The other day I received an assignment for our visit to the Argus Leader. I was to interview Robert Morast, the entertainment editor at the Argus Leader newspaper and write a profile on him. That will be another piece, but something he said was very interesting.
Morast interviewed Otep Shamaya, vocalist from the rock band Otep a while ago.
“She’s really cool, very artistic,” Morast said.
VERMILLION, S.D. --Thursday I was in the Al Neuharth Media Center until 10:30 pm working on a speech article. Boring except for the awesome new music that kept me entertained.
During my writing blocks, I took the time to browse the music libraries on Myspace. I found that new music had been added or music was there that I never experienced.
The album from rock band Otep, The Ascension, released in late March, was available for browsers like me to listen to. A new sound and lyrics about the wrongs of the world blared in my ears and I liked it.
