DIXIE SUN - 7 by Kei tli m i g h tno the fo 5P0s- NOVEMBER 5, 2008 Secor but bad artist ad guy, like lt his loving married women and then being sad and lonely, this album is not one you would want to jam out to in your car. The melodies invoke a brand of feelings that only compare to old Yoko Ono albums. While Keith may be a talented singer, it would be in his best interest to employ a lyricist and maybe take a refresher course on basic English grammar. Track five of his CD is illiterately titled Missing Me Some You. This track will most likely lull you to sleep as Keith squeals about missing his women. There is one glimmer of hope in this album: Though the entire CD is a horrible stereotype of backwater toothless country music, Keith does have one song worth listening to.

The beat draws you in from the beginning, but by the end of the song you will feel just as empty as you did when it began because Keith's music is lacking real emotion. How can listeners be expected to get energized about a CD that has the same old boring vague lyrics that Keith's previous albums have had? This 11 track CD is not one to rush to the stores for. Even if you are a lover of country music, Keith will most likely let you down with this album. The tracks in this CD are poorly arranged and lack any kind of musical depth whatsoever. That Dont Make Me a Bad Guy will probably only give you one feeling inside regret for buying this album. -- loss. e Chamber ntroduced to BSC String tear ring read ivee.

You might get a little sad when you cant scrape together enough money to see a new movie or your favorite band in concert. However, there are cheaper ways to be entertained. There are two forms of broke. You can be broke but still manage to set aside $10 for your weekend plans. Then there is the kind of broke where you are literally broke, like if your housing wasnt paid for you would be living in a dumpster. Heres alternatives to being both kinds of broke. New movies are continuously released, and if you are the $10 kind of broke it is no issue. It costs $7 or $8 to see a movie at a regular theater, not including drinks or extra goodies. If you are dumpster-brokyou are probably way behind on your theater days and have no idea what is playing there. If new e, releases have got you feeling down there is nothing like relying on one, or five, of the oldies. Gather around the TV and watch something besides politics for once. "I go to the Resident Life movie nights because they are free," said Phoenix Quevedo, a freshman theater major from Los Angeles. "Plus they have free food, and my friends are there." If you cant afford the movies, you more than likely cant afford outrageous concert tickets. Tickets to Madonna concerts were going for nearly $400. Madonna tickets are nowhere near the realm of college budgets. Although the local bands may not be pop icons, they can be entertaining to watch. Plus, when they are playing on the main stage you will get to say you knew who they were before their egos inflated. Generally a local show is around For the dumpster-brok- e the best alternative is a rousing round of karaoke. This word may inspire $8-$1- 2. some awful memories or send shivers down your spine, maybe one of your buddies doesnt actually sound that bad. Honolulu Grill has free karaoke every Friday night. "It gets really busy here sometimes, and a lot of students come college-ag- e in for karaoke," said Tamore Crichton, assistant manager at Honolulu Grill. If you are feeling brave enough, or you havent packed up your Halloween mask yet, you might find yourself onstage. For those struck by stage fright you can always take advantage of MySpace karaoke or just break out Rock Band. If priceless pieces of art are your forte, the St. George Art Museum is only $3 upon entrance. students Dumpster-brok- e are stuck with the coloring books. Perhaps you could have a coloring or drawing contest with your roommates, and have complete strangers judge them. The winner could very well become the next Picasso. Even if you are broke, you dont have to be deprived of art and culture. into Kurt Cobains unknown life cabled Is Mozart and Bach so they are old as dirt for the most part, said Nathan Bybee, a junior accounting major from Santa Clara, who is also a cellist in the ensemble. The members of Bybees quintet have had two rehearsals a week since the beginning of the semester, one each Tuesday and Friday. Bybee said it takes a lot of time and patience to do all the practicing and rehearsing while still having a full class load as well as other musical obligations. Musicians really sacrifice a lot for what they love, and each and every one of those involved in this performance, and every other performance here at the college, prove their devotion to their music every day, Bybee said. From left, freshman Sami Warnick, a communication major from Wanship; sophomore Shaylee Hoellein, a music major from Roy; and sophomore Brian Galyean, an agriculture major from St. George, have a good time playing Rock Band.

Cross is the only biographer given access, by Cobain's estate, to his effects, stored in a Seattle warehouse. Cross used much of the material when writing "Heavier Than Heaven: A Biography of Kurt Cobain," the definitive biography, published In 2001. But the text in "Cobain Unseen" isn't a rewrite of Cross' earlier book "Its not meant to be a book about new revelations," Cross explained, "but I think there is a new angle on many of Kurt's creative accomplishments. Actually, I did about a dozen new interviews for the book, and used a fair amount of stuff I wasn't able to fit into HTH.' "But, of course, I couldn't make the story arc any different. It's the same life. He's bom in Aberdeen; he dies in Seattle. I did, however, this time focus on the creative work. This is not a biography of Kurt, the man; it is a bio of his art, and that reflects different focus and attention. "The text is all new, but obviously there are many points in 'HTH that are going to be the same. The newest stuff, however, comes actually in the last chapter or so, which reveals quite a bit of new stuff about Kurt's last days. Creepy stuff. I, however, didn't want that to overwhelm the rest of the book, so I didn't make that chapter longer than the others." Cross said he got everything he wanted into "Cobain Unseen," except for a photo of a naked Love, taken by Cobain. "I thought she looked great, but she didn't think so," Cross wrote. "She obviously had the right to axe that. Nothing else about the book did she censor or ask to change." Cross was surprised to find several rolls of undeveloped film among Cobain's effects. Love told him she didn't want to see the photos right after Cobain died, but she and Cross had the rolls developed, and many of the photos appear in the book. "Some of the photos in this book were never seen by anyone other than the photographer through the lens, and sometimes that was Kurt interview. himself," Cross wrote in the "That fact amazed me."
