  • Soundbyte September 2014
    September 30, 2014 Vol 1 | Issue 6 In This Issue Legendary Artists Show Support for Turtles Victory 1 On the Hill & In the Know 2 In the Valley Below is On The Rise 3 SoundExchange Sponsors Americana Music Festival 2014 5 SoundExchange Rockin @ Lockn’ — 2014 Lockn’ Music Festival Recap 5 SoundExchange Collects Royalties from Around the World 6 Events 7 Legendary Artists Show Support for Turtles Victory In September, the 1960s band The Turtles won a critical legal victory in their lawsuit against Sirius XM. The Turtles sued because Sirius XM has taken the position that it doesn’t need permission — and therefore doesn’t need to pay for use of — pre-1972 recordings protected under state law, even though it does pay for post-1972 recordings that are protected by federal law. This relates to an issue that SoundExchange has long been fighting — the failure of some large digital radio services to pay for the use of such vintage recordings. We think Sirius XM’s position is wrong as a matter of law, and definitely wrong as a matter of justice! The California federal court agreed with our view of the law and sided with The Turtles in their lawsuit. As SoundExchange President and CEO Michael Huppe said in a statement, we believe that “all sound recordings have value, and ALL artists deserve to be paid fairly for the use of their music.” 1 www.soundexchange.com Now, legendary artists like Martha Reeves, T Bone Burnett, Mark Farner (Grand Funk Railroad), and Richie Furay (Buffalo Springfield) are sharing in this sentiment and praising The Turtles for taking up this cause.

  • Delillo's White Noise: Language As a Mirror and Catalyst of Existential
    Maribor International Review DeLillo’s White Noise: Language as a mirror and catalyst of existential anxiety in a world of simulacra Aleksandra Marić, Faculty of Information Technology, Metropolitan University, Belgrade Abstract: This paper explores the manner in which language both depicts and shapes the existential dread felt in DeLillo’s White Noise, a world of simulacra with no other referent but death as a distant memory of reality. Under such conditions, the characters cling to signifiers which are no longer in connection with the signified, they repeat catchwords, slogans and brand names, seemingly believing that the immersion in this abundance will bring the desired oblivion. Instead, this profusion of words and information, allied with the apocalyptic reports of the impending catastrophe, creates fertile ground for insane speculations, finally resulting in all-encompassing schizophrenia. Key words: language, anxiety, simulacra, media, information, catastrophe Simulating life in a hyperreal world reminiscent of the past, present and future is a dramatic experience in itself, and yet the sense of impending danger can only intensify it. White Noise, DeLillo’s eighth novel, which won him the National Book Award in 1985, portrays a postmodern American society characterized by existential uncertainty which grows in the face of potential disaster and simulated evacuations confused with terrifying catastrophe stories. At one point, the unease that most of the dwellers of DeLillo’s Blacksmith and Iron City feel throughout the novel is transfigured into feelings of anxiety and fear bordering on insanity. Still, the change in the general atmosphere of the novel may only partly be attributed to the “airborne toxic event”, as “the booster” of the anxiety increasingly felt among the characters seems to be the language of the novel itself.

  • The Green in White Noise: Consumption, Technology, and The
    The Green in White Noise: Consumption, Technology, and the Environment by Katelyn Hummer A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2013 © March 25, 2013 Katelyn Ashley Hummer Acknowledgements To all voices of encouragement forming the panasonic halo that compelled a silent pen: though I will refrain from including pages of names, please know that you are my signifieds, my referents—my rock. Words cannot express the depth of my gratitude. Abstract In this thesis, I examine consumption in White Noise from two aspects: the characters’ motivations to consume and, subsequently, the ecological consequences of this consumption. Through this discussion of consumption, I propose a re- thinking of White Noise’s canonical status as a postmodern novel, suggesting that perhaps it is a pioneer of a post-postmodern genre. Chapter One begins with an exploration of why it may be “natural” for Jack and Babette to want to consume, which reveals that the they consume to viscerally remain detached from their inanimate environment, ultimately allowing them to “conquer” death. However, the characters’ unnatural, over-consumption results in a state of being too detached; and this feeling of disconnection renders their consumption unfulfilling because they feel an ambiguous lack of a concrete something. This feeling of lack results in a desire for an attachment to something real and tangible in a world of commodities and simulacra, which I propose entails a return to “ancient” “tribal” values. But, in Chapter Two, I show that a sense of telos can also satiate this desire for existential attachment.

