10 Broadcaster Press March 3, 2020 www.broadcasteronline.com Tanager Take February 2020 Vermillion High School’s Student Newspaper SuperBowl LIV “The Worst Two Seconds in Music History” Sweet Trip is a band. They are from San Francisco, California. They have a song called “Fruitcake and Cookies”. At exactly four minutes and twenty-four seconds in, the instrumental, consisting of a plucky guitar melody sitting atop a harsh, glitchy beat, gives way entirely. At four minutes and twenty-six seconds, the music returns; this time it appears as a wall of sound, bursting with distortion and heavenly vocals. In between these two moments are the worst two seconds in music history. album, at least for a brief period of time. During the previous three songs, the band creates a musical world shown perfectly by the cover. One that evokes the natural beauty of a rainbow and vast clouds, but also features the undercurrent of a uniform and mechanical future. This world is all-encompassing and immersive, at least until those two dreaded words are spoken. “Breakdown baby”. When co-singer Roberto Burgos utters this phrase, the world that has been built up for the past 1,159 seconds is shattered like glass. And the reason why is a simple one: it’s humorous. Velocity: Design: Comfort. is a good album. Its blend of electronic glitch pop and noisy indie rock draws from very clear influences but, combines them in a beautiful way that is uniquely its own. I make that statement as a preface for this one: the two seconds in question kind of ruin the Humor is a wonderful thing, obviously, but it can be direly misplaced. I recently watched the 2009 film Moon, and it also featured some illadvised humor. For a few brief scenes during the middle of the movie, two clones of the same person meet each other, and the tone turns from dramatic and somber to sarcastic and light-hearted, before returning to its original mood. The humor feels awkward and out of place, much like the “breakdown baby” moment I so loathe. Immediately afterward, the album retreats back to what it does well. However, it feels somewhat off. Like the rest of the song is not quite genuine. Thankfully, however, this feeling is long gone by the time the hour and thirteen minutes run time is through. Perhaps some greater life lesson can be extrapolated from this, that little mishaps that seem monumental at the time have little impact on the whole. I don’t know, I’m not a philosopher. “Go Chiefs!!” Photo Courtesy of DARLA RECORDS Pros & Cons of “You” We all know the creepy, suspenseful, nail biting show called “You”. Honestly from the first episode I was hooked. Just the way that Joe, the main character, articulates anything and everything he does, had me snagged from the beginning. When the show was first recommended to me, I was a little skeptical, but I binge watched the whole season in three days, and had to wait for almost six months for the second season to come out. Not going to lie, the whole stalker view of the show scares me but then again it also opens my eyes. Typically when we hear these stories the POV is that of the victim. However this show is told through Joe’s eyes, the eyes of the stalker, and he believes that he is protecting Beck, the victim. But in reality he is just killing these people around Beck so that he can have her all to himself. So really Joe is just a psychopathic killer who gets away with it. Like honestly, how do you get away with that many murders? The cops have to find out at some point. Since this show is based in modern times you would think with that many murders all linked together, they would hire a detective to find out who did it. I personally think the show was way too good for the message that it was trying to portray. I think that if you didn't like the show you hated it because of how creepy it was and how real it appeared through the killers eyes. -Emily Nau The show “You” is definitely a creepy and suspenseful show, and I too was drawn in from the beginning, but after the show continued on I started getting bored.This show definitely has its good parts, but once it started repeating what happens I saw it as very predictable. I just watched this show in January and I gave up after watching the first couple of episodes of the second season. The first season was just over all better, but it was something that was not for me. vermillion.k12.sd.us I found it interesting as well how it showed what can happen outside of what we see in our everyday lives. I never saw it as Joe trying to protect her really, I just saw him as a straight-up psycho. I simply did not enjoy this show because it was just weird and not my type. I think maybe if he did different things rather than repeating himself it could have been much better. Also, he claims he loved Beck, but The end of the football season has rolled around and we find ourselves on Super Bowl Sunday. This year in the Super Bowl we had