Explanation: The miracles of Jesus demonstrate Jesus’s absolute authority and power over thedevil, sickness, death, and nature, thereby confirming to all that he is indeed the Messiah and the Son of God. Also, the signs and wonders of Jesus testify to his limitless compassion for people and his longing to see people set free from all bondage. Thanks for joining us for this new series. We are speaking of “The Almost: Living in the Tension.” We live in the tension between the “now” and the “not yet” when we decide to follow Jesus. We are constantly reminded that there is more to this world than we know, and we have to find a way to live with our heads in the clouds, yet with our feet planted firmly on the ground of this world. It is as if we have a dual citizenship in heaven and on earth. Until Jesus comes, this will be our plight. We will learn to live with the breakthroughs, with the miracles, and with the hints of the way the world should and can and, ultimately, will be! We take a look at some miracles of Jesus and we even head to the Old Testament at the end of the series to recognize that God has always been breaking through to show us the Almost. May the journey be beneficial, may you grow, and may we all see a greater breakthrough of the Almost in our lives!

The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” 39 When Jesus woke up, he re- buked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. 40 Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid?

  • 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.

The subsequent spread of the original musical tropes and development of multiple trajectories of musical and stylistic innovation have resulted in a complex and multifaceted constellation of ideas, practices and objects that now constitute the hardcore music scene. Despite its growth, scholarly discourse in the field continues to operate almost exclusively in response to what has come to be called the ‘subcultures’ framework (Clarke et al 1976). The focus has been placed on the question of whether such forms can be conceptualised in terms of coherent and subversive ideologies, effectively setting the parameters of the debate in ways that have marginalised considerations of the musical experiences of participation, and which have limited sociological attempts to comprehend the significance of hardcore music as a social force.

  • A Longitudinal Content Analysis of Feminist Themes in Punk Rock
    ACT LIKE A PUNK, SING LIKE A FEMINIST: A LONGITUDINAL CONTENT ANALYSIS OF FEMINIST THEMES IN PUNK ROCK SONG LYRICS, 1970-2009 Lauren E. Levine Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2015 APPROVED: Koji Fuse, Major Professor Tracy Everbach, Committee Member Gwen Nisbett, Committee Member Cory Armstrong, Chair of the Frank W. and Sue Mayborn School of Journalism Dorothy Bland, Dean of the Frank W. and Sue Mayborn School of Journalism Costas Tsatsoulis, Interim Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Levine, Lauren. E. Act Like a Punk, Sing Like a Feminist: A Longitudinal Content Analysis of Feminist Themes in Punk Rock Song Lyrics, 1970-2009. Master of Arts (Journalism), May 2015, 104 pp., 6 tables, references, 123 titles. Punk rock music has long been labeled sexist as copious media-generated accounts and reports of the genre concentrate on male artists, hyper-masculine performances, and lyrics considered to be aggressive, sexist, and misogynist. However, scholars have rarely examined punk rock music longitudinally, focusing heavily on 1980s and 1990s manifestations of the genre. Furthermore, few systematic content analyses of feminist themes in punk rock song lyrics have been conducted. The present research is a longitudinal content analysis of lyrics of 600 punk rock songs released for four decades between 1970 and 2009 to examine the prevalence of and longitudinal shifts in antiestablishment themes, the prevalence of and longitudinal shifts in sexist themes relative to feminist themes, the prevalence of and longitudinal shifts in specific feminist branches, and what factors are related to feminism. Using top-rated albums retrieved from Sputnik Music’s “Best Punk Albums” charts, systematic random sampling was applied to select 50 songs for each combination of three gender types and four decades.

