Simply defined, a rave is a party--often an all-night-long party--at which some form of electronic, or "techno," music is played, usually by a deejay.

The song has turned some ears obviously, since I've been getting requests to play it in my DJ sets. How much do I hate it and its basic Eurotrance-by-numbers beat? How many words for "cheese" are there? Bleu cheese, cheddar, Brie, Camembert, Parmesan...
...this program to raise awareness about public schools, so I set off to accomplish the two things I've wanted to do since I was 15: find out what teachers talk about in the faculty lounge and commandeer the p.a. system. I was going to use my light-rock deejay voice and keep repeating that principal has the word pal in it until everyone got really creeped out. I was planning on being Principal for Half...
