Don’t these people realize we are human beings – young human beings and not robots being trained for their version of adulthood? Can’t I at least have one more afternoon at the pool? It’s still hot outside! OK, I have that out of my system. The fall semester is kind of like the lift-off stage of the academic rocket, the winter break that moment of radio silwwence and the spring, the rocky descent back to earth. Right now, I’m just getting used to weightlessness, to floating in the space of the semester. I’m trained; I’m ready and even if I’m not, I’m here. Still would like another afternoon at the pool, though. Yours, De’Andra Dominique Roberts Editor, Bare Fashion Do’s And Dont’s! Let’s not and say we did. This season is all about fun, and col- ors. Why wear bland, khaki, uniform shorts when you can show off your manliness in style? This is more like it. Instead of your basic khaki look, branch out and try some printed, green shorts. Don’t be shy. The ladies will love it! Comedown Machine Is A BUST! Album Review by Annie Weldon The Strokes mixed old and new sounds for their fifth album “Comedown Machine,” which was released March 22, 2013.The first song on the album, “Tap Out,” is a pop electronic beat, but the rest of the album is the same sound from their earlier albums. Their single, “All the Time,” is loud and punchy, and it’s by no means interesting. “Welcome to Japan” is probably the most fun song on the album. With its mix of rock, pop and electronic, it’s up- beat and the lyrics are anything but forgettable. Favorite lyric? “We’ve got to get to work now/Sliding it off your shoulder/ As we’re falling over”. The song is clever, and is the best on the album coming across as positively addictive. The rest of the album is pretty basic and switches from hard on “Partners in Crime” to a softer “Chances”, which is probably the most romantic sounding ballad on the album. The album is decent, but it’s not necessarily their best. If the band wanted to evolve, this was not the album that proved it. In any case, it’s worth a listen, just for the few addictive and impressive songs that tune out the boring ones. TIGER DEAUX-NUTS You can’t get up early enough for anywhere else. product at hand.
