MUSIC REVIEW BY: JAY N.

I thought that the newest Ozzy CD named BLACK RAIN that came out was exquisite. I suggest everyone that hasn’t listened to it yet probably should listen to it because it is really a good CD. The first time I ever listened to it I thought that it was probably the best CD that I have ever listened to and that’s the truth from me. I can tell you one thing about me that I really like about the CD. The three best songs that I think are the best is track eight, nine and ten and on number ten they have the coolest beat that I have ever heard. Since I have my own drum set I think that I might try to figure out how to play that beat and it is really an awesome beat and that’s something that you know about me with this CD.

KATIE.T MUSC: Bless The Fall Song: “Guys Like You Make Us Look Bad” Album: His Last Walk

Rate 1-5 Vote 5 My Opinion I love this band! These guys are amazing. They perform like no other and their songs are good. These guys went to Warp tour, this year. Personally these guys are my favorite band. If you like Scremo you’ll most likely like this band.

The Vampire

He runs through the night, Escaping his fear, To want to kill me, The smell of my blood, In his mind,

The vampire in my nightmare, And the love of my life, Golden eyes stare at me, With great pain and sadness, The fear of me dying, Set in his mind,

Bound by love, We can never escape, I ignore his warnings, That he’s dangerous, A threat, Somehow we are never apart,

Yet, the smell of my blood, No, Of me in general, Tortures him, Makes him go insane, Makes me sad,

Sometimes I think he, Will leave me forever, And fear that he might come back, And lose control, And end my life, Never forgive himself, Lost forever in a world or eternal darkness

LOOKING FOR FUN!!!! By Anthony J. H (AJ)/ Guitarist

I am looking for people to be in a band. I am wanting to get some people with guitar, vocals, writing, and drum skills. I am wanting to form a punk/alternative rock band that has fun and good spirit. I am also wanting to think of a band name. Feel free to make suggestions for the band name. I have two band names so far: 1. The Crest Fallen Heroes. 2. The Green Flamingos.

I would really enjoy if you guys voted on the two names or gave suggestions for the band name.

Thank you so much, Anthony J. H (AJ)/ Guitarist

P.S. for contact talk to Annette at the Stars program and ask for A.J. or write back to me on the Artec news website.

Marilyn Manson

I like Marilyn Manson because he is a unique character. In my opinion no one is like him, or you can say he is original. Marilyn Manson once said this “ everyone has a light and a dark side, and neither can’t exist without the other”; my favorite c.d. by Marilyn Manson is The Golden Age of Grotesque, why it is well, it is because when I first started to listen to Marilyn Manson that was his most known one at the time. When he was younger and started the band, he was very heavy metal, actually like dark metal, but now since he came out with his newest album, which is called Eat Me Drink Me he kind of calmed down a bit.

Tyler .W I LOVE YOU BABY!

The band I’m doing my review is called KITTIE and they are an all girl heavy metal band. I know you are most likely going to make fun of them, because of their name, but make no mistake, they are way freaking crazy and you never know what they are going to do next.. Like when they got a new singer, their old singer Amy Lee is now the lead singer of Evanescence. She left, because she really messed up her vocals doing screamo. I understand why you would make fun of them if you’re a guy, because you don’t want to be out done by girls. Guys were the ones who started heavy metal. Their best song I think is Until The End on their cd Until The End, so if you like metal go check out this band.

I’m doing a news letter on world hunger. World hunger is a bad thing to the world. World hunger is killing thousands of human beings everyday, every week, every month, every year, and any time of the day. When you can’t eat your stomach will start eating you from the inside out. If you go look up pictures on the internet of these people in foreign countries that are so skinny that it makes you want to cry. I hate seeing all these people dying from world hunger. If you want to stop world hunger don’t just sit on the couch, get up and do something about it. Do you ever see these commercials on TV where they are trying to get you to call in, and donate some money to help buy them food, clothes, things to go to school, and what ever else they need? If you were starving to death wouldn’t you want someone to help you? If I was that skinny, and that hungry I would have probably already committed suicide. Would you want your own stomach eating you alive? No I wouldn’t. What is world hunger to you? To me world hunger is people all around the world not having any, or enough food so their insides are eating them alive. I would not want to live like that. I would try to help these people, and their kids. You don’t see much of world hunger in America because we have homeless shelters that will help the unfed, and not leave them on the streets to be starving, and no where to live. I hope you care, and do something about world hunger. If you help out with world hunger you will feel good about yourself, and you will be helping out the world. Well, thanks for reading my news letter.

Teach me something

Teach me how to be good in the class that I am in. The class that I am in is so hard, but that doesn’t mean I should not do the work even if it is so hard. The classes are not so hard so I thought I would never pass, but I am so happy that I am almost done. I am happy since I have been here, because I had fun. I kind of like it here, so I don’t really want to go to normal school.

