Queens of the Stone Age - s/t Kyuss died in 1995. Joshua Homme, Alfredo Hernandez and Nick Oliveri, all former members of the“stoner metal” band, came together again in 1997 to form Queens of the Stone Age. Queens of the Stone Age, the new group’s first album, continued but polished the musical stylings of their previous band. What Queens of the Stone Age did differently than Kyuss was to alter the songwriting formula. Instead of angry, angsty, growling vocals and jams that lead nowhere (see Kyuss - Gardenia), QOTSA utilized short, exact guitar grooves to serve as a foundation for melodic content in the sweetened vocals of Josh Homme (see Queens of the Stone Age - You Can’t Quit Me Baby). Contrasting those two songs further, the lyrical content also shows a clear shift from trite (Hear a purrin motor / and she’s a burnin’ fuel / push it over baby / oh making’ love) to narratively focused (It’s a mistake, but who knows / Followed you home, crawled in your window / This life is a trip when you’re a psycho in love). So while some listeners may argue that QOTSA incorporated “pop” tropes into the rawness of Kyuss by somewhat “softening” their sound, they also moved away from some cliches of metal music in the process. Queens of the Stone Age— the album, was released in 1998. It’s contents clearly mark the distinction between QOTSA and Kyuss. Josh Homme stated that his goal for QOTSA was to create music constructed of such recognizable riffs that a listener could tell within…

Mötley Crüe will wrap up their second Las Vegas residency at the Hard Rock Hotel’s Joint this weekend. The L.A. quartet’s plans after that are up in the air, but the end is nigh for the group. Frontman Vince Neil said over the summer that the band was planning a farewell tour next year. Nikki Sixx confirms that while the timing is not set in stone, the band will at some point in the future set out for one last jaunt around the world as "brothers." As the group gets set to put Vegas behind them,…

The student government body is similar to that of the House of Representatives. Each person on the governing body gets to express their view points. Also like the House of Representatives, the student legislative body is overseen by an assembly or legislative chair. The legislative chair is responsible for setting an agenda to be discussed each week at the general body meetings. On the agenda, bills are up for vote and discussion. Usually, a member of the legislative body will propose a bill to…

process requires the president and congress to work together to create laws. Article 1 of the constitution states that “all legislative powers granted herein shall be vested in a congress of the united states” (Fisher 2007, 84). Congress is made up of two chambers, the House of Representatives and the Senate, both of these chambers share an equal role in creating legislation (Chamberlain 1946). The president also has an important role in creating legislation at the beginning of the process and…

“California equal pay bill may be toughest in nation” (Masunaga 2015). This article was written by Samantha Masunaga and published in the Los Angeles Times. The Los Angeles Times has been in circulation for more than 130 years and has won over 40 Pulitzer prizes. The paper has been accused of having a liberal bias, but I do not feel that it has any bearing on this particular story. Samantha Masunaga attended UC Berkley Graduate School of Journalism. Prior to joining the staff at the Los Angeles…

Of course, Jack and Bill also have more investigations to do thanks to some information that has come to light regarding Mr. Gowen. I simply adore the pairing of these two--kind of like the dynamic duo of the Old West. One has to go by the books, and the other can be a little more creative in his interpretation of the law. Together, they are invincible as they solve whatever crime or perceived crime comes their way. As Bill, Jack is handsome, rugged and certainly committed to justice at any…

brutally executed by Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley who committed the acts under the motive of revenge for the deaths of Eric Garner, Michael Brown and others who died due to police brutality. Prior to the shootings, Brinsley shot his ex-girlfriend, who reported the incident to the Baltimore Police. Baltimore authorities then tracked Brinsley’s and warned NYPD, minutes later the officers were killed. Violent Acts such as this can be prevented, if such programs like the Blue Alert were to be adopted…

from someone who may be too far removed from the middle class way of life and its worries or someone whose suggestions are idealized snippets with little practical value. So, what to do when the refund arrives: Pay those Pesky Bills Most of us have them and if you don't, well then, you're already one step ahead, but many of us have at least one pesky bill. I'm not talking about a medical bill or credit card. They don't really fit into the pesky bill category, what does, however is a utility…

I spent it. Next week another paycheck, I spent that too. My phone bill hasn’t been paid in over 3 months due to no money. And I was having family problems. My car was my get away for all of this. I would go for random rides listening to music, contemplating. Until the recent accident. I woke up on a Sunday, told my parents I was heading to church but I just wanted to drive around. The weather was crazy, raining non stop. I was speeding and lost control on a turn, my car started spinning I over…