  • THE COWL SRW/ Page 2
    TheVol. LXXIX No. 5 @thecowl • thecowl.com ProvidenceCowl College October 2, 2014 Ringing in a New Tradition by Elizabeth Nako ’15 Asst. News Editor CAMPUS The Providence College Class of 2015 was the last class to partake in the traditional DWC program. However, the PC Class of 2015 has kicked off a new annual tradition: Senior Ring Weekend. SRW took place Sept. 26-28. It was a memorable weekend that the members of the Class of 2015 will always treasure when reflecting back on their time at PC. The tradition started back in 1917 when PC was still an all-male school. Men were encouraged to invite girls from other schools as dates. During the fall semester of 2012, the Class of 2015 took a vote on whether they should keep the Junior Ring Weekend tradition, or move the event to senior year because of the high number of students who choose to study abroad during their junior year. The results indicated that members of the Class of 2015 wanted to move ring weekend from the fall of junior year to the fall of senior year— hence a new tradition was born. The Class of 2015 Ring Weekend, for the very first time, was called “Senior Ring Weekend” or SRW. Alex Rawson ’15, chair of the SRW Core, said SRW Weekend was “a great way to kick off senior year.” The SRW Core sold 915 tickets. Rawson said, “The whole mission [of SRW] was to bring the class together.” She feels that this mission was accomplished, as evident from the entire class being on the dance floor both nights laughing and enjoying each other’s company.

Forehand, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate College ABSTRACT Within Cartesian dualism’s traditional nature/culture divide, nature today proves uncanny: both in the uncanny return of human impact through anthropogenic climate change and in the uncanny recognition that that which was other was never really other at all. Contemporary ecocriticism, in theorizing the breakdown of this nature/culture divide, is thereby “post-naturalist.” Ecocritic Timothy Morton speaks toward this denaturalization in his work Hyperobjects: Philosophy and Ecology After the End of the World.

  • London Calling
    OST BUDDING FILM students limit themselves to making a nice, leisurely short film over the course of a degree. Not Thomas Ikimi. Whilst undertaking a writing degree at Columbia University he maxed out a $9000 credit card to fund his 2005 feature debut Limbo, balancing filming with his mid terms. Whilst so many are ashamed of their early forays, thinking back on it Ikimi still has a fondness for his debut. M‘When you watch Limbo, to film fans, the homage to the old school ’60s and ’70s paranoid thrillers is clear. I didn’t have much money, and I wanted to make something that was dynamic, challenging and interesting.’ The gamble paid off and after showing the film at the Cannes Film Market it was invited to open the Taormina International Film Festival in Sicily, where it screened with Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins. The reason that’s worth mentioning is that Ikimi cites Nolan as an inspiration and Legacy, his second feature (although he hastens to add that it’s his first professional feature), bristles with the same darkly psychological tone, narrative experimentation and creative verve as Memento. TEXT BY DEAN BOWMAN ‘My filmmaking influences are Alfred Hitchcock, Chris Nolan and Stephen Spielberg,’ says Ikimi. ‘There are elements of all three directors in Legacy, but I would say that the idea of a single room film came from both Hitchcock’s one room thrillers (Rear Window, Rope, Dial M for Murder) and Twelve Angry Men.” Despite being set in New York, where the film’s themes tap perfectly into the altered mentality following 9/11, Legacy was actually filmed in a Glasgow tenement.
