  • The Artists' View of Seattle
    WHERE DOES SEATTLE’S CREATIVE COMMUNITY GO FOR INSPIRATION? Allow us to introduce some of our city’s resident artists, who share with you, in their own words, some of their favorite places and why they choose to make Seattle their home. Known as one of the nation’s cultural centers, Seattle has more arts-related businesses and organizations per capita than any other metropolitan area in the United States, according to a recent study by Americans for the Arts. Our city pulses with the creative energies of thousands of artists who call this their home. In this guide, twenty-four painters, sculptors, writers, poets, dancers, photographers, glass artists, musicians, filmmakers, actors and more tell you about their favorite places and experiences.

  • The Neptune Theatre: a Case Study
    Seattle University ScholarWorks @ SeattleU Seattle Theater Group Arts Ecosystem Research Project 2020 The Neptune Theatre: A Case Study Ana N. Rusness-Petersen Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarworks.seattleu.edu/seattle-theater-group THE NEPTUNE THEATRE 1 Photo courtesy STG Archive and Gallery The Neptune Theatre: A Case Study Ana N. Rusness-Petersen Seattle University Cultural Infrastructure and Facilities March 19, 2019 (updated May, 2020) THE NEPTUNE THEATRE 2 Abstract The Neptune Theatre, formerly known as the U-Neptune Theatre, was one of five neighborhood theaters constructed in the University District during the silent film era (1919 - 1921). This period, the 1920s, was “Seattle’s most active decade” of theater construction (Flom, 2001). Today, the Neptune remains as the last standing survivor of those venues still in operation a hundred years later. Still owned by descendants of the original family and now leased and operated by the Seattle Theatre Group (STG), this venue hosts artists and events ranging from David Crosby concerts to a Welcome to Nightvale live podcast performance; from a Macklemore guest appearance (Matson, 2012) to the annual Nights at the Neptune and Youth Speaks series. It remains one of Seattle’s premiere hot spots for concerts, film screenings, spoken word and dance showcases, and performances by touring musical legends and community youth alike. In our current environment of constrained resources, fiscal scrutiny, monotonous modern construction, and a movement towards historical stewardship and adaptive reuse, it is vital to develop a familiarity with exemplary facilities that embody long-term success by exploring and analyzing their leadership, design, operation, maintenance, and capitalization strategies, which have contributed to their ongoing survival and flourishment.

  • Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Kurt Cobain
    f Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Kurt Cobain (from top) N irvana By David Fricke The Seattle band led and defined the early-nineties alternative-rock uprising, unleashing a generation s pent-up energy and changing the sound and future of rock. THIS IS WHAT NIRVANA SINGER-GUITARIST KURT Cobain thought of institutional honors in rock & roll: When his band was photographed for the cover of Rolling Stone for the first time, in early 1992, he arrived wearing a white T-shirt on which he’d written, c o r p o r a t e m a g a z i n e s s t i l l s u c k in black marker. The slogan was his twist on one coined by the punk-rock label SST: “Corporate Rock Still Sucks.” The hastily arranged photo session, held by the side of a road during a manic tour of Australia, was later recalled by photogra­ pher Mark Seliger: “I said to Kurt, T think that’s a great shirt... but let’s shoot a couple with and without it.’ Kurt said, ‘No, I’m not going to take my shirt off.’” Rolling Stone ran his Fuck You un-retouched. ^ Cobain was also mocking his own success. At that moment, Nirvana - Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic, and drummer Dave Grohl - was rock’s biggest new rock band, propelled out of a long-simmering postpunk scene in Seattle by its incendiary second album, N everm ind, and an improbable Top Ten single, “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Right after New Year’s Day 1992, Nevermind - Nirvana’s first major-label release and a perfect monster of feral-punk challenge and classic-rock magne­ tism, issued to underground ecstacy just months before - had shoved Michael Jackson’s D angerous out of the Number One spot in B illboard.

