Entertainment Picks to Checkout During Quarantine Arts & Entertainment Picks to Checkout During Quarantine With our schools closed, many of us begin to find our schedules clearing up, leaving us with an unprecedented amount of free time. Each day seems to give way to the next, and it’s easy to get slightly anxious because nowadays the common conception is that we always need to be doing something. We’ve come to the rescue with an ongoing list of arts and entertainment gems. For the duration of the school closure, A&E will be continuously publishing a variety of recommendations of books, movies, TV shows, podcasts, albums, video games. Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! by Richard Feynman By Ron Shvartsman, CONTRIBUTING WRITER Arts & Entertainment Picks to Checkout During Quarantine graphic by Jennifer Ren “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!” is an absolute joy to read. Comprising a myriad of largely unconnected anecdotes ranging from interactions with Einstein to learning frigideira instruments, “Surely You’re Joking” is not your typical autobiography. The author Richard Feynman, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who grew up during the Great Depression, was one of the most incredible people of the 20th century. Feynman defied most conventional “scientist” stereotypes with his Queens accent and eccentric behavior. He ventured into Arts & Entertainment Picks to Checkout During Quarantine many fields, from designing the atomic bomb to deciphering Mayan hieroglyphics to playing bongos in jazz clubs. The joy and passion with which Feynman tells his stories (I can almost see him smiling!) is truly infectious. When reading these stories, I feel like I’m wearing x-ray goggles, suddenly seeing the many treasures hidden beneath the surface of our seemingly mundane world. Feynman’s casual and inviting voice sounds like that of a family friend, excited to share their stories and experiences. To put a face to the name, there are few things better than watching some interviews of Feynman from the 1970s and 1980s, as they perfectly encapsulate his magnetic personality. One of my favorite videos, which starts with a seemingly simple physics question, spirals wonderfully into a long improvisation on the nature of questions that start with “why.” Through his response — which includes the slippery properties of ice, a husband driving his wife to a hospital, and aliens puzzled by human behavior — one can see a glimpse of Feynman’s uniquely inquisitive mind, never satisfied with a single answer. “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman” would be a great read for anyone, regardless of whether he or she is interested in the sciences. It is as enjoyable for a young child as it is for a teenager or an adult. I highly recommend this book to those who know in their hearts that the world is incredible and are willing to let Feynman reveal its secrets. Richard Feynman: “Why?” https://tinyurl.com/c846sdo Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine By Annie Wang, ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT CO-EDITOR Arts & Entertainment Picks to Checkout During Quarantine graphic by Eric Zhong To be honest, when I first picked up this book, I was quite baffled. Arts & Entertainment Picks to Checkout During Quarantine Flipping through the pages, “Citizen: An American Lyric” seems to be a hybrid of poetry, essays, pictures and collages. All of the content is printed on this unusual, matte, coated paper, and the Arial font is agonizing to my eyes. Everything about it spelled strange, and I wasn’t expecting to love it. But I somehow devoured the book in one sitting. After reaching the back cover, I found myself turning the last page back and forth because I simply could not believe that I had reached the end of it — or that an ending exists for the book at all. In a few hours, Claudia Rankine entirely upended my initial perception of what a book can achieve. The book was published in October 2014, when nationwide demonstrations were held after the death of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. America was embroiled in controversies and debates on the topics of police brutality and discrimination towards African Americans. Rankine’s book addresses the same topics. From the FIFA World Cup and the U.S. Open Tennis Championships to Hurricane Katrina and the Stop-and-Frisk policy, Rankine walks the reader through a series