CD Review: The Killers

Sam’s Town

By Ashley Emert

I am going to be honest here: it had been a long day and I was incredibly sleepy as I was listening to this album. Even though I was falling asleep with my headphones on, I still found myself bobbing my head to the music (and, no, I was not just nodding off). The Killers’ new release, Sam’s Town, is yet another effort that gets me dancing when I am at my most tired.


CD Review: Diddy

Press Play

By Nick Massie

Have you collaborated with Diddy? Because every else has. Even Brandy, who he brought back from retirement. With the drop of his new album Press Play, he has officially become a bad boy for life.

With beats ranging from an instrumentalist flow, to the hip-hop shake your booty dance hits, Diddy can almost do no wrong. With collaborations with the likes of Big Boi of Outkast, Christina Aguilera, Ciara, Twista, Mary J. Blige, Keyshia Cole, Jamie Foxx, Shawnna, Brandy, Nas, Mario Winans, Cee-Lo, Timbaland, Avant, and many more; the album has a flow that could fit almost any fan of music.

Consistency leads Slater to eighth title and utter surfing dominance

By Ray Jarvis

On Oct. 13, Mundaka, Spain, became a world stage when the world’s top surfers converged on one of the world’s best lefts.

With two events still remaining on the Foster’s Association of Surfing Professionals Men’s World Tour, Kelly Slater cannot be surpassed by anyone. Taj Burrow (AUS), Andy Irons (HAW), Joel Parkinson (AUS), and Mick Fanning (AUS) all had a fighting chance going into Mundaka, the ninth stop on the ASP tour, but could not stop the force to be reckoned with that is Kelly Slater.

Winning his eighth title, Slater did so in a year he considers to be one of his most relaxing years on the pro tour.

“This has been my most consistent season ever,” said Slater in an interview on Surfline. “I’ve been much more relaxed this year. I’ve just been cruising and having fun and haven’t put so much pressure on myself.”
