Pop buzz

On Sept. 25, 2005, Las Vegas based pop-punk band Panic! At The Disco released their first album titled "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out." Over 10 years later lead singer Brendon Urie is still showing off his four-octave vocal range in his band’s latest releaseDeath of a Bachelor. Their first album to reach #1 on the Billboard 200, Panic! began releasing singles from this track from April to its release on Jan. 15, 2016. Many of the songs have something like ‘20s jazz behind them, accompanying Brendon Urie’s voice that can range from Frank Sinatra to female opera singer. "Crazy=Genius" and "Death of a Bachelor" illustrate the electric jazz felt throughout the album. Panic! has shed its’ early 2000s pop punk look and have made — and stand out — in a genre all their own.

Sole founding member still remaining in the band Brendon Urie married Sarah Orzechowskiin in 2013, something alluded to in the title of the album "Death of a Bachelor." Once considered a hard partier, Urie's new married life is reflected in many of the songs. Though he has left his past behind him, he is still excited about sharing his life with the person he loves the most. Urie has certainly freed himself of his past-self and these songs really show it. The band and their singer have moved on from their earlier hits but haven’t completely forgotten where they started.

The one and only downside with this album are the three songs included that have been out for months. The third track, "Hallelujah," was released as a single in April of last year. It’s not a bad song, one of their best in fact, it’s just that it’s not as new as the rest of the album.

Still, this is a great way to start off the new year and will make it difficult for other bands’ albums being released this year to compete with the high expectations set by Panic! At The Disco.

Best fast song: "Crazy=Genius" and "L.A. Devotee"

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
