Cash Cash has made an electrifying comeback with their brand-new album, "Overtime (EP)" which was released at midnight on October 29th, 2013. After a complete shift in music genres, Sam Frisch, Jean Paul Makhlouf, and Alex Makhlouf are climbing up to the top once again, this time, with a new look. The trio has done remixes for artists and groups like Bruno Mars, Krewella, Capital Cities, and many others. You may have heard their lead single for the album, "Take Me Home (feat. Bebe Rexha)", possibly on the radio, and for the MTV promos during the VMAs. Cash Cash moved on to Big Beat Records, which has produced many of today's popular artists, like Skrillex, Icona Pop, 3oh!3, and etc., but as stated before, the group switched music genres completely. Is mainstream the way to go? Possibly. The band has obviously reached success by doing so. Check the album out! It's available on iTunes and through Big Beat Records.
Here is the lyric video for "Take Me Home (feat. Bebe Rexha)".
Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks, is trying to help people watch their caffeine consumption, so the company bought from a mall-based tea retailer for 620 million dollars. Schultz expects to have about 1000 bars opened within the next couple years, all with a specific interior. Starbucks will start to add Teavana (the company who sold it to them) bars slowly, starting with about 300. Of course, they are planning to sell both hot and cold tea beverages, and sooner or later, they'll convert from just the U.S. to world wide. They will be sold as either tall or grande (in coffee terms, that means a 12 ounce or a 16 ounce, typically referring to the amount of espresso you want to taste in a latte for example.)
This is probably a really controversial subject to talk about, but we all know the LGBT community is becoming more and more acceptable here in America, like it or not. A man by the name of Jeff Jones was not able to have affordable health care because he was not able to legally marry his partner, because same sex marriage is not legal in Kentucky, where he is from. His partner, Nathan Walker, and himself have not lived together long enough to be approved for the health care. Jeff Jones is diabetic, so he really wants to know he's covered with affordable health care. Statistics show that the LGBT community has less experience with insurance and health care rather than the general population. Recently, in honor of National Coming Out Day, which was last Friday (October 11th), Kellan Baker released a LGBT friendly website to figure out insurance marketing places.
Even if you do not support the LGBT community, they are people, and they have rights too, just like we do. It's like not giving affordable health care to someone because they have a different color of skin.
Alice Munro, a Canadian author, won the 2013 Nobel Prize for Literature. She is currently 82 years old and they refer to her as the "master of contemporary short story." It's obviously a big thing that she won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Most of what she writes about is set in Ontario, Canada, where she grew up. Alice's books are published here in the United States. The Prime Minister of Canada congratulated Alice Munro on her win through a Tweet and she was quoted, saying the award was a "surprise" but it was "quite wonderful." It is such a huge honor to win such an amazing award, and I feel happy for her! What are your thoughts on her win? Do you think she deserves this prize?
The Government Shutdown is effecting us in many ways. They shut off the Panda Cam... I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING: "Oh no it's just the Panda Cam, no one cares." Yes, we can look somewhere else, but I'm still really upset. This isn't the only thing the shut down has shut off. They turned off their @AsteroidWatch Twitter account, also known as NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab. I also read about goats that won't be monitored by the people responsible for the shut down. So why is this such a big deal? Because it's their job to watch these simple things to keep us safe. The good news out of this, the pandas are being taken care of, and no one will die from asteroids hitting Earth because astronomers are watching out for us. There will probably be people freaking out, but I don't know, they do what they gotta do.
