Nikki cooed. Colton was an absolute sweetheart and Christina seemed to be too. Not every mom would let her kid do something like that -it was an ego thing for most. In the worst way. But as the woman finished her sentence, Nikki felt absolute horror. "That is..a nightmare." she said. "Oh my God..poor kid. Poor Colt..wait, poor you actually!" Nikki said thinking about. Poor woman must have heard an earful as if it was her fault. Health dangers aside, those things were a logistic horror nobody wanted to be blamed for... || @christinaxwagner

Christina glances in the direction of where Colton is eating a pizza at the table with a few of his friends from school. She nods her head at Nikki's words as she chuckles lowly. "Colton used to pack extra snacks for his friends because he wanted to make sure everyone had something to eat and one of those friends had a diary allergy he didn't seem to know about. It was so bad. So, I can't imagine how hard it is at the daycare."

The weekend had been chaotic with the fires happening around the city, but Camille was happy that things had calmed down... despite the bad news that came with them. It wouldn't stop her from visiting her favorite place and seeing one of her favorite bartenders who she swore would overpour her drinks, though maybe that was due to how many drinks she'd order some nights. She took a seat at the bar, happy that Golden Hour wasn't packed. "Christina!" She called out, not too loud, but loud enough. "Tell me you had these last few days off."

"I can't believe I'm doing this..." Lorna stepped over some 'fallen debris' that had obviously been placed purely for an effect of a derelict building. Popping her head around a corner cautiously, she tried to see if there were any monsters or creatures she would be wary of as she trailed through the haunted house.

"Do you think this place has clowns? You know, those creepy ones?"

Come Nightfall tracklist & album notes

[every song & artist referenced in Come Nightfall]

Chapter 1 - Offer

A Change is Gonna Come – Sam Cooke

"While Sam Cooke's track burst into life, my brush tap-tap-tapped on canvas."

Chapter 3 - Date

2. Devil’s Gonna Git You – Bessie Smith A piano in a Bessie Smith song plinked with fervor.

3. Welcome to the Jungle – Guns N’ Roses "If you think I’m going to subject myself to Axl Rose, you’re out of your mind.”

4. Booze and Bules – Ma Rainey 5. State Street Rag – Louie Bluie 6. West Coast Blues – Blind Blake He tripped over himself explaining the origins of Detroit blues (Ma Rainey! Louie Bluie! Blind Blake!) and the birth of twelve-bar blues, whatever the hell that meant.

7. Lohengrin: Prelude – Richard Wagner “So what's on the menu for tonight?” gesturing with my head to the tiny stereo. “Wagner, to celebrate my being done reading that freak Nietzsche?”

8. Clair de Lune – Debussy 9. In the Garden – Emile Pandolfi 10. Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op 18: Adagio sostenuto – Sergei Rachmaninoff “You know what it reminds me of?” I said, patting his knee. “Debussy. With a little Emile Pandolfi zhuzh to it. Or like if Rachmaninov woke up one day and decided to write something a little more understated.”

11. Blue Velvet – Bobby Vinton "You know I like your recs.” “Except Bobby Vinton.” “Fifties trash," I said with a dismissive shrug.

12. Bella’s Lullaby (From “Twilight”) – Carter Burwell “It’s a lullaby. Your lullaby. I wrote it for you.”

Chapter 5 - Party

13. It Had to Be You – Bing Crosby “The last real birthday party any of us had was for Emmett in 1945,” Edward said. “I believe Bing Crosby was on the top of the charts.”

14. I Want It That Way – Backstreet Boys “So,” I said, “Backstreet Boys, huh? Nice.”

15. End of the Road – Boyz II Men Alice knew my secret. As an avid Boyz II Men fan, we’d jam out to 90s boy bands in the car on the way to the mall. It was the only way Alice could get me to the mall.

16. What a Girl Wants – Christina Aguilera Christina Aguilera’s “What a Girl Wants” began to play in the background. Alice danced near a cluster of flickering candles while she snapped a picture of herself.

