Snow Patrol Veröffentlichen Ihr Best-Of-Album „Up to Now“ Am 06 SNOW PATROL VERÖFFENTLICHEN IHR BEST-OF-ALBUM „UP TO NOW“ AM 06. NOVEMBER! DARAUF VERTRETEN SIND AUCH DREI BRANDNEUE SONGS, UNTER ANDEREM DIE SINGLE „JUST SAY YES“, DIE AM 30. OKTOBER IN DIE LÄDEN KOMMT! Am 06. November veröffentlichen Snow Patrol mit „Up To Now“ (Fiction) ein Doppelalbum, auf dem alle großen Hits der britischen Rocker versammelt sind! Snow Patrol zählen zu den größten Bands des letzten Jahrzehnts: Im Verlauf ihrer inzwischen gut 15-jährigen Bandgeschichte, in der sie fünf Studioalben aufgenommen haben, hat das schottisch-irische Quintett – bestehend aus Sänger und Songschreiber Gary Lightbody, Bassist Paul Wilson, Gitarrist Nathan Connolly, Jonny Quinn am Schlagzeug und Keyboarder Tom Simpson – sowohl herzergreifende Balladen („Set Down Your Glass“) als auch Festival-Hymnen („Run“) geschrieben, bei denen man sich einfach umarmen muss; sowohl astreine Radiohits („Chasing Cars“) als auch Songs, die so persönlich sind, dass es fast schon wehtut („You Could Be Happy“). All diese Facetten ihres Sounds sind auf „Up To Now“ versammelt, einem aus insgesamt 30 Songs bestehenden Doppelalbum, auf dem neben Singles und Albumsongs auch Cover-Versionen, Raritäten sowie ein paar brandneue Songs und Stücke von Reindeer Section vertreten sind: jener schottischen Indie-Supergroup, bei der unter Lightbodys Anleitung unter anderem auch Mitglieder von Belle and Sebastian, Idlewild und Teenage Fanclub mitwirken. „Es ist ein Porträt von uns als Band, auf dem wir alles zeigen – selbst unsere Warzen“, sagt Lightbody. „Wir haben einen Hügel bestiegen, und jetzt werfen wir einen Blick zurück und genießen die Aussicht ein wenig. Außerdem fühlt es sich gut an, den Leuten zu zeigen, dass wir nicht einfach so aus dem Nichts aufgetaucht sind.“ Seit ihrer Gründung in Schottland im Jahr 1994 haben sich Snow Patrol langsam aber sicher zu einer der größten Rockbands der Welt entwickelt, um schließlich über zehn Millionen Einheiten ihrer letzten drei Studioalben („Final Straw“ aus dem Jahr 2003, „Eyes Open“ von 2006 und „A Hundred Million Suns“ aus dem vergangenen Jahr) zu verkaufen. Dazu landeten sie bei den Grammys, den BRITs, den BMI Awards, den Meteor Music Awards und den Ivor Novello Awards auf der Liste der Nominierten oder konnten gleich den einen oder anderen Preis mit nach Hause nehmen. „Up To Now“ erscheint als 2-CD mit 30 Tracks und darüber hinaus als 3-Disc-Digipak inklusive einer zusätzlichen DVD, auf der zwei exklusive Dokumentationen, der animierte Film „The Lightning Strike“ und bis dato unveröffentlichtes Live-Material zu sehen sind. Zusätzlich gibt es noch eine Heavyweight-Box, die jedoch nur in streng limitierter Auflage erscheint: Sie ist in Stoff eingewickelt und durchnummeriert, und die ersten 100 Stück sind mit Autogrammen von sämtlichen Bandmitgliedern versehen. Die Box ist wahrhaft eine Fundgrube für Fans: Darin enthalten sind die 2-CD, drei LPs aus Heavyweight-Vinyl, zwei DVDs, eine Lithographie von Bradley Quinn und ein Booklet im LP-Format. Weitere Details zur Erhältlichkeit der Box folgen noch. Das komplette Tracklisting von „Up To Now“ liest sich wie folgt: CD1: 01: „Chocolate“ 02: „Chasing Cars“ 03: „Crack The Shutters“ 04: „Set The Fire To The Third Bar“ 05: „Crazy In Love“ 06: „Just Say Yes“ 07: „Batten Down The Hatch“ 08: „You’re All I Have“ 09: „Hands Open“ 10: „Cartwheels“ 11: „The Planets Bend Between Us“ (2009 Version) 12: „Ask Me How I Am“ 13: „On-Off“ 14: „Making Enemies“ 15: „Run (Live at the Union Chapel)“ CD2: 01: „Take Back the City“ 02: „Shut Your Eyes“ 03: „An Olive Grove Facing The Sea“ (2009 Version) 04: „Run“ 05: „Give Me Strength“ 06: „Signal Fire“ 07: „Spitting Games“ 08: „Open Your Eyes“ 09: „Dark Roman Wine“ 10: „Fifteen Minutes Old“ 11: „You Are My Joy“ 12: „Golden Floor“ 13: „Starfighter Pilot“ 14: „PPP“ 15: „Chasing Cars (Live at the Union Chapel)“ „Just Say Yes“, einer von insgesamt drei brandneuen Songs auf dem Doppelalbum, wird am 30. Oktober als Single auf Fiction Records erscheinen. Gleich im Anschluss an die Veröffentlichung von „Up To Now“ wird die Band ihre „Snow Patrol Reworked“-Tour durch Großbritannien antreten, gewissermaßen das Live-Pendant zum Album, denn auch live werden Lightbody & Co. die Highlights ihrer Karriere präsentieren – allerdings durchweg im neuen Gewand und in speziell für die anstehende Tour konzipierten neuen Versionen. So haben die Fans die Gelegenheit, einen Blick auf die Anfänge von Snow Patrol zu werfen und kommen gleichzeitig in den Genuss, vollkommen neue Versionen ihrer Klassiker geboten zu bekommen. Zudem werden Snow Patrol im Rahmen der „Reworked“-Tour weitere Musiker und der eine oder andere Überraschungsgast zur Seite stehen: ein Streicherquartett, Blechbläser und ein Chor sowie Unterstützung mit Harfe, Percussions und Hawaiigitarre sind bereits angekündigt. Hier die Termine der „Reworked“-Tour: 18.11. – Brighton Centre 20.11. – Bristol Colston Hall 21.11. – Newcastle City Hall 23.-25.11. – London Royal Albert Hall 27. & 29.11 – Manchester Palace Theatre 30.11. – Glasgow Clyde Auditorium 07.-09.12. – Belfast Waterfront Tall Weitere Informationen unter: www.snowpatrol.com und www.SnowPatrol.de „Up To Now“ erscheint am 06. November auf Fiction Records; die brandneue Single „Just Say Yes“ ist bereits ab dem 30. Oktober erhältlich! .

Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2017 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the relationship between the print novel and new media. It argues that this relationship is productive; that is, it locates the novel and new media within a tense, but symbiotic relationship. This requires an understanding of media relations that is ecological, rather than competitive. More precise, this dissertation investigates ways that the novel incorporates new media. The word “incorporate” refers both to embodiment and physical union.

  • Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
    CHASING CARS BY SNOW PATROL What is the meaning of this song, and its lyrics for me? Well, I think that there is something special in the way that word's from a song can inspire me. It may not be the reason the song lyrics were intended to be interpreted, but they hold special meaning to me. You know that way, when you hear the music and you stop, the memories still vivid in your mind, whether they are happy or sad, the use of words or melody carrying you away to that special place. In the case of Chasing cars, I could say that the first time that I heard Chasing cars was in the school, at that time I didn't know which was the translation of the song because I wasn't interest in English. However, when I heard it, I felt many things at the same time; one of those things was inspired by the tone of voice of the Snow patrol’s vocalist Gary Lightbody. "Chasing Cars" is the second single from Snow Patrol's When I heard this song in the voice of Gary, I recognized a fourth album, Eyes Open. It story behind, maybe a love story or even an advice given to was recorded in 2005 and him by someone or perhaps a special moment for him to released on 6 June 2006 in the US and 24 July 2006 in remember. But how a singer can transmit so different the UK as the album's second meanings just in simple lyrics of a song? ingle Sincerely, I don't know, but songs like Chasing cars with rhythms of Alternative rock, folk rock, power pop and a little bit of Britpop were so popular during the end of 90's and early 2000 due to its sound, its social context, and its regional roots were innovative for its time; Many of those popular songs in 2000 had similar characteristics with Snow Patrol’ Song, some of them are ''Dani California'' by Red Hot Chilli Papers, ''Lips of an angel'' by Hinder and some other bands like Nickelback, Breaking Benjamin and Goo Goo Dolls.

