Good Band Alert: The Blondies
The Blondies

Members Simon Lunche (lead vocals and primary writer), Frank Klopotowski (bass), Jerry Feist (keyboard), Isaac Roth (guitar), and drummers Paul Davis (in studio) and Elias Williams (live performances) worked together to make their first self-produced track, Just Another Evening, which turned out fantastic. I recently had a brief moment speak with them while they were on tour and the following is our interview.

Q: Who are some of your biggest musical inspirations?

A: "Biggest musical inspirations would be The Beatles (all of them), Jeff Buckley. All amazing songwriters. The Beatles were so creative in their recording practices as well."

Q: What do you hope to accomplish with your music?

A: "We hope to give a voice to all those people out there who have feelings that they don't feel comfortable expressing. We also want to help people to feel something, whether it be a feeling of freedom, sadness, relief, happiness. We hope to take our music to the world. We'd like as many people to experience it as possible."

Q: What is your creative process when you guys are putting music together?

A: "Simon is the songwriter, he writes all of the music and the lyrics. When he has come up with a basic concept he brings it to the other members of the band and tells them what kind of feel he wants to evoke, usually with very specific beats, baselines, and solos. Then we all tighten up the instrumentals as a group."

The Blondies are an exceptionally talented group and surely have the potential to make themselves a house hold name. Their music is a refreshing new sound with old school vibes and is definitely worth a listen.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
