Heartthrob heartache avoided with Harry Styles appearance on teen-scene

Sloan McKeehan, Staff writer September 19, 2022
Everyone in their early teens has a heartthrob, whether It was Justin Bieber or one of the Jonas brothers, I was always fan-girling over the next popular teen boy singer. I was always dreaming of Justin Bieber appearing on my doorstep and confessing his undying love for me. Then once I respond with “YES, YES, TAKE ME INTO YOUR ARMS AND NEVER LET ME GO,” he would proceed to do his choreographed song and dance while throwing rose petals at me. 

An Apple a day

Christian Alvarado, Staff writer September 15, 2022
Over a year ago I discovered Fiona Apple. At first, I was apprehensive when I listened to “Fetch the Bolt Cutters” since it was so chaotic and I had never been exposed to it before. Nevertheless, I continued to go through her discography. The more I listened to her, the more I understood the raw and vulnerable emotions she shared, which has been consistent in all five of her albums over the last two decades.

Classic music longevity proves superiority over modern songs

Nathan Johanson March 10, 2022
ontinue listening to the good classics from the previous century. I have listened to newer music, but I think the best eras of music are found in the 20th century. I like most genres of music, as long as the music is older than me. Some of my favorite artists include Queen, The Beatles, Billy Joel, The Beach Boys, Michael Jackson, and Elvis Presley.

Swift climbs quickly to top of charts with re-recorded album

Abby Mendez May 11, 2021

Swift sweeps audiences off their feet with new album

Jasmine Samis October 2, 2020
Taylor Swift lost a fan when she transitioned from country music to lovey-dovey pop songs, but she is winning me back over after listening to one of her songs on her latest album, Folklore. As soon as I heard one line from “Cardigan”, I was totally dragged into listening to the rest of the album and to give Swift a second chance.

Virtually inspired: Student uses YouTube to learn how to play the piano

Sophia Bradley September 28, 2020
Since early March, people have been quarantined in their homes with instructions to go out in public as little as possible. These rules forced many to lose relationships, jobs and sanity, but it also helped people gain new talents, hobbies, and friendships. Some people saw the benefits of being stuck at home, took advantage of it by learning things that many people typically would not.
