Music for the Masses: A New Album
By Austin Price, Editor in Chief
Singer / songwriter David W. Jacobsen is an accomplished artist with a menagerie of work to prove it. His latest album, Music for the Masses, was recently released in 2023. With 7 songs, and a listening time of 32 minutes and 54 seconds, Music for the Masses is a mixed genre album that combines humor with contemplation. Jacobsen sings of contradictions, opinions, and reflections through the lens of both a human, and an artist. The album has an unapologetic response to society’s confines and contains explicit topics. However, this raw and somewhat vulgar approach to his music gives Jacobsen an air of authenticity and a tone of realism. According to Jacobsen, “this album is about the contradictions of trying to create music that other people will like that you still like yourself,”.

Being broken is a fairytale
There’s a beauty
There’s a beast
There’s a rose
And there’s thorns
Bail Reform in the Works

The Georgia House of Representatives has passed a Republican-supported bill that approves a longer list of criminal offenses requiring cash bail. This will stop any charitable funds from being allowed as bail and send more people charged with misdemeanors to more dangerous prisons. Charitable groups can now only post up to three cash bonds in a year and if they go above this, they will also be charged with a misdemeanor. This is not the first time that Republicans have lengthened the list of crimes that require cash bail, with the current number recently surpassing 24.

A Trip to Costa Rica
Caleigh Montoya, Staff Writer
This Christmas break, I went on a trip to Costa Rica! I spent 3 days in La Fortuna and 3 days in Tamarindo. La Fortuna is 4 hours away from San Jose and is surrounded by hot springs and the Arenal Volcano. Tamarindo is 4 hours from La Fortuna and lies on the Pacific coast. I had an experience with the jungle and the ocean aspect of Costa Rica and I loved both! Below are some pictures from my trip.