Poetry

I knew I loved you before we met. I think I dreampt you to live. I have been waiting for you all my life. When I look in your eyes. I found my missing piece. If I traded it for one thing wouldn’t that be something. Follow me and every thing will be all right. If you leave I won't be there to tuck you in at night. If you leave I can guaranty you will never find anyone like me.

CREED

Creed is one of the best bands of all times. I have 3 favorite songs like Higher, Arms Wide Open, and What If. Those are my favorite songs. If you want to come down listen to them.

But also I have listened to Creed all of my life. To me it’s one of the best bands of all time to me.

THE MOVIE REVEIW ON 1408

So let’s see I’ll do a movie review on the trippy movie 1408. It’s about this dude that doesn’t believe in ghosts so he goes around to hotels trying to see if there are such things as ghosts. He goes to a hotel where a lady hung her self and the owners think the attic room is haunted by her ghost, but it turns out no ghost, so he goes home and checks his mail in California and he finds a post card that says how about stay in room 1408 in the Dolphin Inn or hotel or something like that so he try’s to reserve the room. The manager won’t let him stay in the room, because there were like 56 deaths of the people that stayed in that room. He goes to New York to stay in the hotel. He tries to get the room, but they still won’t let him so the front desk lady goes and gets the manager and the manager takes him to his office and explains why he can’t stay in the room. The manager tries to bribe him with wine. He takes the wine, but he still wants the room so the manager tells him about the people who died only lasted 60 minutes until they died so he gets to the room and crazy things start to happen………………………But you can find out by watching it yourself go see it if you like those crazy horror flicks like I do you’ll like this one.

The Jem 10 was first inspired in 1987 and since then, IBANEZ GUITARS has built the Jem 11, 12 and 13. The Jem was first built for Steve Vai a blues and instrumental rock guitaist. The first Jem was built in 1987 and had a swirled paint and the Jem 11 had a black finish with a chrome pick guard. The Jem 12 has a white finish and silver pick guard, the Jem 13 was a 7 string guitar instead of a normal 6 it too was white The Jem 20th has a SOLID ACRYLIC body with neon paint and lights. It’s a 6 string with Diamarzio pick ups and a leaf fret inlay. The Jem 20th beats all the models before it. Ibanez has built a mean guitar. PRICE?? $666,600 dollars.

Dear ARTEC, I have a problem! There is a certain peer here that wants me to go out with him. I told him no because ARTEC dating is against the rules, and I also told him to leave me alone and not talk to me, but he still does. So can anyone help me???!!! Sincerely, Miranda

Music Review

I‘m doing my music report on Brother Lynch. What I think of his music is I think that his music helps people calm down when they’re angry. And I think his music tells a lot about him and how he lives. Another thing I like about his music is that most people don’t listen to him, so when I listen to him no one else is listening to him when I’m going around everywhere. One of the songs I like Is Refuse to Lose. One of his album’s I like is the Rip Cut Collection.

PLEASE READ!

Dear ARTEC,

There is a girl here that is really cute. I don’t know how to tell her what I think of her, so I’ve been silent about it. I am starting to like her a bit. I don’t even know her name, that’s what’s silly. I had my friend tell her that I think she’s cute, but I don’t know if he told her. So if you guys could give me some advice, that’d really, be helpful. THANKS

Sincerely, Austin R.

Fall Out Boy Under the Cork Tree Under the Cork tree is an awesome CD filled with love songs, rock songs, and just calm relaxing songs. One of my favorite songs is: Sugar We’re Going Down. Their band is pop music. I like their music, because it's fast paced. So try this CD. By” James C. III

There once was a cat named Larry. Who tripped and slipped on a berry. He tumbled and tripped He rolled and he flipped And he ran straight into Harry.

Six sea turtles spit sprite sadly. Five frogs catch free Fritos falling. Tattle tellers tell tall tales. A big balling baby bounces bowling balls. Loitering lamas lick luscious lemons.

Bad News Bears

By Trevond Malone

Outtakes of this movie: is where the coach of the bears is like "Get it together will you?" and the girl said "Stop crying," and threw the ball and hit a glass.` Second outtakes of this movie: is when the coach said "Ok break it up, break it up, what the hell is this about?" Then Joe said, "He’s a jerk, he thinks he’s better than us." "Who?" said the coach. Jeff said, "Joe." "Joe", said the coach.

Spring On XiangJiang River

Spring on XiangJiang River is the name of the cd

The instrument that is played on this cd is called gu zheng. Guzheng is a 21 stringed zither that is played with the right and left hand. It is called the Chinese floor harp. Some of the guzheng players put finger picks on all fingers. Guzheng dates back 2500 years in the Qin dynasty in the warring period. Legend has it that guzheng was created by an old farmer man. He had two sons and they both loved to play the instrument. One day the man was sick and dying and both the sons wanted the instrument so the old man was so stressed he split the instrument in two thus gu-zheng was born. Some songs that are played on this cd are Chun Dao XiangJiang, Moon on high, Chant of Yellow River, Evening Song of the Fisher Mans Boat at Dusk.This is a wonderful magical sounding cd.
