  • PRESSEMITTEILUNG 18.11.2014 DANKO JONES Spielen Exklusive
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 18.11.2014 DANKO JONES spielen exklusive Album Release Shows 18 Jahre, zwölf Alben, mehr als 30 transatlantische Touren, 15 Top-40-Singles, 350.000 Downloads seines Podcasts, Arena-Touren durch zwölf Länder zusammen mit Guns’n’Roses, eine Video-Trilogie mit Elijah Wood and Ralph Macchio als Hauptdarsteller, eine abendfüllende Dokumentation, eine Biografie, eine persönlich Einladung von Lemmy Kilmister, Motörhead auf Tour zu begleiten: Für die meisten Musiker wäre das eine Bombenkarriere. DANKO JONES nennt so etwas: sich aufwärmen. Die Rollings Stones haben an diesem Punkt der Laufbahn angefangen, mit „Emotional Rescue“ mit weniger Aufwand mehr Geld zu verdienen, Kiss haben Balladen mit Michael Bolton geschrieben, und Iggy Pop war im Mainstream-Radio angekommen. „Fire Music“ dagegen, das kommende Album des kanadischen Trios, ist voller aufwieglerischer, grimmiger, Riff-gesättigter Brandbomben. Frontmann und Songwriter DANKO JONES ist angepisst und lässt das alle spüren: Das Material auf dieser Platte ist so explosiv, dass eigentlich ein Warn-Hinweis auf das Cover gehört, dass die Musik das Vinyl, auf das sie gepresst ist, schmelzen wird. „Fire Music“ ist eine Therapie, die nicht gefruchtet hat und die sich in reinem, gnadenlosem, gewalttätigem Rock’n’Roll entlädt. Zweifellos hat die Verpflichtung des neuen Drummers Rich Knox Danko und seinen Bassisten John JC Calabrese das Trio in neue, noch extremere rhythmische Höhen geführt, nachzuhören beispielsweise auf dem Teaser-Track „Gonna Be A Fight Tonight“, der seit einigen Tagen im Netz kursiert. „I got a date with dynamite“, sang der Frontmann 1996 am Anfang seiner Karriere „if you got the guts, well, light my match.“ Ein Versprechen, das bis heute gilt, und zwar mehr denn je.

  • American Punk: the Relations Between Punk Rock, Hardcore, and American Culture
    American Punk: The Relations between Punk Rock, Hardcore, and American Culture Gerfried Ambrosch ABSTRACT Punk culture has its roots on both sides of the Atlantic. Despite continuous cross-fertiliza- tion, the British and the American punk traditions exhibit distinct features. There are notable aesthetic and lyrical differences, for instance. The causes for these dissimilarities stem from the different cultural, social, and economic preconditions that gave rise to punk in these places in the mid-1970s. In the U. K., punk was mainly a movement of frustrated working-class youths who occupied London’s high-rise blocks and whose families’ livelihoods were threatened by a declin- ing economy and rising unemployment. Conversely, in America, punk emerged as a middle-class phenomenon and a reaction to feelings of social and cultural alienation in the context of suburban life. Even city slickers such as the Ramones, New York’s counterpart to London’s Sex Pistols and the United States’ first ‘official’ well-known punk rock group, made reference to the mythology of suburbia (not just as a place but as a state of mind, and an ideal, as well), advancing a subver- sive critique of American culture as a whole. Engaging critically with mainstream U.S. culture, American punk’s constitutive other, punk developed an alternative sense of Americanness. Since the mid-1970s, punk has produced a plethora of bands and sub-scenes all around the world. This phenomenon began almost simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic—in London and in New York, to be precise—and has since spread to the most remote corners of the world.

  • Applied Eugenics
    CHAPTER III DIFFERENCES AMONG MEN While Mr. Jefferson, when he wrote into the Declaration of Independence his belief in the self-evidence of the truth that all men are created equal, may have been thinking of legal rights merely, he was expressing an opinion common among philosophers of his time. J. J. Rousseau it was who made the idea popular, and it met with widespread acceptance for many years. It is not surprising, therefore, that the phrase has long been a favorite with the demagogue and the utopian. Even now the doctrine is by no means dead. The American educational system is based largely on this dogma, and much of the political system seems to be grounded on it. It can be seen in the tenets of labor unions, in the practice of many philanthropies--traces may be found almost anywhere one turns, in fact. Common enough as applied to mental qualities, the theory of human equality is even more widely held of "moral" qualities. Men are considered to be equally responsible for their conduct, and failure to conform to the accepted code in this respect brings punishment. It is sometimes conceded that men have had differing opportunities to learn the principles of morality; but given equal opportunities, it is almost universally held that failure to follow the principles indicates not inability but unwillingness. In short, public opinion rarely admits that men may differ in their inherent capacity to act morally. In view of its almost universal and unquestioned, although half unconscious, acceptance as part of the structure of society, it becomes of the utmost importance that this doctrine of human equality should be examined by scientific methods.

  • This Ain't a Scene, It's a Buzzer Race.Pdf
    This Ain’t a Scene, It’s a Buzzer Race Sadboys are temporary. Sad trumpets are forever. Written by Brian Luong Tossups: 1. This band’s extensive and impressive merchandise catalogue can be attributed to guitarist Nick Steinhardt’s side occupation as a graphic designer. A live EP following this band’s sophomore studio album was titled Live on BBC Radio 1 and featured vocals from Jordan Dreyer of La Dispute. It’s not Red Hot Chili Peppers, but this band’s distinct asterisk-shaped logo was meant to evoke converging road markings leading to a sunset, and was first used in promotional artwork for the band’s second album, with that album’s initials “PTSBBAM” arranged in the negative spaces of the logo. This band’s 2016 single “Palm Dreams” was described by their frontman as a song about his inability to ask his mother about why she moved to California after she passed. The album from which that single is taken, as a whole, deals with themes of frontman Jeremy Bolm grieving the loss of his mother due to cancer. For 10 points, give the name of this Los Angeles-based post-hardcore band, which you may know from the albums Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me and Stage Four. ANSWER: Touché Amoré 2. This website once hosted a stand-up and sketch comedy tour titled All Comics Are Bastards. This website’s sister site was also responsible for the creation and management of the Twitter account of Ace Watkins, whose bio reads, “The only Gamer running for President of the United States”.