  • Sulla Storia Della Nascita Dei Pearl Jam C'è Molto Di Più Di Quanto È
    Sulla storia della nascita dei Pearl Jam c’è molto di più di quanto è sempre stato raccontato. Per scoprirlo ho intervistato Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament, Matt Cameron, Chris Cornell e altri attori chiave, ho ripescato manufatti originali del 1990 e ho dato la caccia a registrazioni rare, ho triangolato dati e messo insieme ogni fatto. Per celebrare il ventesimo compleanno dei Pearl Jam, sono orgogliosa di presentare il frutto di oltre 10 anni di minuziosa ricerca originale. Fate un bricco di caffè, accendete la stampante e preparatevi ad una lunga e avvincente lettura ricca di dettagli inediti sugli eventi del 1990, l’anno in cui una serie di magiche e selvagge coincidenze portarono all’unione di un improbabile gruppo di persone che diventarono i PEARL JAM. Jessica Letkemann, ottobre 2010 INVERNO Il nuovo decennio era iniziato in maniera radiosa per il ventitreenne Stone Gossard, il ventiseienne Jeff Ament e i loro compagni dei Mother Love Bone. Il primo album della band, Apple, stava per uscire, il manager Kelly Curtis stava organizzando un tour che sarebbe partito ad aprile, subito dopo l’uscita del disco, e il frontman Andy Wood non stava usando droghe. Il loro primo concerto del 1990 si teneva due giorni dopo capodanno (cinque giorni prima del ventiquattresimo compleanno di Andy) al Vogue, il piccolo club che da allora ha le parole MOTHER LOVE BONE dipinte sulla facciata dell’edificio. La band, speranzosa ed emozionata, era sostenuta inoltre, come fece notare Andy dal palco, dalla nascita della prima figlia di Kelly, avvenuta poco prima, quello stesso giorno.

  • Negotiating the Critique of Gender Inequality in UK Music Industries
    “The Whole Feminist Taking-your- Clothes-off Thing”: Negotiating the Critique of Gender Inequality in UK Music Industries Toby Bennett Solent University [email protected] Abstract This article considers the critique of inequality, exploitation and exclusion in contemporary UK music industries, in light of the latter’s growing internal concerns over work-based gender relations. The creative sector’s persistent inequalities are at odds with its professed liberal, egalitarian, meritocratic values and attitudes. Yet, within music’s industrial production cultures, a dismissive postfeminist sensibility has come under pressure through a reflexive critical moment of popular feminist discourse, expressed in trade press critique, between 2013 and the present moment. Drawing from a study of intermediary work in UK major record labels, the article takes a pragmatist approach to documenting and theorizing this critique – alongside institutional mechanisms, like company policies and corporate PR, that respond to it – in terms of growing industrial reflexivity. Tensions over the representation of work, the nature of inequality, intergenerational and epistemic injustice emerge as key themes, with implications for critical research on popular music industries. KEYWORDS: Creative labour, Inequalities, Industrial Reflexivity, Major Record Labels, Post-feminism. Introduction Between 2007 and 2016 I circulated in and around the UK’s major record labels. First, as an employee in a rights licensing role; later, researching transformations of professional

  • Catherine Russell Press Release (Sarah Folger)
    Grammy® Award-Winning Vocalist Catherine Russell to Release New Album, Harlem On My Mind - September 9 on Jazz Village National Tour Kicks Off July 7 Through November 19 "...early jazz performed with spirit, understanding and a sense of fun." - The New York Times "A wonderfully charismatic performer with a show-stopping voice." - The Washington Post "The best blues and jazz singer going today." - The Wall Street Journal With her sixth album, Harlem On My Mind, Grammy® Award-winning vocalist Catherine Russell journeys to the blue heart of the great African American songbook. Swinging forth with soulful interpretations, Russell taps the golden age of Harlem, as befits this vibrant daughter of jazz. Vocalists Ethel Waters, Billie Holiday, Etta James, and Dinah Washington provide inspiration where tunesmiths like Benny Carter, Irving Berlin, Andy Razaf and Fats Waller once ruled the roost of a renaissance which continues to reverberate. Of the title track, Russell says, “It’s about not forgetting your roots,” which also serves as her modus operandi for the entire collection. “The album is comprised of songs from artists who played at The Apollo in Harlem, where all African American artists of note appeared.” Russell is a native New Yorker, born into musical royalty. Her father, the late Luis Russell, was a legendary pianist/composer/bandleader and Louis Armstrong's long-time musical director. Her mother, Carline Ray, was a pioneering vocalist/guitarist/bassist who performed with International Sweethearts of Rhythm, Mary Lou Williams, and Sy Oliver. Russell notes, “My mother was born and raised in Harlem and my father led one of the leading orchestras in Harlem, which was part of the inspiration for this album.” Harlem On My Mind showcases Russell’s honey rich voice in a variety of settings.
