Alternative rock legends release first track from upcoming album

By Josh Torzillo

Alternative rock trio, Muse, released the first single off their upcoming album “Drones.” The track, titled “Psycho,” shows a return to Muse’s riff rock tendencies of the ’90s, mixed with the more structured, anthem-like sounds of their more recent albums. Muse has been at the forefront of alternative rock music for over a decade and, with “Psycho,” they recycled a riff used in concert jams from their early days and turned it into an almost radio-friendly single.

If you are an Odd Thomas fanatic, like me, then you were both excited and saddened by the release of Dean Koontz’s final installment in the Odd Thomas series, “Saint Odd.” The novel promises a conclusion to the 12-year-long series that I have been reading, religiously, as each book has been released. “Saint Odd” picks up where the story left off in the previous novel, “Deeply Odd,” with Thomas returning to his hometown, Pico Mundo.

By Josh Torzillo

Singer John Legend and actor/rapper Common teamed up for the soulful Oscar-winning song “Glory,” which was written for the Oscar-nominated film “Selma.” While the historical drama itself was snubbed from any Oscar wins (which led to a lot of buzz about the Oscars being racist or biased), “Glory” took home the win in the “best original song” category.

Bluegrass brings twang to Thought Lot

By Laura Kreiser

Walking in the Thought Lot Saturday night, the first thing many people heard was the sound of a mandolin, guitar, fiddle, banjo and many more bluegrass instruments that were full of twang as the band Seldom Said No and Jerry Rigged took the stage for the night. Seldom Said No was the first band of the night, and it covered songs, such as Led Zepplin’s “Going to California,” “Shadowplay” by Joy Division and “Hey Darlin’, Do You Gamble?” Seldom Said No also ended up adding another member as they played — Scott Matlock on the fiddle. About an hour later, the night switched over to Jerry Rigged, another local band from Chambersburg.
