I was surprised by my reaction Korn's talent for tunes Rimes taught me not to take my radio choices for granted By Sarah Mullins Apopka High that overly perfect voice. Boy, was I glad to hit the snooze button and stop her from chirping out any other tunes.

I slowly was starting to despise her and I couldn't help myself. I did think it was neat that someone my age had made it big, but I was wishing she had never been discovered. On my drive to work, I longed for the early morning jokes from the DJs. Instead, I listened to Rimes belt out her version of "Purple Rain." Could it get any worse? By the time I reached work, I was in a rotten mood. I am not the most alert person in the morning anyway, but hearing her voice over and over again did not help.

The day passed by so slowly, Please see RIMES, X-2 pets of its music videos on MTV before I hastily changed the channel. Gazing at the striking cover illustration of a blonde, pony-tailed girl in a red dress playing hopscotch before supposedly jumping off a jagged cliff, I tried to figure out the twisted, deeper meaning. After about 20 minutes of contemplation and still no explanation, I thought maybe I'd figure it out if I just listened to the CD. When I started the CD, all I heard was dead air for almost a minute before track 13 blasted in my ears. Reactions and Moods: After listening to half of the songs, I have to say the music is not that bad.

I'm talking about the drums and guitars, not the actual singing. I want to know Please see KORN, X-3 Name: Christine Galera, a.k.a. the last person at Forest Lake Academy who would be thought of as a Korn follower. Assignment: Listen to nothing but Korn continuously for two days and see if my brain will wither away. Preparation: My brother agrees to hide my pop music CDs in case I'm tempted.

I just have to make sure he remembers where he hid them. I ask my friends what they think of my listening to Korn, and they were either shocked or they wondered why I would do such' a thing. First impressions: Driving home from a very good Bible study group at a friend's house, I felt guilty that I was going home to listen to negative rock metal. All I had heard from Korn before this experience were the snip I seem to find myself flipping through the radio stations on a continual basis, so when I was given the chance to listen to one artist for two days, I thought it sounded like a good idea. But there was a catch: I had to listen to country 48 hours of LeAnn Rimes.

I took a deep breath and realized I wasn't going to be able to turn to Korn after a long day. So I turned to my stereo and slid in her latest CD, Sittin' on Top of the World. The first day went OK, but I will admit I missed channel surfing. The next day awoke to that country voice. I couldn't believe my alarm betrayed me by waking me to Music definitely sets changes your moods said Jennifer Kaiser, an upcoming senior at Winter By Annie Ernst South Lake High little to modify timbre," writes Seashore.

"The singer expressed his musicianship primarily in two ways: in the control of the quality of tone and in phrasing." Seashore explains that musicians who have slow-paced, quiet songs are popular when a person's mood is somber, thoughtful or content. When a person's mood is upbeat and he or she is full of energy, there is a tendency to listen to fast-paced, loud songs with bold lyrics. And it seems that the opposite is true too: Your musical selection determines your mood. "Different types of music determine my mood. If it's an upbeat, lively song, I'll be in an energetic mood.

If it's a more mellow, slow song, I'll be in more of a quiet mood," Park High. For some, getting in the the right frame of mind requires the musical opposite of how they're feeling. "When I am upset, .1 listen to fast-paced music because it's upbeat and cheers me up," said Kelso. "Music definitely has an effect on my mood especially when I'm diving," said Mathews. "A song with a good beat in the morning makes my whole day go great." Students appear to look to music for more than just a mood enhancer.

All you can think about is getting home, slipping into some comfortable clothes and popping a Sarah McLachlan album into your CD player so you can get mellow and relax. After all, McLachlan's music makes you want to sit back and kick your feet up. Carl E.
