This is the official BCS rankings for the 2013 NCAA College Football season.

Each week they will be updated to reflect the current standings.

This is Ryan Raddon’s, (world renown DJ/Producer better known as Kaskade), response to the LA Times scrutinization of the EDM scene. It painted a picture of “Ecstasy-fueled underground” raves, bumped up into the mainstream, leaving a trail of dead, drug-addled kids being picked up by the “…coroner’s wagon rolling down desert roads.”

“The Underground” describes a new husband’s imagined “pursuit” of his wife, the former Marie Devlin, now Marie Heaney, through the London Underground while on their honeymoon.

The speaker, we can assume Heaney, starts by describing a memory or dream. When he and his wife were on honeymoon they were late for a performance at the Proms. This is a series of classical music concerts held every summer at the Royal Albert Hall in Kensington, London.

Heaney blends into an ordinary story of being late for a concert wide-ranging references to Greek mythology and a German fairy tale. The Greek god Pan is a sexual predator, so this reference has clear erotic connotations, while the Hansel and Gretel story suggests loss and danger. Finally, the Orpheus and Eurydice myth is a vehicle to portray Heaney’s version of himself alone in a dark, trainless tunnel determined to find his wife and never lose her as Orpheus did by “looking back”. Of course, the imagery of oppressive tunnels is notably Freudian.

Structure
The poem comprises four four-lined stanzas or quatrains. The first two stanzas are in the past tense, but the third and fourth stanzas are in the present tense, creating a sense of pace and immediacy. The rhyme scheme is loosely ABAB in three of the stanzas and AABB in stanza two. Many of the rhymes are consonant, for example “Proms” and “stones” in stanza three.

Language and Imagery
The voice is that of the a first person speaker, the poet, addressing his wife in the second person “you”.

The language moves from conversational — for example “There we were in the vaulted tunnel running”, but interspersed by lyrical references to myth and fairy story. The tone is a mix of light-hearted with an underlying hint of something more serious — the elusiveness and insecurity of love, even when marriage has bonded the relationship.

The persona is Heaney, but he appears in different versions of himself as the Greek god, Pan, as the boy in Hansel and Gretal, and finally as Orpheus. Aspects of these stories have relevance to the relationship of the man and the woman, as the detailed annotations show.

There is a nightmarish quality created by the images of deserted London Underground tunnels, draughts and the dangers to the lives of the children in Hansel and Gretel and chasing and never reaching an elusive person.

Aug. 29, 1966, the Beatles played the stadium concert of their careers at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.

Though many of the band’s most timeless songs lay ahead of them, this Bay Area live date would mark the end of the Beatles as a touring entity.

This is the last 12 songs The Beatles performed together- at least, until the Apple Rooftop performance…
