Summer Twins Review: A Dreamy Dance Party Kicking off Valentine’s Day weekend with great music is not a bad way to dive into the holiday, for couples and singles alike. This last Friday, February 12, Summer Twins performed at Acerogami, Pomona, CA, joined by Veronica Bianqui. The entire event had a drinks-with-friends vibe, framed by the venue’s exposed brick, low lighting, projected music videos, and a few heart-shaped balloons at the stage. The beauty of smaller venues is the level of…

“I wouldn’t mind starting out again, from a fresh start.” I told John. “I believe we can get famous again.” And we did. With a new member in our midst, we were able to write new songs with ease, and released a new studio album. When we revealed that is was us, our sales skyrocketed through the roof. I almost doubled my money. Of course, I gave a lot of it charity. “Guy’s, I have something for you to see.” We all knew what It meant. He had to fight in the war in Afghanistan…

one of my good friends sent me some songs to listen to by a band that I had never heard of called Twenty One Pilots. Their sound was completely different from anything I had ever heard before, containing some rap, a ukulele, and a piano all in one album. No one song sounded like the other, but they all contained one common element: some type of deep message hidden in the lyrics. At first, I rejected the band, not liking the way the music sounded, but when I listened again, really paying…

everyone especially her fans. I spent about two weeks completing this assignment. I did most of the work in class, but I did a portion of it at home. In order, to successfully complete this assignment I needed to pick my favorite songs from her three albums that related to her voice being angelic, what Ariana Grande wore on a casual day, and I needed to know when the Manchester attack happened. I was expected to do a great job, I feel I did an above-average…

Effective Use of Point of View in Harry Chapin’s “30,000 Pounds of Bananas” In Harry Chapin’s 1974 release of “30,000 Pounds of Bananas” on his Verities & Balderdash album, Chapin employs the use of a first person perspective with the focus on a different subject quite effectively to describe clearly to the listener such things as plot, character traits, and setting. The song depicts an inexperienced semi-truck driver’s death in a crash while hauling 30,000 pounds of bananas to Scranton,…

their troubles using the metaphor of a firework. The music video won "Video of the Year" at the 2011 MTV VMA. "FireWork" "spent four non-consecutive weeks at number one on the Hot 100." "The song is the third consecutive number one single of the same album; the last female singer who achieved this was Monica in 1998. "Perry sang her first public performance of…

Have you ever experienced the feeling before an important interview which will affect your whole life? It happened to my family on an autumn day in October 2010. When my brothers and I were woken up by the first sunshine of the day, we knew that we would face it, which we had been waiting for ten years. Mixed feelings showed on my family members’ faces: worry, anxiety and happiness because we were going to have the immigrant interview to America. I still remembered our appointment was set at…

and children (“The Arrival”) The path the officers guided us down led to a red brick building. Setting my bag down in what was called the Baggage Room on the ground floor, I felt a sense of home leaving me. My baggage consisted of the family photo album, clothes, bible, and some euros. This was where my bag was left until inspection was done. Next we traveled up the stairs to the Registry Room (“The Ellis”) Doctors stood on the second floor and watched as we ascended the stairs. Watching the…

Middle school is a time where everyone tries to figure themselves out and find their place. I struggled with figuring out who I am. I didn’t know who I was and especially in 8th grade, peer pressure was a big barrier in my life, preventing me from being who I truly was. I blocked myself by trying to be like everyone else and being accepted by others. I told a friend of mine this and she replied “Why fit in? Being yourself is so much more fun.” This song by Jamie Grace, “Little Ol’ Me” inspired…