  • The Almost Bio 2013
    THE ALMOST Biography ‘FEAR INSIDE OUR BONES’ Out April 9, 2013 on Tooth & Nail/EMI/Universal THE ALMOST, pictured above. Click here for high res photo:http://msopr.com/files/almstpy-3a_sm.JPG. It's all too easy to make an album in this day and age. You rent out a studio, record one part, and then cut and paste it across the whole record. That happens partly because of fear. Putting your soul on tape is a scary thing. THE ALMOSTovercame that fear and did something completely different for not only themselves but modern rock as a whole. They holed up in a small room in Nashville's Omni Studios for only five days and played every note of their third full-length album, FEAR INSIDE OUR BONES (Tooth & Nail/EMI/Universal), together in unison. Now, there's an overwhelming thunder on the horizon. It's the sound of a band realizing its potential. It's the sound of life. It's the sound of THE ALMOST. The group made the decision to record the album in the same room completely live, and the album was born in their collective blood, sweat, and tears.“Itwasn't a piecemeal process as the majority of modern records are,” explains lead vocalist, lyricist and guitarist AARON GILLESPIE.With a little help from producer Marshall Altman (Tom Morello, Ingrid Michaelson, William Fitzsimmons), the music was made live over the course of merely five days. “It’s something none of us have ever done and with the time crunch, we were surprised how tight of a live band we’ve finally become.Thematically, we bounced the entire record off using anxiety as our backboard." THE ALMOSThave come a long way since the release of their 2007 debut, Southern Weather(Tooth & Nail/Virgin) which hit the Billboard Top 200 chart at #39 with 29,000 copies sold in its first week and spawned their first single “Say This Sooner” which hit Top Ten at Alternative Radio.

  • UPCOMING CHRISTIAN CONCERTS in the PNW * Permalink
    HOME CAMPUS LIFE OUTSIDE THE BUBBLE ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT OPINION AUDIOVISUAL LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A B O U T U S COMMENTARY CONTEST THE SCREECH PODCAST by northwest7 on November 21,2016 UPCOMING CHRISTIAN CONCERTS IN THE PNW * Permalink Posted: Thursday, October 13, 2016 6:25 pm By Landon Fleury Photo by Garrett Parker Like many in the Christian youth, I grew up listening almost exclusively to Christian music. With a desire to widen my musical ear, I began listening to more and more secular music, especially in the realms of hip-hop, alternative rock and EDM. For a numbers of years, Christian & Gospel music were not a part of my life. I had a “fallout" with the genre, you could say. Thankfully, this departure was not completely permanent. Several years ago. a Hillsong UNITED album named Zion was released, and it rocked my world. Since then, worship music has been an essential part of my music taste. The reason for this article is for you -the reader- to find your niche in Christian music, that is, if you've had a fallout like mine. On the other hand, perhaps you've already found your niche. In that case, I hope this post sheds some light on names you might not have listened to before. No matter what, don't take these shows for granted. There are life-changing experiences just waiting to happen. The Fray @ Moore Theater (Seattle) - Oct. 15 When it comes to Christian bands reaching a pop audience, The Fray takes the cake as one of the most successfully widespread.

  • U2's Creative Process
    U2’S CREATIVE PROCESS: SKETCHING IN SOUND K. Paul Harris A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by : Advisor: John Covach Reader: Allen Anderson Reader: David Garcia Reader: Jocelyn Neal Reader: Severine Neff © 2006 K. Paul Harris ALL RIGHTS RES ERVED ii ABSTRACT K. PAUL HARRIS: U2’s Creative Process: Sketching in Sound (Under the direction of John Covach) The music of Irish rock band, U2, evinces a compositional process developed by musicians of exceptional inexperience who underwent an equally exceptional insular development, to become one of the most critically acclaimed rock bands of all time. This dissertation uses a variety of resources —principally demos of mature songs from U2’s seventh studio album, Achtung Baby (1991), recordings of earl y performances surrounding the recording of their debut album, Boy (1980), and video documentary sources chronicling the recording of songs from The Unforgettable Fire (1984) and The Joshua Tree (1987) —as a comparative basis for an assessment of U2’s signa ture musical style, their aesthetic of song, and their use of the recording studio in the realization and development of that aesthetic. U2 arose from the post -punk milieu of the late 1970s, that took its lead from the slightly older punks, (the Sex Pisto ls and t he Clash ), to forge a style distinct from mainstream pop. The members of U2 had widely divergent musical tastes and abilities (some bordering on no ability at all) which compelled them to begin writing their own music from the outset, typically th rough interminable rehearsal —a form of live sketching.
