Vinyl records have made a comeback with millennials as we flock to the local record stores to purchase these sleek, black disks. What is it about playing music in this fashion that draws us to keep purchasing and making LPs and EPs? Is it merely the vintage aspect of owning records, or is it something more? I argue that it is the owning of and playing records that creates a new experience of...

I Was a Linkin Park Superfan

Imagine this: It’s the year 2000. You’re six years old, sitting between your parents in your father’s 1994 Flareside Ford F-150. The radio’s playing - Star 94. The song starts with soft piano and a string synth pad. Clean vocals for a second. Then, a rapper and a full band punch in. It’s nu metal time. Hey, kid self. I’d like to introduce you to your favorite band for the next eight...

We’ve all been there: scrolling through movies we’ve seen a thousand times, shuffling through the same old songs, or playing the umpteenth zombie shooter game. Even in this world, where we’re constantly bombarded by information, it can become stale. Luckily for us, it’s very easy to branch out and find something new to enjoy. For everyone from Cinephiles looking to branch out to other...

Henry North September 26, 2016 0 Comments
I always enjoy going to electronic music festivals. Everything about them is always so amazing and grand, and being surrounded by so many like-minded and friendly people who are all there to have a good time is an awesome feeling. This year, I had the pleasure of being able to gain entrance to the Imagine Music Festival, which was hosted at a new venue: the Atlanta Motor Speedway. It was a long...

During my adventures at the Imagine Music Festival this year, I had the great opportunity to interview the lovely and multitalented Leah Culver. She’s not only a DJ and producer of music, but also a singer during her shows. Leah Culver, formerly known as MK Ultra, operates out of New York and L.A. but has decided to grace her hometown of Atlanta with her presence for this amazing weekend. Henry...

Music & Meditation: Stress Relief 101

Brittany J. Rosario May 3, 2016 0 Comments
I want you to imagine a peaceful place full of flowers, sunshine, and palm trees. The smell of the ocean breeze blows under your nose as you dig your toes into the soft white sand. You inhale the good vibes and exhale the bad ones. There is nothing on your mind. You focus on your breathing to find your inner harmony. Usually when I meditate I listen to music. I have even created my own energetic...

[#TBT Album Review] Nine Inch Nails – The Downward Spiral

Griffith Knoop March 24, 2016 0 Comments
Note from the Editor-in-Chief: There was some discussion about whether or not to post this article due to its dark themes and explicit language. I have chosen to put this on our website for two reasons. One reason is that this album (and all music) is art and art doesn't need to be family friendly. The other reason is that the themes covered in the album are feelings and thoughts that are faced...

This album would expand on the intricate and layered sound from the previous album and refine it to an even more unique sound. The album,...
