  • Neuromancer , Crack, the Net, Rock 'N' Roll and His Latest Book, Idoru, in Which He Investigates the Mechanisms of Celebrity in the Modern Age
    Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html About these Study Guides I created these study guides to help my students prepare for literature classes. They are meant to serve several functions. 1) Some of them provide background to help readers understand what they are reading and why they are reading it (the historical status of the works). 2) They provide useful information, explaining allusions, obscure terms, etc. in the texts and provide translations of passages written in languages other than English. 3) They try to focus students' attention on issues that we will discuss in class. Rationale One of the most common student complaints in literature classes is that they can't figure out what the teacher expects them to get out of the assignments. Homework turns into a massive guessing game, failing which, students wait for the teacher to clarify things in class. This makes for sluggish or nonexistent discussions. Students using these guides can read with more purpose. They know what issues I am going to want to them to deal with in class and can prepare much better. I require my students to prepare written answers to the questions in these guides and come to class prepared to answer any one of them. At the beginning of class I collect the notes along with the quizzes. Not every question must be answered in the notes but they must show a diligent effort at preparation. Since I began using these guides, few students come to class without having both read and thought about the assignment, and discussions have improved enormously.

  • S Album of the Week: the Slackers
    Rob’s Album Of The Week: The Slackers Ska is a genre that has been in a bit of a crossroads over the past few years. It’s kind of in the same position punk rock was in the late 2000s, out of the limelight but still around somewhat, and there’s a dedicated fan base still packing venues to dance to the rhythms. For 25 years The Slackers from New York City have been keeping two tone alive and they’re not going away. Furthering the latter is their brand new self-titled album coming out on February 19. Bringing that trademark jazzy spin on the genre, Vic Ruggiero and crew haven’t slowed down at all since coming up from Manhattan in 1991. The groovy sextet from The Big Apple incorporates a bit of psychedelia and garage rock in their latest release. Each track brings something different; a few are heavy with the horns while others have the keys as the base of the entire song. It definitely makes the experience a stimulating one. It’ll be difficult to grow bored while diving to this one. Ruggiero also brings that laid back soul he’s known for to keep everything timeless. Is Ska due for the 4th Wave? Only time will tell. It’ll take a bunch of kids rejuvenating the rude boy ideal and that’s only a small part of what it’ll take. A big part of this weekly review are my top tracks off of the Album Of The Week. Open wide, take a bite, repeat and get your fill.

  • Ty Segall Presents “Radio” Off First Taste, New Album Due August 2Nd Via Drag City ​ ​
    July 1, 2019 For Immediate Release Ty Segall Presents “Radio” Off First Taste, New Album Due August 2nd Via Drag City ​ ​ Listen HERE ​ Tickets for Special LA + NYC Residencies On Sale Now; LA Residency Kicks Off This Month Photo Credit: Denée Segall ​ Ty Segall presents “Radio,” a new single from his forthcoming album, First Taste, due ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ August 2nd via Drag City. Just in time for the July 4th festivities (such as they are), “Radio” ​ should satisfy all our barely-subsumed bloodlust and immutable desire to rule while also providing a majestically boomboxable anthem to revel along with at the cookout. As “Taste,” a number that “churns like a buzzsaw without forfeiting any melody” (Rolling ​ ​ ​ Stone), continues to rise at radio, new single “Radio” sizzles with koto by Segall, saxophone ​ and piano by Mikal Cronin, bass by Emmett Kelly, percussion and drums by Segall and ​ ​ ​ ​ Charles Moothart, and back up vocals by Shannon Lay. Through layered vocals, Segall ​ ​ ​ describes shedding an old identity, adopting a new one and accepting what he cannot change: “It makes me feel like I am living for free // While I’m watching the new radio // My ​ anger has gone away // Replaced by my new name // I’m no longer empty // I need no family.” “‘Radio’ is a science non-fiction song,” says Segall. “We live in a Cronenberg film. It has ​ ​ ​ Videodrome saxoheadphones. I am a slave to the new radio and so are you.” First Taste is an introspective set for Ty Segall after the extroversions of 2018’s Freedom’s ​ ​ Goblin, yet just as steeped in hard beats.

  • Ty Segall Announces New Album, ​First Taste
    June 4, 2019 For Immediate Release Ty Segall Announces New Album, First Taste, Due August 2nd ​ ​ Via Drag City, and Releases “Taste” Video/Single ​ Support for LA + NYC Residencies Announced (photo credit - Denée Segall) “Our salivating makes it all taste worse,” croons Ty Segall in “Taste,” the lead single / video ​ ​ ​ ​ from his forthcoming album, First Taste, due August 2nd via Drag City. He’s talking about ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ us: how we’re the masters of our own destiny, tellers of our own prophecy, makers of our own sickened choices. It’s a warning, but this time, the finger is pointing back at him too. He’s one with us. First Taste is an introspective set for Segall after the extroversions of 2018’s ​ ​ Freedom’s Goblin. Lines of struggle wind through the songs as Segall reflects on family, ​ re-encountering pasts, anticipating futures. He skates through oneness, self-esteem, the parents – all the joys of a rain-filled childhood – while reaching outward in the here and now, feeling for a shared pulse. Meanwhile, the production is far out! Segall’s creative juices suggested some radical (in the older sense of the word) new instrumental territories: koto, recorder, bouzouki, harmonizer, mandolin, saxophones and brass, voices, and a sprinkling of keys. Segall occupies the drumset whenever it’s heard on the left speaker, while Charles Moothart plays the kit on the ​ ​ right side. Segall’s vocal prowess sits in fresh relief against his mutant orchestra, spooling tension through some of his most patient songs, his feral scream in complete control. Whatever the mood is, the pedal is pushed cleanly to the metal — and that means to the max of the lightest ballads ever, OR through the most raging rocks yet.

Letteney A Thesis in the Field of English for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University March 2018 ! Copyright 2018 Timothy R. Letteney ! ! Abstract William Gibson’s Sprawl Trilogy has left an indelible mark on pop culture and has even influenced the trajectory of digital technologies. While not the first purveyor, Gibson is often credited with popularizing the science fiction subgenre known as cyberpunk. Gibson himself never championed the term himself, but he certainly benefited from its zeitgeist. At their core, Gibson’s futuristic techno-laden narratives owe as much to the crime fiction of the 1930’s and 1940’s as they do to the science fiction of the 1970’s and 1980’s. Much like Dashiell Hammett’s socially conscious crime fiction, Gibson’s techno-noir has much more than the plot moves going on. Gibson’s Sprawl is a tactful takedown of the burgeoning materialistic consumer driven society of the 1980’s. Gibson did not write these novels as a warning for the future, but as a spotlight for contemporary issues.
