    Mike Simmons "Empty Holes"- Los Angeles artist, Mike Simmons, may be the gem we've been looking for. "Empty Holes," off of the album Sunburn, drips alternative rock from the 90s, with a slight country twang in the delivery, and an indescribable amount of heart embedded in Simmons shaky, strong vocals. Opening without hesitation into a catchy hook of "ah's," the tracks' melodies flow with ease from verse to verse. As simple as the construction might be, Simmons' soul bleeds from the hoarseness of his voice, ultimately capturing the moment between the crunchiness of the guitar. "Empty Holes" projects a timeless sound of emotional and progressive waves that instantly becomes…

    It is human nature for each of us to believe that we are the unluckiest person in the world. Some would argue, however, that Stanley Yelnats Ⅳ is even worse off. Although many readers and even Stanley himself seems to think that he is ill-fated and always in the wrong place at the wrong time, the entirety of Louis Sachar’s novel, Holes, says otherwise. In fact, everything that has happened to Stanley and his family in the past and throughout the present setting of the novel happened for a reason. Even the situations that seem completely absurd and unnecessary, such as Stanley getting hit in the head with Clyde Livingston’s shoes, are all linked to each other on a timeline of fate so that a Yelnats could repay a Zeroni.…
