 Flunk: Morning Star - PopMatters Music Review
Flunk occupy the stylish middle-ground between the sumptuous synth-jazz of early Air and the poppish coffee-bar trip-hop of Morcheeba.
Groups like Flunk, who exist in the quiet median where acid jazz, trip-hop, synth-pop and dub meet and commingle, are dedicated to crafting well-conceived ballads and atmospheric sketches comfortably designed to sooth and satisfy.
Flunk are a good band with modest ambitions, and there's really nothing wrong with that.

 Digital Analogue: Flunk Day commentary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The actual Flunk Day noise, well, to some extent that's just part of having a big party, and I've heard several stories from people who took advantage of the day off to go someplace quiet---one of the city parks, maybe---and read a book or take a nap in the sun.
I think Flunk Day is a really fun experience for most students, and they've been doing a good job at making it "good, clean fun" for the students who once were scared away from it.
Flunk Day sounds dreadful to me, at least it would be if I live on campus.

 The Silence of the Lambs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Starling surmises that she knew Bill in personal life, as Lecter had told her that the needs which Bill serves by killing those women is his eager desire; he had coveted those women and their identities.
She is not going to flunk out, but the FBI is cutting her very little slack.
It is not directly suggested that she was in danger of flunking out.

Flunk's For Sleepyheads Only is a downbeat/chill out masterpiece and Morning Star tries to live up to For Sleepyheads Only but doesn't quite make it.
Flunk's cover treatments of songs, "True Faith" on this album and "Blue Monday" on "For Sleepyheads Only", gives me a new respect for the act of covering songs, a practice that usually falls flat.
Flunk was on a list of customer recommendations from the first couple of things I took a listen to starting at Zero 7.

 [No title]
The Flunk Day proclamation stated that the "B" Ave would be the Student's Domain and made reference to the long passed promised closing date.
Maybe his request had some effect, as about half the student population was not at "B" Ave during the "mild demonstration." It is also plausible that this group was getting ready for the rest of the day.
It was an easy event to start and fortunately illegal acts were limited to a few incidents such as one arrest for throwing fire works in front a police sergeant and for public intoxication later in the day.

 Flunk: For Sleepyheads Only - PopMatters Music Review
Norway's Flunk offer up a brand of hazy, hypnotic downbeat on their debut For Sleepyheads Only that is easy to admire, but difficult to love.
This is the listener's introduction to the previously mentioned Miss Øyen Vister, and she does a nice job here, taking a song that is familiar to millions and confidently making it her own.
But Flunk makes it difficult to recommend their album only because it seems that they could have done far better.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Flunk: All Day and All of the Night Remixes
Flunk's music is exactly what you'd think would pop up in the "club" scene of a teen drama, but instead of being insipid, it's pure pleasure; the tracks on All Day and All of the Night Remixes are in large part specifically engineered to get booties shakin'.
Her voice is pretty and a little twee rather than genuinely emotive, but it's never upstaged by the music's relentless stylishness.
Flunk's members have other projects going on, but both the number of compilations they've appeared on and their appealing sound suggest that they'll soon have their hands full (if they don't already).

 Digital Analogue: Flunk Day II: Flunk Day Bites Back
That seemed a little short, and so I'd thought of switching it to a Friday due date; but I wasn't sure, because this is totally Flunk Day season, and if Flunk Day were Thursday or Friday that would push my Friday due date to Monday, and midterm grades are due that day.
Afterwards, I grabbed dinner on the Gizmo patio with Nathan, who was feeling a bit guilty about not granting a Flunk Day extension for a paper due tomorrow---it had already been extended once, but then, it's Flunk Day.
Flunk Day is a fabulous event that it's too bad more colleges don't have.

North Atlantic Regional High, a private school designed to assist home schoolers, is issuing diplomas to seniors who flunk the Florida test.
One of those who received her diploma from North Atlantic Regional is Stephania Fourron, who failed the reading portion of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test.

