyone can participate and try to go vegan or plant-based for the month of January. It’s a sort of kickstart for veganism. Veganuary is an annual challenge run by a U.K. nonprofit organization that promotes and educates about veganism by encouraging people to follow a vegan lifestyle during January and possibly throughout the year.

The Promised Neverland: children defeating the odds

The Promised Neverland: children defeating the odds

Cassie Hollasch February 1, 2021
Generally speaking, I don’t read descriptions before starting to watch a show if the trailer or cover image is interesting enough. Perhaps this is my greatest flaw, as I haven’t learned my lesson despite being bamboozled by a book’s cover in the past. But surely, I thought, as I clicked onto “The Promised Neverland” on Netflix, surely it is not going to betray my impressions, right?

The Midnight Sky: A Necessary Futuristic Film

Cassie Hollasch January 27, 2021
The year 2050 sits ominously in the distance, marking a slew of predicted landmarks of irreversible damage to the environment and our planet. It should be no surprise that with this date, science fiction has begun to speculate how the world will be within the next few decades. One of the most recent examples of this is the late 2020 film “The Midnight Sky”, directed by George Clooney.

A look into 3S Artspace’s Exhibit Woven Female Landscape

Cassie Hollasch December 9, 2020
Walking into 3S Artspace’s Exhibition, Woven Female Landscape, the viewer is met with three monochromatic pieces that beg the question, “What does it mean to be feminine?” The all-white pieces fill the room with a sense of purity and ease and offer the visitor a “sanctuary.” While taking in the work it is difficult not to question your own views on femininity and the deeper meaning behind each piece.
