After an intermission that was probably only ten minutes but felt like an eternity, the lights at the Fillmore Theater in Miami Beach dimmed and the crowd erupted into deafening cheers and whistles as “The Flood Tour” started. The anticipation for the moment everyone in the audience had been waiting for since they bought their ticket is nearly palpable. Finally, the drummer starts, setting the rhythm, followed by the guitarist and bassist until lastly the vocalist starts singing and the fans…

The clay walls of the old hut pressed in on her, hairline cracks lining the sun-harrowed mud. Dark tendrils curled about her face like smoke, shadows alive as the danced ever closer, but they waited, waited for the raven-haired man's command. The man, creature, was painful in his beauty, obsidian eyes hooded with apathy as his outstretched hand guided the whipping midnight. The woman coughed amid the thinning air, breath escaping her blue-tinged lips and hanging in a silvery cloud before her.…

The moment he stepped out on stage, a rush of glee and utter blissfulness washed over my entire body. Tears, laughter, smiles. The man I had waited years to see was standing in the same room as me, preparing to perform for thousands of screaming fans like myself. Clad in flannel and jeans, he began to strum his guitar. Finally, he opened his mouth and the angelic sound filled the charged arena. My dad looked at me and smiled, so happy to see me experience the greatest moment of my life. When Ed…

cognitive and physical development. Lead in the environment is primarily related to a legacy of anthropogenic sources including leaded gasoline, leaded paint, and various industrial applications. Although the presence of heavy metals is ubiquitous in the environment, heavy metal contamination in soils is generally the result of anthropogenic sources. These sources have been mostly phased out in North America during the past several decades. However, Pb contamination is a persistent problem…

Title? The loud noise of noblemen screaming and cheering filled Avary’s room. She peered out her open window, observing the jousting duel that was occurring outside on the castle field. There were horses dressed in the finest golds, as well as, jousters of all noble origins. Sighing, she went back to preparing for her entrance. As a lady of the court and the grand princess of her kingdom, it was her duty to dress her best. Slowly, she placed her silver tiara on her head, tilting it at the…

(vocals), Ryan Heggum (lead guitar, vocals), Angela Peyton (guitar), Corey Cota (bass) and Ryan Loomis (drums). This was also their first national tour of any kind. Heggum with his screaming vocals paired with his waning guitar pulled out the heavy metal attributes in their music. One of the songs that really struck me and displayed a softer side to their music was "Empty Beds In Hospital Rooms". It was written about a childhood friend Juliano lost. Not only could you hear the emotion in his…

Frederick Delius once said that "Music is an outburst of the soul." This goes for musicians and listeners alike, and could easily pinpoint the ideal behind Los Angeles band Boigirl. Reviving the emo and post -hardcore music scene in December, with their debut single "Casualty Count," the So.Cal's band expressive attitude resurfaces the angst that every hard-core kid once possessed. Lead by frontman Casper Purtlebaugh (vocals), Chris Scott (guitar), Josh Chapman (bass), and James Kohlmeir…

Muhlbock ___________________________________________________________________ Craft & Tool: Reverse Engineering Report By: Mat Bennett Introduction: The media work I have chosen to explore is Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven; arguably one of the most requested, referenced, and highly regarded rock ballads in the history of recorded music. The song was created as what was consciously the heart of their fourth studio album; aptly named, Led Zeppelin IV. This songs progeny…

in their hands too. Isn’t there some sort of security screening for this? Seems kind of crazy given the grave nature of this event. The force dome powers off and I drop to the floor between Jenn and Amanda – The Games Master still tangled in the metal ribbons of my exosuit, several meters above me. The bloodied loves of my life try to recover, but neither is able to muster the strength to do so. The on-coming crowd begins to get loud. Like… riot, kill everything and everyone loud. I figure I…