  • BBC Music Booklet Celebrating 80 Years of Music.Pdf
    Celebrating Years of Music A Serenade to Music “We are the music-makers And we are the dreamers of dreams…” (Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy, Ode) The story of BBC Northern Ireland’s involvement in nurturing and broadcasting local musical talent is still in the making. This exhibition provides a revealing glimpse of work in progress at the BBC’s Community Archive in documenting the programmes and personalities who have brought music in all its different forms to life, and looks at how today’s broadcasters are responding to the musical styles and opportunities of a new century. It celebrates BBC NI’s role in supporting musical diversity and creative excellence and reflects changes in fashion, technology and society across 80 years of local broadcasting. “ Let us celebrate the way we were and the way we live now. Much has been achieved since 2BE’s first faltering (and scarcely heard) musical broadcast in 1924. Innovation has Let us celebrate the ways we will be... been a defining feature of every decade from early radio concerts in regional towns and country halls to the pioneering work of Sean O’Boyle in recording traditional music and Sam Hanna Bell’s 1950s programmes of Belfast’s Let us count the ways to celebrate. street songs.The broadcasts of the BBC Wireless Orchestra and its successors find their contemporary echo in the world-class performances of the Ulster Orchestra and BBC NI’s radio and television schedules continue to Let us celebrate.” reverberate to the diverse sounds of local jazz, traditional and country music, religious services, brass bands, choirs, (Roger McGough - Poems of Celebration) contemporary rock, pop and dance music.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

A Business Perspective Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Business Administration International Business and Logistics 1405484 22nd March 2018 Abstract Author(s) Jose Dailos Cabrera Laasanen Title Is Rock Music in Decline? A Business Perspective Number of Pages 45 Date 22.03.2018 Degree Bachelor of Business Administration Degree Programme International Business and Logistics Instructor(s) Michael Keaney, Senior Lecturer Rock music has great importance in the recent history of human kind, and it is interesting to understand the reasons of its de- cline, if it actually exists. Its legacy will never disappear, and it will always be a great influence for new artists but is important to find out the reasons why it has become what it is in now, and what is the expected future for the genre. This project is going to be focused on the analysis of some im- portant business aspects related with rock music and its de- cline, if exists. The collapse of Gibson guitars will be analyzed, because if rock music is in decline, then the collapse of Gibson is a good evidence of this. Also, the performance of independ- ent and major record labels through history will be analyzed to understand better the health state of the genre. The same with music festivals that today seem to be increasing their popularity at the expense of smaller types of live-music events.

  • Jacknife Lee
    Jacknife Lee It is fair to say that Jacknife Lee has become one of the most sought after and highly influential producers currently at work. Lee’s career has encompassed work with some of the biggest and most influential artists on both sides of the Atlantic in the shape of Taylor Swift, U2, R.E.M., Kasabian, Robbie Williams and Neil Diamond. His work on U2’s “How To Dismantle An Atom Bomb” saw him collect two Grammy Awards in 2006 as well as Producer of the Year at the UK MMF Awards. He was also again Grammy nominated in 2013 for his work on Swift’s multi-million selling album “Red.” Currently working on what looks set to be the biggest album from Scottish alt-rock heroes Twin Atlantic and the debut album from The Gossip’s Beth Ditto, Lee has also produced a handful of tracks on Jake Bugg’s upcoming third album and is just about to commence work with Two Door Cinema Club after their successful collaboration on Beacon two years previously. In 2014, Lee was honoured to be asked to co-produce Neil Diamond’s “Melody Road” album alongside the tremendously talented Don Was. “Melody Road” debuted at #3 in America and #4 in the UK as it received universal critical acclaim. Lee has gained much recognition as a writer producer over the last five years. In 2014 also Lee co write and produced various singles for Kodaline’s second album “Coming Up For Air” which peaked at #2, while he also produced and co-wrote Twin Atlantic’s Radio 1 A-listed singles “Heart and Soul” and “Brothers and Sisters.” In addition, Lee spent some of the year writing and producing track for alternative urban artist Raury.
