"There are feelings for every mood," read the 'Tropics' and 'Black Spring' and I said, 'Wow!' I never realized how much Booker says. "When you listen to it, when you're up, it's there with you, and when literature could impact on life. I read Hemingway and Steinbeck, and they were you're down, it's there with you. It's just my personal feeling I put out there, that great.

  • PJ Harvey Celebra La Mort I L'esperança
    Cultura i Mitjans | | Actualitzat el 05/06/2016 a les 16:00 PJ Harvey celebra la mort i l'esperança El concert de la diva britànica al Primavera Sound enamora per continguda, solemne i precisa | El repertori el formen gairebé només cançons del nou disc "The hope six demolition project" PJ Harvey al Primavera Sound | Primavera Sound El concert que PJ Harvey ha fet aquest dissabte, ha estat com la millor marxa fúnebre a la que probablement mai assistiràs. Acompanyada del Hope Six Demolition Project, una banda formada per un llarg número de músics de renom que Harvey ha portar collats durant l'hora llarga de concert a l'escenari Heineken. Amb una solemnitat impertorbable l'actuació ha transcorregut sense cap incident, sense cap nota fora de lloc, sense cap afinació entre cançons. En definitiva sense cap element que pogués despitar el públic d'unes cançons funestes però esperançadores. Polly Jean Harvey ha pujat a l'escenari com una membre més de la banda, amb el saxo a la boca i caminant entre la resta d'instruments de vent i percussió. Chain of keys, del seu nou disc The Hope Six Demolition Project, oha obert la llauna, com si en comptes de ser una de les artistes més influents del rock alternatiu fos una peça més de l'engranatge, en aquest cas d'una espècie de marching band de Nova Orleans. A partir de llavors nou disc s'ha anat desgranant sense masses concessions a antigues perles dels més de vint anys de trajectòria. The Ministry of Defence, The community of hope, A line in the sand i The Orange Monkey van succeir-se de manera calmada amb el tarannà blues que tenyeix les últimes referències de la de Dorset.

In re Determination of Rates and Terms for Docket No. 19-CRB-0005-WR Digital Performance of Sound Recordings (2021-2025) and Making of Ephemeral Copies to Facilitate those Performances (Web V) WRITTEN DIRECT TESTIMONY OF John Strohm President of Rounder Records September, 2019 Exhibit Page 1 of 13 I. Background and Qualifications 1. My name is John Strohm. Since 2017, I have been the President of Rounder Records. I am a 30-year veteran of the independent music community, including 10 years as a full- time working musician and another 10 as an artist-side lawyer. 2. I’m originally from Bloomington, Indiana. My love of music started young, and I grew up listening to a lot of great folk, blues, and jazz records (including a number of Rounder titles) with my dad. I began my music career playing drum set in Indiana’s punk rock scene. In 1985, when I was 18 years old, I left Indiana to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston. There, I switched my focus to the guitar and co-founded the alternative rock band Blake Babies with Juliana Hatfield and Freda Love. We released three full-length albums between 1987 and 1990, and toured in the U.S. and U.K. We later reunited in 2000 and our 2001 album God Bless the Blake Babies was released on the Rounder’s Zöe imprint.
