Ponder High School students took advantage of the opportunity to support cancer awareness and raise money to help find a cure by working and walking at the Relay For Life at the UNT football field in Denton on Saturday. Sixty-five individual students volunteered to help with the children’s play area from noon to 6pm, coordinated by sophomore English teacher, John Williams. He has gathered volunteers for several years now with a number of them being students straight from his English classes. The PALS group, along with their advisor Mary Koleber, also donated their time to the cause. Each PALS students walked the track for one hour and also worked at least one booth. This is a way for students to not only donate their time for volunteer hours, but to also learn about and help this great cause. Student volunteers get to see that their time makes a difference.

Play Radio Play! Texas Originally from Aledo, Texas, Daniel Hunter has finally released his full length album, TEXAS. The (formerly) one-man project titled, PlayRadioPlay! is gaining popularity in the pop-punk/electronica scenes. After completing last years Warped Tour and later touring with big names such as Fall Out Boy and Gym Class Heroes, Dan, as he is known to fans, jokingly says his sound is “Texas Straight-Edge Softcore”. Tired of straight-edge hardcore crowding air waves, he uses gentle beats and quirky lyrics to make light-hearted music that seems silly, but holds deep meaning. He says he named the album TEXAS for the love of the state. “I assumed somebody had named their album ‘ Texas’ before, but no one had,” Hunter said. “I had to do it before someone else did!” Signed with major label Island, the album definitely lives up to all of the anticipation. From the song titles, that display Hunters eccentric sense of humor, are misleading of the real emotion he conveys in the actual tracks. The first single, “Madi Don’t Leave” was written for his girlfriend and the difficulty of her moving away for college. The opening track, “Loco Commotion” starts the disk slowly then draws you into the repetition and dynamics that string the songs along into one beat driven, soft sounding, set of rhythms. Slight diversities like the almost acoustic sound of “Tooth Decay” to the chorus humming in the background of “Pirate and Princess” really give the music character and you can feel from the lyrics that the songs have more personal meaning to Hunter than fans will ever comprehend. With a sound somewhat like Metro Station, Hellogoodbye, or The Postal Service, this happy music is well worth taking a listen. |

Cloverfield A monster attacks New York City. That is a very simple story line and has been used many times in movies, the most famous being Roland Emerich’s “Godzilla.” This movie, however, takes a different approach. The entire movie is shot with a hand-held camera being controlled by one of the people who is running away from the giant monster. The movie begins in New York City with a party thrown by a group of friends to see their friend Rob off for a new job in Tokyo. The party is going fine until a huge explosion suddenly goes off outside of their apartment. Following the explosion is an amazing scene where the Statue of Liberty’s head rolls down the street. As the group of friends are about to leave the city, Rob gets a panicked call from his ex-girlfriend who is in danger. Rob then has to go through the city with his friends to try to save her. I will start this portion of the review off by saying that this style of filming is not for everyone. The camera is shaking the whole time, everything moves really fast and at times you may get nauseated. But even if this is not your type of style, you cannot deny that the shaky camera makes it seem more real. The actors all give very real performances in this movie and the special effects are very good as well. So if you’re looking for something different or unique you should definitely give “Cloverfield” a try for its originality. Starring: Michael Stahl-David, Mike Vogel, Odette Yustman, and Lizzy Caplan Rated: PG-13 for violence, terror and disturbing images Cloverfield hits the shelves on Apr. 22. |
