...usually takes more than a touch of magic to cure an illness, but a Harvard Medical School (HMS) study has found that wand-waving may actually help stroke patients recover. The study of 10 stroke patients, conducted by HMS neurologist Dr. Felipe Fregni and co-authors at the medical school, found that placing magnetic wands over the heads of stroke patients can help them to regain lost motor skills. The non-invasive therapy, called transcranial magnetic simulation (TMS), uses a figure eight-shaped coil to deliver weak, pulsating electrical currents to specific areas of the brain. When the therapy...
...music video. The video in itself, is very well done and put together, not getting wrapped up in special effects and in your face symbolism and obvious surface level meanings that so many music videos these days are. It has concept, depth and does not fail to touch those who watch it. Even those who see the video daily, still are touched by the song and its meaning. The band is not a typical “let’s shoot a video that is us playing at a high school,” nor are their lyrics?...
...even with the familiar emphasis on blanketing reverb, soaring vocal lines, minor key melodies, and heavy breakdowns, “Z” reformats the band’s modus operandi. Legendary producer John Leckie (Radiohead, Stone Roses) seems to have contributed heavily to this evolution. His touch is most evident in the futuristic feel of several tracks, such as “Off The Record”’s spacey fadeout. Increasingly psychedelic lyrics like “A kitten on fire/a baby in a blender” confirm a noticeable change in the group?...
...integration of “The Corny Collins Show” and Tracy’s victorious popularity-contest win over arrogant arch-nemesis Amber Von Tussle. While the musical stays afloat with comedic one-liners and sky-scraping coiffures, it’s weighed down by attempting to touch on the more serious subject of southern segregation. While Tracy’s interactions with black classmate Seaweed J. Stubs are filled with elaborate dance sequences and songs with catchy choruses (like “The Blacker the Berry, the Sweeter the Juice”), the musical plays lightly with...
...unshakable foundation for the band and to keep things exciting with his enthusiastic series of drum punctuations. Benitez hung back from the spotlight, taking only one full solo over the course of the night, but he showcased an endless repertoire of funky basslines. He and Hass were in constant touch for the whole show and proved themselves one of the better rhythm sections to visit Cambridge recently.Unfortunately, Versace’s off-putting stage presence distracted from his competent chops: he mouthed—with great enthusiasm—every note that he played on the keyboard. Statham, though...
