„My Cassette Player“ Auf Platz Eins Der Album-Charts Presse / 2010 / Lena stürmt mit „My Cassette Player“ auf Platz eins der Album-Charts Nur noch wenige Tage bis Lena in Oslo beim Finale des Eurovision Song Contests auf der Bühne stehen und ihren Rekord-Hit „Satellite“ live performen wird! Nach Platz #1 und der dreifachen Goldauszeichnung für den Gewinnersong, erobert Lena diese Woche auch mit ihrem Debütalbum „My Cassette Player“ auf Anhieb die Spitze der Albumcharts. Nur noch wenige Tage bis Lena in Oslo beim Finale des Eurovision Song Contests auf der Bühne stehen und ihren Rekord-Hit „Satellite“ live performen wird! Nach Platz #1 und der dreifachen Goldauszeichnung für den Gewinnersong, erobert Lena diese Woche auch mit ihrem Debütalbum „My Cassette Player“ auf Anhieb die Spitze der Albumcharts. Der Countdown läuft: Nachdem Lena im März zur Siegerin des deutschen Vorentscheids zum Eurovision Song Contest gekürt wurde, eroberten gleich drei Songs – „Satellite“, „Bee“ und „Love Me“ – die Top 5 der Singlecharts. In der Geschichte der deutschen Charts war dies keinem Künstler je zuvor gelungen. Der Gewinnersong „Satellite“, mit dem Lena in Oslo beim Finale antreten wird, stieg direkt auf Platz #1 ein und wurde mittlerweile mit 3fach-Gold (über 500.000 verkaufte Einheiten) ausgezeichnet. Nun darf sich Lena über ein weiteres Highlight freuen: Ihr Debütalbum „My Cassette Player“, das von Stefan Raab produziert wurde, stieg von Null auf Platz 1 an die Spitze der Albumcharts. Allein in der ersten Woche wurden über 200.000 Alben an den Handel ausgeliefert; der Platin-Award damit in greifbarer Nähe. Lena hat bei „My Cassette Player“ intensiv an den Texten mitgearbeitet. "Es ist eine richtige Mischung, von Pop bis Funk sind viele verschiedene Elemente dabei und wir führen das, was wir mit den ersten drei Songs angefangen haben, weiter fort", beschreibt Lena das fertige Werk. Neben „Satellite“ sind auch die beiden anderen, bereits bekannten Songs sowie Lenas Versionen von Adeles „My Same“ und Jason Mraz‘ „Mr. Curiosity“ auf dem Album zu finden. „My Cassette Player“ ist als Standard Version und als Deluxe Version inklusive einer 23- minütigen Dokumentation und dem Video zu "Satellite" erhältlich. Jetzt heißt es Daumen drücken für das Finale am 29. Mai, das in der ARD live übertragen wird!

  • Eurovision Song Contest: Lena-Meyer Landrut Verpasst Mit „Taken by a Stranger“ Die Charts-Spitze
    09.03.2011 http://www.derwesten.de/nachrichten/Lena-Meyer-Landrut-verpasst-mit-Taken-By-A-Stranger- die-Charts-Spitze-id4397104.html Eurovision Song Contest Lena-Meyer Landrut verpasst mit „Taken By A Stranger“ die Charts-Spitze Nachrichten, 09.03.2011, Ingmar Kreienbrink Lena Meyer-Landrut wird für Deutschland beim Eurovision Song Contest mit dem Song „Taken By A Stranger“ das Projekt Titelverteidigung angehen. (Foto: © Sandra Ludewig / Universal Music 2011) Essen. Die Bilanz ist auf den ersten Blick beeindruckend: Mit fünf Singles aus ihrem neuen Album landete Lena Meyer-Landrut gleichzeitig in den Deutschen Charts. Doch „Taken by a stranger“ - ihr Song für den Eurovision Song Contest - landet hinter „Grenade“ von Bruno Mars „nur“ auf Platz 2. Bei dem vorherigen Medienhype durch die ARD/ProSieben-Kooperations-Sendung „Unser Song für Deutschland“ ist das kleine Überraschung. Schließlich sprang ihr Sieger-Lied „Satellite“ vor einem Jahr ebenso von Null auf 1 wie zahlreiche andere Songs aus anderen Casting-Shows wie etwa „Deutschland sucht den Superstar“ (DSDS). „Mittleres Chart-Fiasko für Plattenfirma Universal“ Jetzt diskutieren die Fans über die Folgen und die Außenwirkung durch die „Schlappe“. Schließlich ist „Taken by a Stranger“ für den Eurovision Song Contest „Unser Song für Deutschland“. In einem Blog ist unter anderem von einem mittleren Chart-Fiasko für die Plattenfirma „Universal“ die Rede. Doch die Gründe für das Ergebnis scheinen wesentlich komplexer. So hat es offenbar in der Startwoche eine Verkaufssperre für den Titel bei wichtigen Downloadshops vom Media Markt, Saturn, MedionMusic und Jamba gegeben. „Download-Verkäufe machen rund 85 Prozent der offiziellen deutschen Single Charts aus“, erläutert Hans Schmucker von media control auf DerWesten-Anfrage.

  • Embodiment, Phenomenology and Listener Receptivity of Nirvana’S in Utero
    ‘WE FEED OFF EACH OTHER’: EMBODIMENT, PHENOMENOLOGY AND LISTENER RECEPTIVITY OF NIRVANA’S IN UTERO Christopher Martin A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2006 Committee: Jeremy Wallach Becca Cragin Angela Nelson ii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Despite the fact that listening to recorded music is a predominant form of human interaction with music in general, music scholarship often continues to classify listening as a passive form of reception in comparison to the “activity” of actual music performance. This thesis presents the idea that music listening is actually an embodied and agentive form of reception that varies according to different listeners, their listening strategies, and other surrounding contexts. In order to provide detailed analysis of this assertion, Nirvana’s 1993 album In Utero is the primary recording that this thesis examines, arguing that the album contains specific embodied properties that ultimately allow for embodied forms of listening and responses within the musical experience. Phenomenological reasoning and scholarship from popular music studies, history, cultural studies, and other humanities fields contribute to the central argument. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe an oversized thank you to the following friends and family for their support: Pat and Priscilla Martin, Veronica Martin, Linda Coleson, and my colleagues in the Popular Culture department. Aaron Weinacht and Patrick Blythe earn special thanks for their continuing willingness to participate in arguments and theories that, as always, range from prescient to ridiculous. Kandace Virgin also deserves my thanks and love for patiently tolerating my stubbornness and need to constantly work ahead, as well as my other idiosyncrasies.

Dabei soll ebenfalls festgehalten werden, welchen Kriterien eine Musikproduktion gerecht werden sollte, damit sie vom Zuhörer als dynamisch klingend empfunden wird und welches Potential die Dynamic Range besitzt dem Loudness War entgegenzuwirken. Hierfür wurden die Dynamic Ranges von insgesamt 5269 Musikti- teln aus dem Zeitraum von 1982 bis 2017 bestimmt. This study contains a current tendency of the Loudness War which deals with the ques- tion in which way a louder and more compressed production impacts the dynamic of a song. The main focus of this study is to give an advice, which criteria should be fulfilled that music reaches an audience in a dynamic way and to show whether the Dynamic Range has got the potential to lead the Loudness War to an end.

With influences from science fiction, horror, weird, and literary fiction, the untitled novel blends genres for a disturbing account. This novel also plays with constraints in the spirit of many constraint-based writing movements, without the inclusion of names, few identifying markers, and in publication the removal of title, chapter numbers, page numbers, and author name.