OCTOBER

17. Thriller – Michael Jackson Red solo cup in hand, I sat beside the radiator. Observing the sky of drunken college kids dancing, chatting, flirting above me. Listening to Michael Jackson's “Thriller” for what seemed like half an hour.

18. Teenagers – My Chemical Romance Angela had confessed her love for My Chemical Romance on the car ride over, but she was never a classic rock fan.

NOVEMBER

19. You Go to My Head – Frank Sinatra Frank Sinatra’s voice chased me down the hall. The cold tickle of Edward’s lips sing-whispering “You Go to My Head” had done it. So soft, so sweet, so irritating, so real, too real, stop, Edward, leave me alone—

DECEMBER

20. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas – Frank Sinatra 21. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas – Bing Crosby 22. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas – Tony Bennett

Chapter 12 - Hunting

23. Hammer Smashed Face – Cannibal Corpse “‘Hammer Smashed Face’.” “What?” “Cannibal Corpse?” “What?” “I’m, uh. I’m sorta into metal now.”

24. Everybody (Backstreet’s Back) – Backstreet Boys 25. Say My Name – Destiny’s Child 26. Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana Not only did the glovebox contain emotional support picks from childhood that didn’t remind me of my ex—Backstreet Boys’ Millennium, Destiny Child’s The Writing’s On The Wall, and Nirvana’s Nevermind, among others—but also a cannister of prerolls and ‘shrooms I’d inherited after the death of Ang’s stoner phase.

27. Still – Geto Boys I flipped the radio on and fiddled with the dial until I found something lively, loud, and safe from memories of him: Geto Boys rapping about picking out our victims when the time is right—

28. Still D.R.E. – Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg The truck became quiet enough to hear the soft plinking keys of “Still D.R.E.” over the radio.

Chapter 13 - Friends

29. Hey Ya! – Outkast While Jacob babbled, he bobbed his head out of rhythm to Outkast’s “Hey Ya” whispering over the radio.

30. Bennie and the Jets – Elton John The list became longer as quickly as daylight retreated from the garage. No way could we accomplish everything in one summer. [...] Backpacking through China, seeing Elton John live, breaking Kenenisa Bekele’s world record, falling madly in love.

Chapter 14 - Adrenaline

31. By the Time I Get to Phoenix – Dorothy Ashby Dorothy Ashby’s harp plinked in the background.

SATURDAY

32. Hips Don’t Lie – Shakira A poster of a bikini-clad Shakira crinkled under my weight.

Chapter 22 - Family, Part 2

33. Who Am I (What’s My Name) – Snoop Dogg Snoop Dogg rapped softly between choruses of girls singing his name. Jake groaned. “Old rap? You’re on this again?”

34. Complicated – Avril Lavigne Avril Lavigne’s “Complicated” played quietly. I resisted the urge to turn the dial.

35. Doctor Jazz – Jelly Roll Morton Truth was, I fell in love with Edward. Period. Not just the trivialities, like the song he loved to drive to (Jelly Roll Morton’s “Doctor Jazz”), the books he loved to read aloud to me in the meadow (Marcel Proust’s Swann’s Way), or the movies we watched on rainy days (Shakespeare adaptations, mostly).

Chapter 24 - Deviations

36. Voice of the Soul - Death “Death is okay,” Edward answered without enthusiasm. “Get real. Death is awesome.” “As if you would know?” “As if you would know,” I retorted. I pulled it out from the Pre-Owned bin. “Look at this. Tell me this album cover doesn’t scream ‘expertly curated collection of badass metal ballads’.”

37. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds – The Beatles Posters covered the store, from The Beatles’ Sergeant Pepper’s to handmade CDs ~ Buy 2 Get 1 Free! signs.

38. Beyond the Cemetery – Cannibal Corpse “When I finally get around to exploring the genre beyond Metallica—” I waved the CD case “—these guys right here. Or, ooh, maybe this. Cannibal Corpse. Tomb of the Mutilated. Wow. Yikes.”

