Music Mondaze: Album Of The Week
Melody's Echo Chamber

In 2012, Melody Prochet, French psychedelic rock musician, released her first solo LP, "Melody's Echo Chamber."The self-titled debut album, released by Fat Possum Records, features psychedelic sounds with the perfect utilization of synth.

It was produced by Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, and the pair worked primarily in Parker's Perth studio in Australia. It's easy to tell the clear influence Parker had on Prochet, as a majority of the album emulates that of Tame Impala-esque sound. While Tame Impala features more rough-sounding synths, Prochet truly and successfully achieves a natural, dream-pop sound.

Prochet uses a mixture of English and French lyrics that are equally captivating. Prochet's voice perfectly intertwines with the dreamy instrumentals, the two aspects meshing well to form a warm and lo-fi-sounding range.

"Quand Vas Tu Rentrer," or, in English, "When Will You Come Back," is a favorite among fans, enamoring listeners with a whimsical and playful approach in its noticeable synchronization with drums and synth. Prochet exercises her use of a vocoder exceptionally, accenting the track especially well.

"I Follow You," possibly the most Tame Impala-sounding song on the album, features Parker on drums and bass guitar, along with a solo guitar riff from the legend himself. The song is the perfect balance of softness in lyrics and dreamy, inspired vocals. While Prochet shows a lot of influence from Tame Impala, she is an artist in her own right, completely herself throughout the album. It is her masterpiece and her own distinctive sound that is successfully shown through this debut album.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
