COURTESY PHOTO | JOURDANTON ISD After placing second in the area last year, Jourdanton entered the 2021 marching season with their sights set on the state. Since the state marching band contest is held every other year for the 3A division, the Indians had to wait for their opportunity. Jourdanton won the 3A Area E Marching Contest Oct. 23 and advanced to state for the first time since 2009. Since their first practice in July, Jourdanton Band Director David Torch said the students stepped up to the challenge. "That's been our main objective from the get-go was to get this group to achieve something like that," Torch said. "So we've been in programs that have been very successful, not just as teachers, but as students. And this...

[Photo by Chapman Baehler] How the year 2001 unfolded must've deeply disappointed Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke , director and co-author, respectively, of 1968's masterly sci-fi film 2001: A Space Odyssey . For one thing, the space race had petered out aeons ago, and NASA had walked back its most ambitious dreams. In the meantime, we discovered there were bigger villains to contend with than HAL 9000 . As it turned out, some of them came from within. Yes, this is the year of 9/11 , when al-Qaeda attacked the Twin Towers at New York's World Trade Center and The Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Following the tragic events,  the Bush administration turned its sights on Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and argued he'd somehow masterminded the attacks.

In honor of Ringer Films' new documentary 'DMX: Don't Try to Understand,' Rob and Shea Serrano are discussing the Yonkers rap legend YouTube/Ringer illustration On Thursday, Ringer Films will debut the latest installment of its HBO Music Box series, DMX: Don't Try to Understand . Over the next few days, we're chronicling the rapper's rise and place in hip-hop history . Today, on the 52nd episode 60 Songs That Explain the '90s , Rob breaks down DMX's pain, passion, and unbridled charisma with help from No Skips' Shea Serrano . Let us pray. Every proper DMX album ends with DMX saying a prayer. Usually a capella. Close to the end. Another track or two, after the prayer, in most cases. DMX is the best prayer in rap history. It's not a competition, for the obvious, spiritual, prayer-is-not-a-compe...

JEZEBEL: You released your third album, All the Time , during quarantine 2020. How did that go for you? Do you think the album got to live a proper life? JESSY LANZA: I mean, it definitely wasn't ideal, but it seemed like people really liked it. I'm just happy that it got any air at all. In spite of what was going on, people still listened. It sucked not being able to play shows. I've [since] played one or two shows, and seeing people singing the words and stuff, I was so touched. You have four new tracks on the DJ-Kicks. Were they recorded specifically for this mix? "Seven 55" is a song that's been floating around for a while, but I only finished it once I sent it to Loraine [James]. She brought that song back from the dead. The techno tracks I made in the summer when my friend Ryan Smith, who goes by the name Taraval. Those are newer and I did those special [for the mix]. How did the formulation of the actual mix go? I think I had in the back of my head wha...

I'm adding all of these songs to my playlist. ❤️ Is there a certain song that made you fall head-over-heels in love with the celebrity who sang it? Now, imagine if that song was actually a duet, and you were the person performing the other half of it. It's really not surprising that some singers fall in love with their duet partners, producers, or other musicians who've helped them out in the recording studio or on stage. Here are 15 celebrity couples who fell in love while making music together: 1. Avril Lavigne met Nickelback's Chad Kroeger in 2012 when they met up to write songs for her album Avril Lavigne, got engaged to him a month and six days later, marr...
