...successful,” Rhodes recalls of the event. Hufstedler and Rhodes have revived the competition, which had formerly been limited to Harvard bands, and expanded it to include rock groups from other colleges. Drawing both word of mouth and the ever-trusty Google, the pair tapped bands from Northeastern, Boston College, Brandeis, and Berkelee to compete in the battle.Because of their intimate relationship with Harvard’s musical community (Hufstedler is the drummer in Plan B for the Type A’s, and Rhodes is Linus’ guitarist), recruiting bands from their own campus required...

...speaks from experience. Mohammed's family fled its home in Baladiat, in northeastern Baghdad, in the aftermath of the Samarra blast. Once a mainly Sunni enclave adjoining the Shi'ite district of Sadr City, Baladiat gradually turned into a mixed neighborhood after the fall of Saddam Hussein.
