Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You

We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

Fort Lauderdale’s own Nonpoint just sent us a copy of its just-released, fierce rock explosion of a new album, Miracle. Unfortunately, the image on the right isn’t nearly as bright and vibrant as the package sitting in front of me.

What came next didn’t prompt Rod Serling to jump out behind me and announce that an episode of the Twilight Zone had just begun, but it was still pretty unusual.

To recreate the experience of examining Miracle for the first time, I brought the CD to our art director. The rest lives on in a YouTube clip. Spoiler alert: Our participant utters “What the deuce?” at one point.
