By
Jennifer Simpler
The crowd went wild Nov. 5 when Lifehouse took the stage. Nodding heads
followed the band’s lead as they busted out “Sick Cycle Carousel”
with power and passion. A roar of lyrics and praise rose from the crowd,
hitting the band like a wave. The energy emanating from the fans brought
electricity to what was already on fire — no doubt Ziggy knew he
had “done good” this time.
‘Echoes’
not your usual hits album
By
Ethan Dougherty
Greatest hits albums are usually fairly straightforward. They put any
song that a casual listener would want to hear onto a single disc to
save fans from having to buy an artist’s whole catalog to get the
songs they’re familiar with. Placement of the tracks on the album
is usually chronological, so the disc doesn’t work as a holistic
listening experience.
‘Monsters,
Inc.’ not just for kids
By
Jennie Loughridge
One of the greatest things about Disney movies is their ability to appeal
to children and adults alike. So many movies fail to appeal to any audience,
so when a film is able to entertain people of all ages I am really impressed.
Monsters, Inc. is one of these movies that you can’t help but enjoy,
no matter how old you are.

By
Brandy Jones
Isn’t it funny how quickly things change. Our parents’ generation
survived an era consumed with change. Civil rights, Vietnam, women’s
liberation and so on. All contributed to the overall “rebellion”
of the ’60s and ’70s.

nylon-stringed guitar.
