I was sitting in my room doing work on Feb. 24 when my phone lit up with a notification: “Roberta Flack, enduring songstress, dies at the age of 88.” My heart dropped; for me, Roberta Flack is one of those people whose voice you imagine as soon as you hear their name, and Flack had one of the most powerful voices of her time. “Killing Me Softly With His Song” is iconic in its own right, but any time I hear it, I am transported to the passenger seat of my mom’s car, Flack’s voice thundering through the speakers as I quietly sing along, careful not to get so into it that I can’t hear the track. This week’s Test Spin is a review of the 1973 record Killing Me Softly in honor of Roberta Flack — thanks for always tugging at my heartstrings in just the right way.

Last week, art was used, as it so often is, to capture the feeling of the nation. On Saturday, Feb. 22, the Internet was left buzzing after the Army Choir made a very fascinating song choice at the Governor’s Ball. While performing for President Donald Trump, who recently styled himself as a “King” on X, the army sang “Do You Hear the People Sing?” from the musicalLes Miserable. The song, which is about revolution against a king, felt especially ironic seeing that only last week many Anti-Trump demonstrations took place on Presidents’ Day, with many entitled “No Kings on Presidents’ Day” or “America Has No King.” Many have seen the Army’s song choice as an intentional slight against the president, some have gone as far as to say it is a call for rebellion against his many new orders and some have simply viewed this choice as a highly humorous troll. Whatever the case, this moment has reaffirmed the use of art to discuss world events, something Les Miserable is actually quite accustomed to.

A new addition to the food scene in Ithaca is always exciting – especially one that is so conveniently located in Collegetown. Big Red Food Court opened on Feb. 20 and sparked all of our interests in its relationship with the university that the name alludes to and the status it would achieve in the eyes of students, faculty and others dining in Ithaca. After seeing all of the chatter on Sidechat, the Lifestyle Department decided to put this newcomer to the test.

I wrote about Rupi Kaur — how her poetry is bad and I despise her success, et cetera. I thought that was all I had to say. But then, I was alerted to a poet. Her digital scent wrapped around my sinuses and may have been the cause of at least one of the infections I’ve had in the last year. It was as if, as a Cornell student, I had just woken up in early spring, gotten ready for the day, and stepped outside, only to get punched in the face with that oh-so-pleasant organic fertilizer (manure) that gets threaded into the greenery along every path I take to class. Just replace the fertilizer with Raegan Fordemwalt and you will get the picture I am painting.

The first David Lynch movie I ever saw was Mulholland Drive, when my sister and I picked it for a movie night. I had heard of it as a kind of culturally important film, but I wasn’t prepared for how much it would affect me. It was so unsettling that I felt fear through my whole body, tensing every time the score ramped up, dreading why Rita was almost assassinated and wondering who might be after her now. Like most people, I didn’t fully understand the movie on my first watch, but on my second watch, I just cried and cried at the Club Silencio scene. It’s one of the most emotionally impactful films I’ve ever seen and one of the few to invoke a real, visceral reaction in me. In the wake of the great David Lynch’s death in January, I, and many others, have been moved to further explore his work, viewing his films that we hadn’t watched before or reflecting on the ones we already had.
