The band’s sound has evolved from its early emo days, Busch says. “We try and work more with melody and harmony, and how full we can make the sound come across between the six of us. It’s not like a triangle or a pyramid or something, where it comes to a point at the top, and it’s me and I’ve got this band…It’s more like the six of us making a square and seeing what we can collectively sound like.”

Gay marriage is a civil rights issue

The most common argument to support the legal defining of marriage as a union between a male and female is that of tradition. As marriage has always been characterized this way, so should it always be, claim its supporters. This argument assumes that a male and a female create the most stable union that society […]

The winner takes all

What a bizarre season this has been. Virtually no frontrunners have emerg-ed, like, at all. (By contrast, Randal was clearly earmarked as the victor from the beginning last season.)
