Arts + Entertainment
The central nexus for all things film, gaming, art, and music.
Hardwork and Natural Talent
Are you familiar with FLCL, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and Kill la Kill? What do they have in common? Right smooth and powerful animation. Studio Trigger had been known to deliver these jaw-dropping animations, but this time, let's give credit to the man responsible for creating these works of art: You Yoshinari. He is the key animator that put all those animations into life.

A Double Feature
Part of my preparation for Jasmine’s visit was picking out movies for us to watch while she was down here. The three I chose were the 1990 film adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale, since we both watched the recent Hulu series, and Moana, which we saw together in theaters on my last birthday.

Pretty Little Liars
It was a bittersweet ending for all the liars a few weeks ago. Some of us enjoyed the finale, some of us hated it. Others were left with more unanswered questions. The following is how I felt about the finale, as well as many of my unanswered questions.

BTS- A Beginner's Guide to the K-Pop Boy Band Taking the World by Storm
If you watched the 2017 Billboard Music awards earlier this year you would have seen that the highlight of the evening was the Social Media award going to the K-Pop group, BTS. But who is BTS? BTS is a 7 member group based out of South Korea, that debuted in 2013 under the company BigHit. BTS stands for Bangtan Sonyeondan (방탄소년단). Before this year the English translation of this name was "Bulletproof Boy Scouts". However, as of this year they released a new translation for their English audiences. The new name is "Beyond the Scene".

Musicians Who Became Famous Through YouTube
With the abundance of bands, solo artists, rappers, DJs, and singing groups, there is a massive amount of musicians that one would have to surpass to climb their way onto the top music charts. And if that seems hard enough to get onto the charts, imagine how hard it is to get your name and music out there so people will begin to listen and appreciate the music that you have created. There are millions of people that put themselves out there and post their own videos on YouTube. Whether you rap, sing, or play a weird musical instrument, all that you dream for is for someone to discover your talent. Luckily enough for those who have such dreams, there are in fact musicians who became famous through YouTube.

Should Playing Music Make Us Happy?
I love yoga and I love music. I often create parallels between the two practices, both so connected to the breath and body, connecting the physical body with the mind and spirit. I noticed a significant improvement in how my music practice made me feel after maintaining a regular yoga practice. The things I learn about one also help me to relate to the others. Recently, I listened to an interesting podcast from Brett Larkin Yoga entitled: What to Do when Yoga Doesn’t Make You Feel Happy and couldn’t help but think many of the points applied to music.

Kanye West 'Graduation' Review
Opening Opinion: 9.5 My hype for this album was very high. It’s kind of a hard feeling to describe. I had heard enough singles from the album to know that it was dope. However what wasn’t apparent to me is this going to be his best album, or not. Graduation certainly lives up to that hype….and it’s my favorite rap album ever.
