Issue 529 Beginning to Sound a Lot Like December 5, 2016, Issue 529 Beginning To Sound A Lot Like... ‘Tis the season for holiday music. For programmers, that means reaching back for a popular country classic and looking through the new releases for another perennial yuletide gem. Country Aircheck asked a few folks for their thoughts, and even for a personal favorite that may or may not be something they actually put into rotation. We’ll start with a Carol ... because Christmas. KFDI/Wichita APD/MD Carol Hughes Go-To Christmas Gold: “Christmas Cookies,” George Strait. “My audience loves it. They also love ‘Where Are You Christmas’ by Faith Hill, Vince Vance & The Valiants ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ and ‘Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy’ by Garth Brooks or Brad Paisley. Both versions are great.” New Future Staple: “’Ugly Christmas Ring The Bell: Cox/Houston staffers from Country KKBQ, Classic Sweater’ by Garth.

CA: How did you end up in the music business? MS: I worked as a CPA in New York for a big accounting firm. Back in that day with those jobs, you hoped one of your clients would hire you. I had a friend who worked on the acquisition of Island Records by Polygram, went there and basically had a job for me. I was 26 years old, got a $3,000 raise and I could wear jeans to work. I came home and said, “I think I want to do this.” I wasn’t a musician and didn’t want to be in the music business, necessarily. But I went to work for Matt Signore Island and ultimately Island/Def Jam on the business side. How did you meet Espo?

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

The first: this issue has a number of firsts for QROCC. In the third issue we had our first guest reviews, all from Cory Stephens; in this, we have another from our friend Cory, and a handful of new con- tributors. An opus on Christmas music theory from Grant Leuning opens the November section, alongside reviews elsewhere from Allyson Bace and Alex Pieschel. Speaking of whom: we also have our first dual review, with both Allyson Bace and Alex Pieschel taking a look at Conor Oberst’s and coming to slightly different conclusions. In addition to contributors, QROCC has our first interview. Leading up to this issue, I was contacted by Rjyan Kidwell about his new record . Rjyan, aka Cex aka Pubic Medusa of Worms, chopped and screwed some popular country tracks in a way that I think works really well. We talked about his history with music, his relationship with country music, and what kind of things he’d recognize to fans of country music. Not that country fans are the audience here (there isn’t an audience). Rjyan’s answers are very interesting and I really appreciate his taking the time to answer the questions.