of contemporary events that capture the daily acts of micro- aggression towards minorities. She also draws from her own experience as a Jamaican- American and tells her story in powerful prose. With that all being said, “Citizen: An American Lyric” is definitely one of many books that I’m grateful to have read despite having judged it by the cover at first. And while we’re all holed up at home, I think it will be 100 percent worth your while to check it out. You Could Prosper in a Few Years in the Field of Science by Various Artists By Harmonie Ramsden, CONTRIBUTING WRITER The CSD Music Labs and Long Haul Records began releasing music sung and produced by high-schoolers since 2015. Published in 2018, “You Could Prosper in a Few Years in the Field of Science,” is a well-made, creative album. Written by nineteen different artists, the tracks range from dark rap to cool instrumental to pop music, providing a youthful touch to a diverse range of music. This album, although it features many pop tracks, tends to stray from the status quo. “Glitz” by Crenaud is an ode to the disco-pop of the 1970s and 1980s with a heavy drum line and fun-filled lyrics, while “Human in a Giant’s World” utilizes bluesy tunes and Nchartier’s folk vocals. Wmacintyre shines in “Variety Show” and “Forgotten Apologies” with a mature voice and poetic lyrics, tying together the strong vocals of the tracks’ singers. The former discusses the loss of trust between friends, while the latter builds on the topic by exploring the unspoken words between the distanced friends. Relationships are built and broken quickly in Arts & Entertainment Picks to Checkout During Quarantine high schoolers’ lives, and songs like these pull from those youthful emotions and experiences. Songs that dive more into love include “Good Decision,” where a simple piano melody and minimal clutter let Bdelaney’s angelic voice shine on its own. With bright harmonies and a light vibrato, she sings about overthinking, and how sometimes letting people go is the better choice. “You Could Prosper in a Few Years in the Field of Science” follows the creativity of past albums released by the CSD Music Labs, with each song possessing its own unique style and vocalists. Each track is innovative and unexpected, with talent unexpected of people so young. Listeners not wanting run-of-the-mill music will find this album a treat, and I’m excited to hear what songs they create for their 2020 album, expected in May. Kid Krow by Conan Gray By Harmonie Ramsden, CONTRIBUTING WRITER Arts & Entertainment Picks to Checkout During Quarantine Arts & Entertainment Picks to Checkout During Quarantine graphic by Julie Liu At only 20 years old, Conan Gray has taken the world by storm with his relatable music and mellow singing voice. After releasing his EP “Sunset Season” in 2018, Gray moved on to create his most recent album “Kid Krow” which debuted on March 20. “Kid Krow” showcases intimate music as found in previous albums while diversifying the music with more pop-style tracks. It nostalgically carries listeners through Gray’s high school experiences, from friends to money problems to crushes. Gray makes an ode to his online and personal friends in “Comfort Crowd” and “Little League,” which discuss his childhood relationships, as well as in interludes “(Can We Be Friends?)” and “(Online Love).” These intimate songs are dedicated to those who have supported him on social media since the start of his career. Although Gray is known for more mellow music, pop songs “Wish You Were Sober” and “Maniac” stand out as hit singles-to- be, with the latter already at a ranking of 49 according to Headline Planet. With the impressive vocals, infectious bass line, and teen spirit, there is nothing missing on these tracks. The theme of teenage rebellion continues onto tunes like “Checkmate,” with Gray singing “Cry me a river ‘til you drown in the lake/’Cause you may think you’re winning, but checkmate.” Despite the pop vibe running through “Kid Krow,” Gray still sticks to his root genre with lyrical music like “Comfort Crowd” and “The Cut that Always Bleeds” that explore Gray’s vulnerable side and feature themes of friendship and heartbreak. Without a doubt, “Kid Krow” is not an album to miss. Each song features relatable emotions and poetic lyrics, and although the combination of pop songs and ballads seems somewhat mismatched, it is a great precursor to future music from an up-and-coming artist..

