Designed and built in-house by our staff of engineers, this robotic “Drum Machine,” called the Gluing Gantry, ensures that every Evans head has a true collar. A series of vacuum fixtures holds the film in place for each head while the robotic gluing arm circles above the hoop and dispenses epoxy. The result is a drumhead that tunes both easily and consistently. At Evans, we do it right the first time. And every time. Check out what Peter Erskine has to say about Evans drumheads at www.evansdrumheads.com PO Box 290 • Farmingdale, NY 11735 We’ve been making the world’s finest sticks for years. And experience tells us that there are no shortcuts when it comes to making a stick. There is, however a very good short- cut when choosing one. The journey from wooden dowel to finished drumstick is a tough one. Each stick makes its way through the hands of several craftsmen before it leaves us. And at every test, there’s always the chance of getting turned into firewood. But it does get easier when our sticks reach the store. Because once you feel a pair in your hands, you’ll appreciate the time it spent in ours.

  • Lush - Miki Berenyi and Emma Anderson on 1996 Album “Lovelife” and the Last Days of the Band
    Lush - Miki Berenyi and Emma Anderson on 1996 Album “Lovelife” and the Last Days of the Band undertheradarmag.com /interviews/lush_- _miki_berenyi_and_emma_anderson_on_1996_album_lovelife_and_the_last_d/ "Lush was so tied up with Chris, and without him, it's just really, really difficult to consider [a reunion]." - Miki Berenyi Apr 28, 2015 By Frank Valish Issue #51 - September/October 2014 - alt-J The year was 1996. Lush had released its third full-length album, Lovelife. Although their shoegaze-crossed-with- pop songwriting never truly fit into Britain's chart-centric musical atmosphere, the band was finally getting its due, with Lovelife cracking the Top 10 on Britain's album charts and spawning three charting singles, "Single Girl," "Ladykiller," and "500 (Shake Baby Shake)." The band was in demand for concerts across the U.S. and Europe. On the surface, it seemed like things couldn't get any better. But within a year, it would all be over. 1/4 Lush formed in London in 1988, fronted by school friends Emma Anderson (guitars/vocals) and Miki Berenyi (vocals/guitars), along with Chris Acland (drums) and Steve Rippon (bass). After releasing a series of EPs that garnered Lush attention in the U.K., including 1990 cover stories for both Melody Maker and NME, Rippon left and was replaced by Philip King just prior to the release of the band's full-length debut. Spooky, released in 1992, was an album that showcased the dream-pop soundscapes and ethereal melodies of the band's two frontwomen and propelled Lush to recognition in America with a gig on 1992's Lollapalooza festival.

Scriptwriting: Theory and Practice The independent study course which I hope to participate in this semester would involve writing a twenty to thirty-page screenplay that would eventually be produced into a short film. This film would be made as an Honors Project using the funding for a self-designed project, which is provided as a facet of the Murray Scholar Program. The Independent Study would be advised by Professor Sharon Zuber, who is also my academic advisor for my Film Studies major. I hope to undertake this screenwriting independent study for a variety of reasons. First of all, there is not currently a screenwriting course being offered this semester. Given the nature of the film project I am hoping to produce, it is crucial that I begin the screenwriting process this semester, so that I can then have a complete idea of what my film is going to entail so that I can undertake pre-production planning efforts in the Spring semester, and be ready to start production during the Summer of 2010.
