Sonic Drive-In

bacteria will need nutrients and water throughout the testing process. (O’Mahony, 1988) A sewage plant near Berlin started to play Mozart to the bacteria to drive down the cost of running the sewage plant. The founder of the sewage plant figured that if humans like Mozart, then bacteria must like Mozart’s music. However, scientists know that the sonic waves of the composition mixed with the addition of oxygen lead to a better result from the bacteria. This led to huge amount of money saved,…

meantime, you can check out clipping’s most recent EP, CLPPING on Bandcamp. Just try not to make the mistake of searching for ‘The Clippings’. “It drives me f**king crazy every time someone spells our name with an “s” — clippings. I just picture some old clueless person, ‘Oh are you going to see the clippings tonight? Have you heard this album by the Sonic Youths?’ Like it actually makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. William quips “I always joke we should introduce ourselves in…

“Hello, may I take your order?”, spoke the lady through the drive through speaker. “Yes, I would like a small Cheeseburger please.” “Would you like a side of cholesterol and a large cup of a sugar induced coma to go with that?” Essentially when ordering food from a branch of the fast food industry, this is what we are ordering.“The rise in the fast food industry has been linked to rising cases of obesity. The CDC estimates that 248,000 Americans die prematurely due to obesity and considers…

Since covering the topic of the environment in class last week, I have really noticed how environmentally-friendly Kidzu Children’s Museum actually is. Something that I am particularly impressed in regards to the museum is its creativity in promoting this idea of being “environmentally conscious”: from the implementation of innovative and engaging programs to the choice of language and phrasing Kidzu team members are taught to use when interacting with museum patrons in the Makery. Because of…

I was driving to Oklahoma City Community College one afternoon with a good friend of mine. We had gotten out of school early and stopped at Mazzio’s to eat lunch before going to the college. During that drive we were doing what normal teenagers do while driving somewhere: listening to the radio as loud as we could and singing at the top of our lungs. My friend was videoing as we were singing. Later that night after we had returned home I watched the video, and my eyes were opened. In that video…

The Twenty One Pilots song, “Car Radio” is based off an actual event while the singer, Joseph Tyler, was in college. He was running late to class and forgot to lock his car, when he got out of class, his car radio, CD player, all of his CDs and his GPS were all stolen from him. The loss of having music to play in the car helped him realise how much he used music as an escape from life and thinking about existence. Tyler Joseph is not the only one to use music as an escape. One of the reasons…

Music in the 1900s was very popular/influential and produced many talented artists. The genres of music known at the time was hip hop, rap, jazz, classical, and rock and roll. Music at this time broke boundaries and brought people together who bonded over a single genre of music. Great musicians erupted during this time. Music did not belong to a single race/gender of people, but a multitude of people. A lot of artists pursuing music erupted during this time period and contributed to their genre…

myself out of bed, walk my dog, come back brush my teeth then take a shower, get dressed while listening to my favorite song in the world “Teenage Dream” by. Katy Perry, run downstairs, eat breakfast, and purposely miss my bus so that my mom had to drive me to school since it was a 40-minute walk. My mom got in the car and nagged me about the same thing every day “You wake up at 6 am why does it take you an hour to get ready?” She didn't realize that I was getting bullied, but I never nagged her…

In 1998 I graduated from Osceola High School. My parents were so proud of me. They always pushed me to do my best in school. I was in every group/club imaginable, just like my mother, and was a great flute player; ranked 7th best out of the entire Region 8. I graduated with a 3.25 and received the John Phillips Sousa Award which also offered a scholarship. I had my life laid out for me and lived it just as my parents wanted me to. In August of 1998, my parents packed me up and moved me into my…

Gustav Holst, born in Cheltenham in September 1847, is still today considered to be one of the greatest music composers of all time.He didn’t start out as the great composer that we know and love. His path to success wasn’t the smoothest. Holst was born to Adolph von Holst and Clara Cox Lediard. His father was a professional pianist who practiced many hours a day leaving very few to his wife Clara and their children. Clara was a student of Adolph when they first met. She was also a talented…