    CONAN GRAY Conan Gray : Schon immer anders US -YouTube -Star mit Debütalbum erneut live in Deutschland Conan Gray ist mehr als nur ein YouTuber. Mit seinen großartigen Songs, einer fantastischen Stimme und unvergleichlichen Ausstrahlung berührt er Millionen von jungen Menschen weltweit. Nun bringt er seinen melancholischen Dream Pop wieder nach Deutschland, um bei vier exklusiven Shows die Fans zu verzaubern: 01.05. Huxleys Neue Welt - Berlin, 02.05. Gruenspan - Hamburg, 05.05. Live Music Hall - Köln, 12.05. Backstage Werk - München. Wenn man mit Conan Gray über seine Kindheit spricht, dann hält er mit der Wahrheit nicht hinter dem Berg. Das Heranwachsen im ländlichen Texas war für ihn keine Freude, also beginnt er mit 12 Jahren Songs zu schreiben, um sich kreativ und individuell auszudrücken. Inspiriert wird er dabei vor allem von weiblichen Künstlern wie den Dixie Chicks, Adele oder Lorde. Sein Herz gilt dem Pop, weshalb er auch auf seinem YouTube Channel zuerst nur Coverversionen bekannter Songs veröffentlicht. Das soll sich aber schnell ändern. 2018 erscheint der Song ›Idle Town‹, den Conan in seinem Schlafzimmer mit einem Billigmikro an einem improvisierten Lampenschirmstativ und einer Software für Hobbymusiker aufnimmt. Mittlerweile hat der Song auf YouTube über 15 Millionen Views und fast 50 Millionen Streams auf Spotify erreicht. Diese Debütsingle ist eine sehr persönliche und emotionale Retrospektive auf eine trostlose Umgebung und wie man sie mit seinen Freunden trotzdem zu einem besonderen Ort machen kann. Conan trifft mit seinem sanften, melodischen und hitverdächtigen Synthie-Pop einen Nerv und verlässt Texas Richtung Los Angeles. An der Westküste tut er sich mit dem Hitproduzenten Dan Nigro (u.a.

  • The Echo: April 22, 2020
    4/22/2020, 9:00AM ‘Kid Krow’ takes yight Conan Gray’s debut album soars on Billboard By HOLLY GASKILL Conan Gray explores the best and worst parts of youth in “Kid Krow.” In just over 30 minutes, Conan Gray tells a story that brings the listener from unabashed tears to breakout dancing and back again. The album, “Kid Krow,” can be summarized by one word: youth. “Accented with the rebelliousness and acoustics of classic rock and supplemented by pop structuring, the album is like rumbling through your hometown memories on a Vespa,” Brendan Wetmore wrote in PAPER Magazine. “It's young, it's loud, it's cinematic — it's Gen Z.” Gray captures youth in every connotation of the word, from the heartbreak of growing up, plights of love and living in the moment. Even the name is a reference to Gray’s youth when he and his friends would joke that Gray’s spirit animal is a crow, both for its darkness and energy. “I always joke that people who listen to my album from top to bottom, by the time they’ve listened to the last song, you know just as many secrets about me as my best friends back home would know, which qualixes you to be my best friend,” Gray told Teen Vogue. It is an album that can be cried along with or played full blast down an open road with friends in the summertime. Unlike groomed Disney pop stars, Gray can speak about the struggles of Gen Z youth from a unique vantage point because of his organic rise to popularity.

  • The Class of '21 Is Virtually Over
    Paul Revere Charter Middle School and Magnet Center Thursday, June 10, 2021 Volume 65, Issue 5 The Class of ’21 Is Virtually Over After about 15 months apart, the culminating eighth-graders will gather one last time. By AVERY ZEMLAK This past year has been un- imaginably different from any other in many ways, from log- ging on for school instead of walking through the front gate, and eighth-graders eating lunch at home most days instead of sitting in the quad which is an eighth-grade rite of passage. One thing, however, stays the same. Paul Revere continues to celebrate their culminating eighth-graders and all they have accomplished. Despite their on-campus time having been cut short, they still were able to socialize with friends, complete all three grades, and most im- portantly learn from themselves, their peers, and their teachers. Although some of the most well-known eighth-grade events could not take place this year due to the outbreak of COVID-19 that caused the school to turn virtual in March 2020, Patriots were able to adjust to these new changes. “Given that we have been hearing about the Disne- yland and DC trips since sixth grade, it is sad knowing that On their last Monday as eighth-graders, Class of 2021 members headed out to Chino for paintball and a picnic. we will not be able to partake in these special activities,” said took place on Monday, June 7.
