They are making the pita people overwhelmingly happy with their selections down at the brand new Carolina Craft Butchery. Used to be, you had to stalk them at farmers markets to get goods from them, as their farm is not one that is open to the public. Now, you can just go visit them at their new Davidson storefront. Photographed here are Lee and Domisty Menius with their children Rosty and Charlie. This family is a My City Magazine favourite when it comes to representing the small farm and they are now proudly providing a place for other regional sources to sell their wares. This meat and cheese boutique has representation from www.ChefAlyssasKitchen.com, Johnny Ray’s Favourites, and www. QCCheese.com. “We buy whole animals from locals allowing us to do custom-cut butchery and maximize the support of our own farmers,” Menius says, when describing what to expect in his spot. At any given time, you can find great chorizo, lamb chops, chicken breasts, and more. Anyone can go home with something they desire, while feeling good about keeping the good ol’ boy in business (Rogers Cattle Company and Sharon Hill Farm, just to name a couple). Go down there and check this place out and don’t be shocked if you see two handsome, young men being prepped for their legacy.

This year, October has a Friday the 13th, so there may be extra special opportunity to take in the mayhem. These haunted attractions put on productions that are worth the drive and the admission. Netherworld Haunted House - Atlanta, GA Netherworld is the undisputed king of haunted houses in the region. Each year, this juggernaut undergoes re-imagining and reconstruction to tell a new chapter in a fascinating story. The attraction features two levels and each level houses its own concept. This year, the upper level features Primal Scream with creatures of claw, tooth, and bone set free to feast on your fears. The lower level features Mr. Grendel’s Fun House of Horror, a 3D house that will add a whole new dimension to your experience. As usual, the show at Netherworld begins the moment you step out of your vehicle. Beings lurk in the lot and along the lines to shock and terrify you before your journey through the dark dimension begins. Netherworld also features a resplendent gift shop. Tickets are available online or upon arrival and they take credit and debit cards. Open the last two weekends in September, every night in October, and the first weekend in November. www.FearWorld.com Kersey Valley Spookywoods - Archdale, NC This massive haunt features indoor and outdoor attractions, a midway, and a gift shop. The Abomination, Urban Legend, Land of Folklore, Village of the Damned, and other features are sure to deliver the scares you seek. Recommended to buy tickets online. Bring cash if you do not. Parking is five dollars and wear sensible shoes. Check the website for dates of operation and special events. www.SpookyWoods.com Scarrigan Farms - Mooresville, NC Weekends in October will see the transformation of this 170 acre farm into one of the scariest haunted trails in the region. Varying features along the trail will transport you to new dimensions of terror. Get your boots on and prepare for the thrills of this attraction. Cash only and worth the drive. www.ScarriganFarms.com mycitymagazine.net | 7 Josh Henderson: Relax Apparel headshot & words: Ellen Gurley photography courtesy of Henderson himself, Mariah Scott, Lavonte Hines & Hnin Photo With so many talented people in the Charlotte area, we never run out of people to feature in My City Magazine. While that is a good problem to have, sometimes we do have to poke around to find the more elusive artists. Josh Henderson is one of those folks. An A&T graduate of fine arts, he expanded his interests while in school. Beginning as an illustrator, he quickly found himself excelling in graphic design. Henderson’s bulk of his portfolio is in album cover work, but recently he has launched his apparel line called Relax. When asking him why I’d never seen his brand before, he was pleased. Not wanting to blanket the city with his logo, he likes that it is a rarely seen entity. After speaking briefly with Henderson, I came to found out that he is developing some very interesting characters in a yet to be named comic book project that is a nod to anime and Groening. Urging him to put these characters on his hoodies, he laughs. Personally I would love to hear more of their adventures. “Sometimes we forget how far we have come. Maybe it's because we spend more time condemning ourselves than edifying. What if told you that you'd look back … and remember all the nights you toiled... praying for answers and the frustration of being overlooked… (asking yourself) will anyone give you a chance? You know you’re cut out for this thing. You know that you’re just as good as the rest of them. Then years later, that moment of peace hovers over that chaotic storm you call your mind. You just move with more intention and less anxiety. A grateful heart trumps that of a spiteful one. You learn to be beyond your mistakes and rest. You live your life with no regrets and be.” That’s what relax is to Josh Henderson. Henderson’s drive and young energy assure that the apparel line and his drawings are just the beginning of what we can expect from this gentlemen. Coupled up with another go-getter, Mariah Scott of Peculiar Hippie / Peculiar Talks, we are shure to see lots of good things from this power duo.

  • Masculinity in Emo Music a Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Arts and Social Science in Candi
    CARLETON UNIVERSITY FLUID BODIES: MASCULINITY IN EMO MUSIC A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCE IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC BY RYAN MACK OTTAWA, ONTARIO MAY 2014 ABSTRACT Emo is a genre of music that typically involves male performers, which evolved out of the punk and hardcore movements in Washington DC during the mid-80s. Scholarly literature on emo has explored its cultural and social contexts in relation to the “crisis” of masculinity—the challenging of the legitimacy of patriarchy through “alternative” forms of masculinity. This thesis builds upon this pioneering work but departs from its perpetuation of strict masculine binaries by conflating hegemonic and subordinate/alternative masculinities into a single subject position, which I call synergistic masculinity. In doing so, I use emo to explicate this vis-à-vis an intertextual analysis that explores the dominant themes in 1) lyrics; 2) the sites of vocal production (head, throat, chest) in conjunction with pitch and timbre; 3) the extensional and intensional intervallic relationships between notes and chords, and the use of dynamics in the musical syntax; 4) the use of public and private spaces, as well as the performative masculine body in music video. I posit that masculine emo performers dissolve these hierarchically organized masculinities, which allows for a deeper musical meaning and the extramusical signification of masculinity. Keywords: emo, synergistic masculinity, performativity, music video, masculinities, lyrics, vocal production, musical syntax, dynamics. ABSTRAIT Emo est un genre musical qui implique typiquement des musiciens de sexe masculine et qui est issu de movement punk et hardcore originaire de Washington DC durant les années 80.

