Movies and Television on DVD, But Where is the Technology Heading?
By: Jason Stevens
Movies, they have been around to entertain us for over 100 years. Over this time, technology has improved to allow us to watch movies at home via 8mm reel to reel, VHS and Betamax video tape, CD-ROM (VCD movies) and currently DVD format. The DVD format, emerged informally as “digital versatile disc” around 1995. Research by Sony/ Philips and Toshiba around this time came from looking for alternatives to CD-ROM and VHS/Beta tapes as a replacement.
Arundo Donax - How to turn a bog plant into a serenade
By: Victoria K Williams
I began playing the clarinet when I was 11 years old, back in 1984, after many months of pestering my parents. Although I wasn’t particularly good when I started, I loved the look and feel of the instrument and I persevered, and I finally ended up as a music student at Leeds University with the clarinet as my first instrument. I didn’t find the notes that hard when I was a kid; I could produce a tune without too many tears, but my tunes just didn’t sound very nice until I’d got to about grade 6. A lot of young players experience the same problem, and the problem is really twofold- 1) producing a beautiful sound takes lots of practice, and 2) producing a really beautiful sound depends on your reed.

Lost in Translation ‘ 2 Stars (Average)
“Lost in Translation” was written and directed by Sofia Coppola and won enough awards to fill a grocery cart.

How to select a flute instructor
Getting a flute instructor is a bit daunting, but having an idea of what qualities you want in a teacher, it can be an adventure to research and select a new teacher! If flute is your primary tool be positive to discover a flute master (teachers with several specialties?e.g. all the woodwinds?are often well suited to students of numerous instruments). There are available resources in the most remote geographic areas. But, just because an instructor lives next door, this may not be the best suit for your current flute needs.

How Could Chickenfoot Possibly Not Rock!
By: Patrick Daniels
Representations of Rock, also known as: Hagar, Van Halen, Chili Peppers, and Satriani. What happens when you put these rock monsters in the same sandbox? Out pops Chickenfoot. Sammy Hagar is the mad scientist behind this idea. As if he wasn’t busy enough playing guitar, writing music and singing vocals.
Although he did sing with Van Halen for a while, Hagar is primarily well known as a solo rocker. Chickenfoot is not his first grouping of super rockers. Hagar, Shon, Aaronson, and Shrieve, known as HSAS was brought together by him in the mid-eighties. Although these guys were from such greats as Santana and Foghat, Chickenfoot is far and away more exciting than that crew.
Let Any Kingdom Come
By: Suki Cheema
You take and treat the one you love the way you know you shouldn’t and then you watch her go out with someone who is treating her the way you should have. The guilt keeps making you bleed and more so the lost chance of being with someone you truly love:
Let any kind of Kingdom come
for teasing tomorrow will not hide
me from what I have done
from your tears now sharing my eyes
I shouldn’t have said
I shouldn’t have did
you shouldn’t have dared
can you ever forgive?
The Grizzly Bears Do It Again with Veckatimest
By: Patrick Daniels
Grizzly Bear have never been about hype. Their last full-length album, Yellow House, seemed to virtually come out of nowhere to wide acclaim from fans and critics alike. Yet, even on the heels of what many people considered to be the best record of 2006, they toured very modestly, playing bars so small that they could barely fit their equipment through the door, while helping bring exposure to friends such as Dirty Projectors.