the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs.The Super Bowl was hosted in Miami Gardens, Florida.The national anthem this year was sung by Demi Lovato; for the halftime show this year we have Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. This is the first time in 50 years that Kansas City fans have seen their team in the Super bowl. This year we are in for a great game as this is the first year since 2016 the New England Patriots have not made it to the Super Bowl. I took a poll on the newspaper Twitter page asking everyone who they thought would win and Kansas had the poll by two votes, both teams have worked so hard this year to get here. Now one of my favorite parts about Super Bowl Sunday is all the good game day snacks. “...honestly, how do you get away with that many murders?” he moved on from her so quickly onto Love. He also just “fell in love” with Love so quick, like love at first sight, I don’t think it can work literally that quick. Another thing I found quite weird about this show, was how often he fantasized. That was just weird. I overall did not enjoy this show as much as the hype it has implied I should have. -Ryli Palmer TWITTER POLLS CONDUCTED BY MYA DEJONG, SOCIAL MEDIA REPORTER. Pilot Pete looks for love in Hometowns The drama on the Bachelor is heating up! It was hometown dates, and only four girls left. The four girls left are Hannah Ann, Kelsey, Madison, and Victoria F. Peter went to Knoxville, Tennessee to meet Hannah Ann’s family first. This date I think went very well. Hannah Ann previously wrote a letter to Peter saying all the things she loves about him. When Peter talked to Hannah Ann’s dad, he told him that there’s something real there with her. Her dad told him not to tell her he loves her unless he’s for sure. Hannah Ann’s dad is very protective of his daughter and I think it’s a good thing. Hannah Ann is one of my top two choices. I think she’s very nice and considers other people’s feelings before her own and that stands out in her. I think Hannah Ann is a good match for Peter. The next thing we know, Peter is in Des Moines, Iowa. He’s in Kelsey’s hometown now. I personally don’t like Kelsey that much. She seems like a girl that only cares about herself and thinks highly of herself. Her mom told Peter that when Kelsey loves someone it’s true love, but I don’t believe this. I think Kelsey went on this show just to become well known and she doesn’t really care if she finds true love with Peter. Peter then went to Auburn, Alabama to go see Madison for a Everyone has different snacks, whether it be wings, chips and dip, little hot dogs, or pizza. My personal favorite being wings. We also took a poll for this to see what the favorite Super Bowl snack was this year, and the winner by a landslide was wings. Now while you're sitting down eating all those tasty snacks make sure to pay attention to the most important football game of the year. Another one of my favorite things about Super Bowl Sunday is all the commercials. Usually I hate commercials during the game but this is when they bring out all the good and worth watching commercials.This year was a nail biting game. It had me on the edge of my seat. I was personally rooting for the Chiefs. The 49ers had it in the first half and I was sure they were going to take the game, but the Chiefs had an amazing comeback that they worked hard for all year. hometown date. I think Madison is a great match for Peter. Whenever they are together, they are so giggly and silly. Neither of them stops smiling when they’re with one another. Madison is so kind and sweet and she just lights up a room when she walks in. Although there is one important thing that Madison hasn’t told Peter about saving herself for marriage, I think Peter will totally understand and it won’t bother him at all. Oh my, where do we even start with Victoria F! For starters she loves to start drama. When Peter went to her hometown Virginia Beach, Virginia, it was a disaster. The beginning of the date started out great, they took old time photos, got ice cream, and even went to see Hunter Hayes sing. They danced and sang while Hunter Hayes stood in front of them singing, but then the night came, and it was a disaster. One of Peter’s exs stopped him after the concert and said watch out for Victoria. He asked why and she replied that she likes to break up relationships. With Peter being in Victoria’s hometown he knew he needed to ask her about it, so right before he went to meet her parents, he brought it up. Victoria didn’t act the right way. “Victoria didn’t act the right way...” Therefore, I say she likes to start drama. When Peter brought it up to her she started yelling at him and crying. If she would’ve just calmed down and handled this in a calmer way this night would have turned out differently. I strongly don’t think that Peter should go with Victoria, with his other options like Hannah Ann and Madison I think he could find the right one for him.