  • 1 This Isn't Paradise, This Is Hell: Discourse, Performance and Identity in the Hawai'i Metal Scene a Dissertation Submitte
    1 THIS ISN’T PARADISE, THIS IS HELL: DISCOURSE, PERFORMANCE AND IDENTITY IN THE HAWAI‘I METAL SCENE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN AMERICAN STUDIES DECEMBER 2012 By Benjamin Hedge Olson Dissertation Committee: Kathleen Sands, Chairperson David E. Stannard Vernadette Gonzalez Roderick Labrador Helen J. Baroni Keywords: metal, popular music, popular culture, religion, subculture, Hawai‘i 2 Abstract The island of Oahu is home to probably the most ethnically diverse metal scene in the United States. Contemporary Hawai`i prides itself on being a “model of multiculturalism” free of the racism and ethnic strife that is endemic to the continent; however, beneath this superficial openness and tolerance exist deeply felt class, ethnic, and racial tensions. The metal scene in Hawai`i experiences these conflicting impulses towards inclusion and exclusion as profoundly as any other aspect of contemporary Hawaiian culture, but there is a persistent hope within the metal scene that subcultural identity can triumph over such tensions. Complicating this process is the presence of white military personnel, primarily born and raised on the continental United States, whose cultural attitudes, performances of masculinity, and conception of metal culture differ greatly from that of local metalheads. The misunderstandings, hostilities, bids for subcultural capital, and attempted bridge-building that take place between metalheads in Hawai‘i constitute a subculturally specific attempt to address anxieties concerning the presence of the military, the history of race and racism in Hawai`i, and the complicated, often conflicting desires for both openness and exclusivity that exist within local culture.

  • Jude the Obscure Official Biography
    Jude the Obscure Official Biography Jude the Obscure, circa 2003 Jude the Obscure had a very comfortable place in the Ontario math-core/noisecore scene throughout its existence. I believe they were the first to be called “chaoticore”. Prior to the forming of this band, Grant Freifeld (“Fuzz” on bass), Jason Rice (“Jaundice” on drums) and Chuck Leach (“the Bank”/”Bankenstein” on guitar) played together in a slew of Grimsby, Ontario high school bands, often changing name every few months. When in 1998 they decided to go “heavier”, they asked a guy in their high school who was wearing a Snapcase shirt if he wanted to to be their signer; that was James Long (“Jimbo”). With Jimbo in, Jude the Obscure was born. The final addition was one of Jason’s coworker, Jordan Passfield who was brought in as an experimental guitar player. “A New Life of Painful Sin” demo, 1999 “A New Life of Painful Sin” demo, 1999 Their first show was a house show with Rise Over Run. In 1999 they recorded 3 songs at Scott Bialik’s small basement studio, soundDOME Studio, in Hamilton, live right off the floor. Jude self-released it as their first demo “A New Life of Painful Sin”. Everyone who ever talks about this demo doesn’t speak of it nicely. Nevertheless it is a good representation of what early 2000 metalcore was like. Poster advertising “A Perfect Place” on Punx Without Mohawx Records Their high school friends, Rise Over Run, had gotten signed to the Quebec label Punx Without Mohawx Records, so Jude sent them their demo as well.

    Tremont Bricks and Picks words: Ellen Gurley photos of Tremont and bricks: Justin Driscoll photos of guitar picks: courtesy of Brian Carpenter Not all heroes have capes. Sometimes they just show up with trucks. Justin Driscoll and Brian Carpenter are two of those heroes. If there’s one thing that I have learned, having lived in Charlotte all of my forty years, it is that we cannot become attached to property. This is not an invitation to an open ended conversation about growth or gentrification, it is a call for the preservation of memories. Stay with me. Justin Driscoll became a man within the walls of Tremont Music Hall. Upon learning of their demolition, he hauled as many bricks as he could over to Neal Harper. Driscoll dragged the Tremont yellow bricks over to Harper who engraved them with the logo. In an attempt to hold onto something very precious to themselves, they put their sadness and anger in the trash and presented those instrumental with their own brick. Now every time Driscoll walks by his personal chunk of history, he can hear Converge, Glass Jaw, Snapcase, the Deftones, Green Day, Earth Crisis, the Gaslight Anthem, BoySetsFire, Fugazi, Social Distortion, Rancid, the Business, Shai Hulud, Poison The Well, Agnostic Front, ALL, H20, Avail, Hot Water Music, Helmet, Hatebreed, AFI, Offspring, Prayer for Cleansing, Bane, Comeback Kid, Defeater, BTBAM, Cro-Mags, Every Time I Die, Dillinger Escape Plan, Finch, Hopesfall, Candiria, Beloved, Zao, Evergreen Terrace, the Henry Rollins Band, A Life Once Lost, Bleeding Through, Hank the Third, Bayside, the Misfits, Gregg Allman, Neurosis, Soulfly, Tom Morello, letlive, Murs, Simon Says, 36 Crazyfists, Cave In, Cursive, ANTiSEEN, Five Times Down, Clout, Setback, Black Acid Disco, 14 Feet Wide, Swift, He Is Legend, the Beatdowns, Glass Casket, Wretched, Atreyu, From Autumn to Ashes, Reflux, Animals as Leaders, the Casualties, ASG, Devil Driver, Superjoint Ritual, and, as he says, “every local band ever”.

That’s fucking insane. Sure, to jump that 61 ft gap is huge, but imagine spinning WITH US 360’s over it.