39. Meditation, Op. 42, No. 1 – Tchaikovsky, Leonid Kogan “Okay. Are we done casing the joint or what? Do they have it?” “At the front—under lock and key. Now the issue becomes a matter of price.” “Soviet violinist dude has a price?” “A steep one,” said Edward, “and warranted, being among one of the greatest violinist 'dudes' of the twentieth century.”

40. They Can’t Take That Away From Me – Frank Sinatra “We may never never meet again, on that bumpy rooooaaaaad to love.” “How can you be so casual about it?” “Still, I'll always, always keep the memory of…” He spun me around; my sopping shoes squished. “The way you hold your knife, doo-doo-doo doo doo-doo…”

Chapter 25 - Fate

41. Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door – Guns N’ Roses “I’m not concussed.” To prove it, I rattled off the date, the sitting president, and the names of all the guys in Guns N’ Roses.

Chapter 27 - Volterra

42. Orfeo ed Euridice, Wq 30: Dance of the Furies Over the machine’s growl, I could feel the pulse of the frantic string instruments of Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo in my seat—Alice’s unsuccessful attempt at getting me to calm the fuck down.

Chapter 28 - Verdict

43. Maramao perche sei morto* – Trio Lescano (*NOTE: not referenced by name) Music burst from behind the thick antechamber doors, some upbeat Italian swing music on vinyl that sounded straight out of the 1940s.

44. As Time Goes By – Billie Holiday Buoyant plinking piano notes of Billie Holiday’s “As Time Goes By” spilled down the long hallway, filling the somber, imposing space with life.

45. You’re as Pretty as a Picture – Al Bowlly A female server flashed me a dazzling smile, offering her tray of fancy desserts. Some upbeat Al Bowlly song pulsed in the background. Like a statue reanimated after a broken spell, Edward bared his fangs at the enemy.

46. What a Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong We rose above the murder and death, but “What a Wonderful World” still followed us over the tinny speakers.

21:32

47. The Devil Went Down to Georgia – The Charlie Daniels Band* (*NOTE: not referenced by name) "I happen to know the devil holds fiddle battles in exchange for souls."

Chapter 31 - Postmortem

48. Bein’ Green – Van Morrison Leah stared at the portable speaker playing Van Morrison’s “Bein’ Green”, one of Harry’s favorite songs.

49. Bring It On Home – Lou Rawls Lou Rawls played in the background. I choked on a chuckle remembering the way Harry used to dance in that lame dad way of his—the pumping of his arms, the slow shoulder shimmy, the hip bump he’d do to Sue to make her giggle…

Monsters seem to be everywhere these days, in popular shows on television, in award-winning novels, and again and again in Hollywood blockbusters. They are figures that lurk in the margins and so, by contrast, help to illuminate the center—the embodiment of abnormality that summons the definition of normalcy by virtue of everything they are not. Samantha Langsdale and Elizabeth Rae Coody’s edited volume explores the coding of woman as monstrous and how the monster as dangerously evocative of women/femininity/the female is exacerbated by the intersection of gender with sexuality, race, nationality, and disability. To analyze monstrous women is not only to examine comics, but also to witness how those constructions correspond to women’s real material experiences. Each section takes a critical look at the cultural context surrounding varied monstrous voices: embodiment, maternity, childhood, power, and performance. Featured are essays on such comics as Faith, Monstress, Bitch Planet, and Batgirl and such characters as Harley Quinn and Wonder Woman. This volume probes into the patriarchal contexts wherein men are assumed to be representative of the normative, universal subject, such that women frequently become monsters.

Peyton liked the competitive nature. It was refreshing to say the least. "Let's hope you don't eat them first." He teased although his skills were most likely rough. He'd get the swing of it once he had a bowling ball in hand. He double checked his pockets to make sure he had his wallet and phone, pulling his phone out as he walked towards the front door. He quickly sent Rowan a text that he'd be out before opening the front door, "You first." He motioned. @christinaxwagner

"You do realize I love a challenge, right? I'm going to make you eat your words." Christina teases, nodding her head as she reaches over to pluck her purse off the chair she put it in when she got here. "Yeah, it's easy in the evening and the night is young. I say we go show these tourist how us natives roll."

