MUSIC CH▲SER: Indie Invasion
As I am writing this blog, half of the spots on iTunes Top Albums list are held by bands of, what iTunes calls, the “Alternative” genre. The more common term for this genre in today’s vernacular is indie music. Whether it be rock or folk, or any other type of music that falls under the [...]
MUSIC CH▲SER: Rihanna is More “Unapologetic” Than Ever
Music of the Sun, A Girl like Me, Good Girl Gone Bad, Rated R, Loud, Talk That Talk, and Unapologetic. If you count them all, that’s seven albums. In seven years. Although many have criticized Rihanna for releasing an album every year for the past seven years, her continuing success has proven their complaints irrelevant. [...]
The Style Child: Fashion Week Favorites for Spring/Summer 2013
Here are few of my favorite collections from the spring/summer 2013 season, which took place this past September. Enjoy! New York Rodarte The Mulleavy sisters looked to medieval times for their latest Rodarte collection, and came up with a dark and twisted fairy tale. Textured leather and flaming prints gave dresses a dragon-like feel, while [...]
MUSIC CH▲SER: Ed Sheeran’s New Music Video
“Give Me Love” Ed Sheeran’s latest music video is an otherworldly representation of his song, “Give Me Love”, that will make you think twice about the meaning of his lyrics. The song is off of his album “+” and is to be released as his newest single on November 26th of this year. Ever since Sheeran’s album [...]
MUSIC CH▲SER: Rihanna Shines Bright Like a Diamond
For any singer, the first single of a new album sets a precedent for what listeners can expect to hear on the rest of the album. With this new song, Rihanna demonstrates quite a divergence from her previous singles. Penned by “Titanium” singer, Sia, “Diamonds” is filled with infectious [...]
MUSIC CH▲SER: P!nk’s “The Truth About Love”
P!nk’s sixth studio album, “The Truth About Love”, out September 18th, has tracks that range from exhilarating to heart breaking, all of which are undeniably P!nk. Each song speaks of a different point of P!nk’s sometimes rocky relationship with her husband, Carey Hart. The first single off of the album, “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” [...]
MUSIC CH▲SER: London Calling
Ever since the London Olympics, the music world has come down with a case of UK fever. From British music to fashion, the Olympics set a precedent that other nations have since followed. During my trip to London this summer, I made sure to listen to British popular radio stations because I knew we would [...]
The Style Child: Dressing for Comfort Without Sacrificing Style
There are so many factors to consider when getting dressed—weather, occasion, mood—but during the infamously stressful junior year of high school, I find myself most concerned with comfort. When I roll out of bed at 6:45am, tired from a late-night study session, the only clothes that seem appealing are those made with forgiving fabrics and lined with [...]
MUSIC CH▲SER: Adam Lambert’s “Trespassing”
As a self proclaimed Glambert, after having seen Adam Lambert live seven times, I was extremely excited to download “Trespassing” at its midnight release. At first listen, I noticed a pronounced difference between the first and second halves of the album. The album opens with the attention grabbing title track “Trespassing”, co-written by Pharrell, that [...]
A Season To Remember
This past winter, the SHS hockey team had one of its best seasons to date. The team started off the season strongly by beating Mamaroneck, a long-standing powerhouse in the division, and eventually made it all the way to the Section 1, Division 2 championship game before coming in second, losing by just one goal.