 Coe College Concert Band Flunk Day Policy - Today is NOT Flunk Day!
To the extent possible, I would like to honor Flunk Day, but there are certain times, because of performances, that we would not be able to do so.
On flunk day itself (or any day you think might be flunk day), you may call the Coe College Bands Flunk Day Hotline (399-8043) after 10 am to find out about afternoon or evening rehearsals.
I apologize in advance if this plan affects your ability to participate in Flunk Day, but I am sure you can understand that we can not cancel the rehearsals with the guest artist (April 7 and 8), nor the last major rehearsal before meeting with the guest artist.

 Blue Monday Remixes by Flunk at Audio Lunchbox
Flunk, then, is basically about letting the music speak.
The soundscapes are mid-tempo, with the sound of guitars almost always present, putting a kind of rock touch to the chill-out feel and soothing, sometimes almost naïve pop tunes.
Well, by including a cover of New Order's classic "Blue Monday", a lot of the evidence points to the first half of the eighties.

 For Sleepyheads Only's album: Flunk  (djmixed music review)      (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Norweigian folk quartet Flunk is a nearly accidental confab of disparate musicians whose time spent away from previous music-related obligations spawned a most enjoyable listening experience.
A collective composed of a pop guitarist, a drummer from the Norwegian band the Happy Campers, and a medical student/vocalist Flunk don’t quite fit the typical categorization oft allotted to vibey bands of this sort.
Many may try to peg them as trip-hop, nu-jazz, ambient groove or some derivative thereof, but Flunk have a unique style employing traditional muted-guitar with rolling breakbeats, heady basslines, and sweeping vocal arrangements.

 Flunk MP3 Downloads - Flunk Music Downloads - Flunk Music Videos
But at the same time, Morning Star isn't total electronica in the strict sense; instead, what Flunk aims for on this decent sophomore outing is a healthy blend of electronica and alternative pop/rock with a touch of folk on occasion.
And Vister, who obviously shares Björk's love of subtlety and understatement, is quite appropriate for the job.
Morning Star falls short of exceptional, but it's a noteworthy demonstration of Flunk's ability to unite downtempo and shoegazer/dream pop sensibilities with consistently likable results.

There are also others adding layers during the process of making Flunk music, including Ivar Winther and his flute, and Ulphs girlfriend, Tine Skarland singing.
Flunk, then, is basically about letting the music speak louder than the ever flowing words.
The soundscapes are mid-tempo, and with the sound of guitars almost always present, it puts a kind of rock touch to the chill-out feel and pop tunes.

Moonraker, a fine group that came of Boston in 1998, likes to describe their music as "livetronica" -- which is their way of saying that while they have been greatly influenced by the melodies and rhythms of electronica, they aren't totally electronic themselves.
And Moonraker's "livetronica" term could also apply to Morning Star, the second album by Norway's Flunk.

 NowOnTour - Flunk Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The music consists of both electronically programmed sounds by Ulf Nygaard (singer) and actual instruments - guitars, bass, drums, etc. This disc by Flunk comes fully loaded with seven songs, six of which are remixes.
It seems like one entire piece, with movements - yet, each song is different and significant which is hard to do in my opinion.
It's like an indie fusion of funk and electronica, and therefore the band is appropriately named Flunk.

 Splatt Review - 29/10/2002: Mary-Kate and Ashley - Two of a Kind - How to Flunk your First Date
I would not read this book again if it was the last book on earth judging by the size of "how to flunk your first date", I would say that it would be for 7-8 year olds, but the content is more suited to 11-12 year olds.
The 11 year old twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley swap places and dress up as each other to get what they want, but they can't keep it up long enough to keep it their way.
A great book but the second worst in the series (The worst is #5) If you luv these twins (as I do!), you will find this book really interesting.

CHICAGO Dec 21, 2005 (AP)— About a third of U.S. teens would flunk a treadmill fitness test, a new study shows, meaning that more than 7 million youngsters could face higher risks for heart disease later in life.
While that finding is not surprising given previous research showing that about 16 percent of U.S. schoolchildren are seriously overweight it's "very concerning," said Dr. David Ludwig, director of the obesity program at Children's Hospital Boston.