Congrats To The Grammys For Finally Getting Their Rock & Metal Category Figured Out

Following a pretty up-and-down rollercoaster ride the past few years, the Recording Academy has seemingly gotten their stuff together when it comes to their rock and metal categories.

After dealing with an embarrassing year last year where Avenged Sevenfold publically called out the prestigious institution for their lack of support to the metal community, apparently, someone at the Academy was paying attention as this year’s nominees might be one of their best in quite some time. 

For Best Metal Performance, the Grammys see a lot of new faces including Between The Buried And Me, Deafheaven, High On Fire and Trivium as well as scene staples Underoath (Underoath were previously nominated back in 2006 for Best Short Form Music Video).

As for Best Rock Performance, previous nominees like Arctic Monkeys, Cris Cornell (rest in peace) and Halestorm are accompanied by the likes of Greta Van Fleet and, surprisingly and well-deserved, FEVER 333.

Another fantastic nomination comes in the Best Rock Song category. Sandwiched between well-known household names like Ghost, Twenty One Pilots, and St. Vincent is Bring Me The Horizon and, for the second time, Greta Van Fleet. 

All in all, as much as we bash on award shows for their lack of support towards our hard rock and metal community, this year the Grammys got it right. Were there other artists that deserved a nomination? Of course there were. But considering how things have been in the past (Leonard Cohen Best Rock Performance 2018, Beyonce Best Rock Performance nominee 2017, Tenacious D Best Metal Performance 2015, etc.), we’ll take it.

Christina Nilsson (1843−1921) Christina (or Kristina − she also commonly wrote Christine) Nilsson was born on 20 August 1843 on a farm in Vederslöv’s parish in the region of Småland, and died on 22 November 1921 in Växjo. She worked as an opera and concert singer from 1864 until 1888. Nilsson was considered one of the foremost Swedish-born international opera singers during the 19th century − a soprano with an impressive high range. She also wrote a few musical works. Christina Nilsson was elected into the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in 1869. On 27 October 1864, Nilsson debuted as Violetta in Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris. It was her second debut on 23 February 1865, as the Queen of the Night in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s The Magic Flute.  In 1867 Christina Nilsson had a new breakthrough when she debuted at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London in the role of Margareta in Charles Gounod’s Faust. Between 1867 and 1870 Nilsson sang at both the Paris Opera and Her Majesty’s Theatre. On 9 March 1868 she debuted as Ophelia in Ambrose Thomas’ newly written opera Hamlet. The roll was designed specifically for Nilsson and as a nod to her Scandinavian origins, a part of the folk tune ‘Näckens polska’ was written into one of Ophelia’s larger arias. The opera broke box office records. n 1869 Nilsson became a member of the Kungliga Musikaliska akademien (the Royal Swedish Academy of Music). In 1870 she did her first concert tour in the USA, and then in 1872, a second tour. From 1872 until 1884 she did successive tours in Europe, the USA and Canada. She was named Imperial Chamber Singer in both Austria and Russia. New successes included, above all, Leonora in Verdi’s Il Trovatore, Valentine in Meyerbeer’s Les Huguenots as well as Elsa in Richard Wagner’s Lohengrin. On 22 October 1883, she sang Margareta at the Metropolitan Opera’s opening ceremony. Christina Nilsson’s vocal register stretched from low B natural to F above high C. She had an impressive high range and somewhat weaker low and middle ranges. The singer described how she early-on cultivated her high notes because as a child, the people she sang for found it impressive. Nilsson’s timbre is described as special. Phrases such as ‘crystal-clear’, ‘like a bell’ and ‘flute-like’ are often-repeated descriptions.
