Senior conservatories open Nov. 29


By Carmen Richter

It’s time once again for seniors with theater majors to strut their stuff—time for the senior conservatories.

Senior conservatories are like theses for theater students. Each student in the conservatory class selects a one-act play and is responsible for directing and producing it. In addition, each of the students takes responsibility for an additional aspect of the showcase, such as lighting or advertising. They are graded on every step of the process.

CD Review: Borat

Soundtrack

By Megan Dassuncao

Soundtracks from movies can sometimes be not what a person expects them to be. The soundtrack to the “culturally eye opening” movie, Borat, is just what someone would want it to be.

The CD opens with the song “Chaje Shukarije” by Esma Redzepova, which is definitely not a usual American hit. The song has a strange gypsy feel to it with Greek influences. Most of the other songs on this CD are not like this, but all of them are culturally diverse.

Sitting down with the members of MUTEMATH

By Nick Massie

For those of you who don’t know, there is a new phenomenon crossing the music scene. Releasing their first album in September, MUTEMATH has stormed onto the mainstream. Headlining their own 40-city tour, the band stopped in Jacksonville on Nov. 14. During their stop, I had a chance to sit with the band on their tour bus and chat.

Talking about topics that range from websites like Myspace.com to what it’s like traveling on the road as the headline of a nationwide tour, the band had some pretty funny and insightful outlooks on life and the music business.

If you haven’t been to Jacksonville lately, or if you’re not terribly informed on clubs, you may not know what exactly the deal is with Bourbon Street Station. Generally just called Bourbon Street, this popular club is just south of Atlantic Boulevard and has a plethora of entertainment. A flea market of clubs, if you will. Inside, club goers will find many rooms with various themes and different nightly specials in each.

Taking a look back

By Ray Jarvis

Nearly five year ago I came to St. Augustine to visit a school, Flagler College, the school my cousin had traveled from Africa to attend, and a place I had been building up in my young mind. Now, with less than a month left in a place that has been a focal point in the last few years of my life, I find myself thinking back to the countless memories and life changing experiences that have come my way in this unique place.
