Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording

came out in May 17, 2013. Daft Punk produces electronic music. The music in this album though is very upbeat getting you excited and making you want to dance. However, if you’re ever tired, this album has some relaxing music too. In the band, there are two men named Guy Manwell Decristo and Thomas Bangualtor. The two guys play bass, drums, keyboard, and are mainly dj’s. One very famous song is called “Get Lucky”, in which Daft Punk features Pharrell Williams and his guitarist. The band never sings directly, they either don’t sing or they put an electronic twist on their singing. But if…

As said by Bertrand Russell, “War does not determine who is right - only who is left.” It took me by surprise when I was walking by a store there happened to be a young man in a ragged united states military uniform sitting on the ground with a coffee can in between his boots. “Spare change for a soldier?”, Asked the young man. He looked up and asked a woman walking by. “Oh, you poor dear, All I have is 5 dollars on me”, said the woman with a doleful look on her face. I happened to be…

Colbie Caillat is a pop artist who loves to love love, and she’s not afraid of letting the whole world know all about it repeatedly in her 2007 hit album, Coco. Her work was far from enjoyable, but in order to fully dislike her for her work on this album, and to prevent you from picking it up, or listening to another album like it, it’s important to understand some of her past history, such as the reasons that explain her desire to get into the music business in the first place. For instance,…

"Bang!" "Bang!" The sound of the cowpuncher's revolver rang out, along with the sheriff, Henry. The cool autumn air was filled with sounds of gunfire and the loud barks of Remy, Nelly's faithful dog and companion. "No, get back!" she screamed. "Put your weapon down, son. We've gotcha now, and there's nothing else you can do, 'cept turn yourself in," said Henry. The young man, Joe, stood with his revolver pointed straight at the face of Sheriff Henry. Panting and angry, he spit out…

John M. Darley and Bibb Latane 's essay, "When will people help in a crisis?" could argue that people have become cold and should open their eyes to what is going on around them so they do not neglect the people surrounding them. We should agree with Darley and Lanate because there are people who choose to ignore those around them even when those people are being abused. One point Darley and Latane make is that American ideology is a leading cause of a lack of response when someone is in need.…
