Jovol "Bam Bam" Bell: 5 Definitions of Reality (Which Is the Name of My Band) Could Be The Top Five 5 Reasons You Should Come and Experience Reality at Kendall Square Tomorrow Afternoon
By Shaula Clark

The origin of the word "reality" is late 15th-cent.: via French from medieval Latin realitas, from late Latin realis, "relating to things."

1.) The world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them and/or a thing that exists in fact, having previously only existed in one's mind.

David Wildman's Top 5 Local Writers Who Can Rock Guitars As Well As Awesome Prose
By Shaula Clark

^{The Unfamiliars}

1. Tom Perrotta
You know him for Election and Little Children, but he also likes to strap on a Strat and squeeze out a rocking riff or two. I know. I’ve witnessed it. Check out his canny descriptions of how it feels to crank up metal mutilation in his book The Wishbones. Or wait for the movie.

Playlist: Destruct-a-thon's Duncan Wilder Johnson: "Top 5 tracks to get me in the mood for the sonic genocide that will be my band's Rumble set"
By Shaula Clark

1. Motherboar, "Grillin' and Killin' "
Yeah, I fucking came to party!

2. Slayer, "Angel of Death"
Specifically the line, "The way that I want you to DIE!"

3. Sam Black Church, "New God Science"
I dare you to show me a better-crafted metal/hardcore tune. It's all there: the sick intro, the super-stompy verse riff, the sing-along-and-simultaneously-point-your-finger chorus, the ripping good metal breakdown in the bridge.
