Band Review: The Internet

Entertainment

by Joe Mendoza

Music is everywhere, and has so much flavor and variety wherever you find it. The band that’s been catching my attention the most recently has been the alternative RnB band, The Internet, who’s made up of vocalist Syd, keyboardist Matt Martians, bassist Patrick Paige II, drummer Christopher Smith, and guitarist Steve Lacy. This is a super powerful lineup, and the amount of talent in their hands is reflected with the quality of music that they produce. They each have fairly successful solo careers, and their discography, made up of Purple Naked Ladies (2011), Feel Good (2013), Ego Death (2015), and Hive Mind (2018), makes their name one to remember, although many have suspected that their solo careers might affect whether or not they can continue to create music together. 

With the release of their debut album in 2011, and even in 2013 with Feel Good, many critics believe that their sounds didn’t blend together that well, and with each of them having fairly successful solo careers, it’s easy to see why, since they each have their own sound already. Everything changed in 2015, with the release of Ego Death. This was the first time that the band was able to cohesively make music that blended together each musician’s unique style, as well as their first well recognized album.

Liverpool

Professional Sports

By Josiah Finkler

Liverpool, considered to be one of the best clubs in England, has a history with championships and rivalries that make Liverpool such a great club over the years. The premier league, champions league, the FA cup, etc. Liverpool competes in all of these tournaments and does win a good amount of times compared to all the other clubs competing.

 For example, one of my favorite memories of this club is when they took a quick corner-kick and scored easily to beat Barcelona, one of the best clubs in the world, in the second round to move on in the champions league. This was so special because Liverpool had to come back from a 4-0 defeat in the first round, which everyone clearly thought Liverpool was done for but Liverpool had proved them all wrong. Forever known as “a corner taken quickly….ORIGI” said by Darren Fletcher who commentated that match. Continue reading Liverpool →

Water: Too Much or Too Little

News

By Amaiya Diaz

Over the years, climate change has affected the world in many ways. One way that many people may not take into consideration when thinking about the consequences of climate change would be natural disasters. Natural disasters have been devastating to people all around the world. Ranging from wildfires to flooding, it’s hard to be able to adapt and prepare for the catastrophes you could be vulnerable to if you are not ready for a natural disaster to hit. However, these natural disasters might not be so natural anymore. They have been impacted by the human-made emissions and the carbon dioxide that have been recently released into the atmosphere. This has also caused global warming to become a hazard all across the Earth, being a threat to the people, but mostly the oceans.

Over the last century, the global temperature has risen two degrees Fahrenheit. To many, this doesn’t seem like a big deal since it’s such a small number. Yet, just two degrees could completely change the Earth’s sea levels, causing flooding all across seaboards. This will cause the water supply in many cities to be salinized, and unable to be consumed by humans without proper sanitation. Hundreds of thousands will be forced to relocate since their towns would be eroded, flooded, and inhabitable.  Continue reading Water: Too Much or Too Little →

The 21st Anniversary of 9/11

News

by Bailey Chrabascz 

September 11, 2001, is a date that will go down in history as the largest terrorist attack. It is arguably one of the most tragic events in United States history. The series of airplane hijackings, that resulted in the collapse of the Twin Towers and death of thousands of civilians, united the country during a time of grief. 

The terrorist attacks changed everything. Immigration law and policy was forever changed after the events that took place on 9/11. The country quickly became closed off to any foreigners who might harm us. Border patrol and border surveillance have grown exponentially. The hijackers were able to obtain a visa from the U.S, go through the point of inspection, and into the United States without being detected, revealing the vulnerability of the Immigration system. The government was quickly faced with a task to fix the gaps in domestic immigration laws and strengthen our country’s security.  Continue reading The 21st Anniversary of 9/11 →
