Fuckin like us! Dare to be one of us, girl Me gusta 443 Kristin Hersh (Atlanta, 1966) es la líder de la banda de culto “Throwing Muses” y posteriormente artista en solitario. Eran mediados de los 80 cuando, con apenas edad para que les permitieran entrar a sus propios conciertos, el grupo empezara a despuntar y finalmente fichara por 4AD (que después tendrían a los Pixies). Fue justo entonces cuando descubrió que sus manías, su insomnio y su psicodélico proceso de creación tenían detrás a un diagnosticado síndrome bipolar. Las cosas no fueron mejor al quedarse embarazada con un disco por grabar y un contrato sobre la mesa. Estas son las fascinantes memorias de Hersh, una bildungsroman personal de sótano mohoso y acordes desafinados a un volumen de tímpanos sangrantes, pura realidad tomada directamente de sus diarios de la época, ordenados y reescritos con la distancia del tiempo.

The offer was available for three months, after which the band released and commercialized the album, both digitally and in CD. In this paper, we use weekly music sales data in the US between 2004-2012 to examine the effect of Radiohead’s unorthodox strategy on the band’s al- bum sales. We find that Radiohead’s PYOP offer had no effect on the subsequent CD sales. Interestingly, it yielded higher digital album sales compared to a traditional release.

  • WORD Kristin 3
    For immediate release !15 July, 2014 Music is the WORD - Rock Musician Kristin Hersh Headlines !Christchurch Literary Festival Seminal indie-rock musician Kristin Hersh is coming to New Zealand to share her music and prose !at the WORD Christchurch Writers & Readers Festival, presented in association with The Press. Hersh will join literary heavyweights such as Eleanor Catton, Ruth Reichl and Meg Wolitzer at the multi-day festival, which runs from 27—31 August. She will perform her solo show WORDS + MUSIC on 30 August at the magnificent Transitional Cathedral and will make several other !appearances throughout the festival. WORD Christchurch’s Literary Director Rachael King, herself an ex-bass player with several Flying !Nun bands, has been a fan since she was 17. “I am thrilled to bring Kristin to Christchurch to help us redefine the parameters of what a literary festival can be. I had recently read her brilliant memoir, and saw that she was actively touring overseas, promoting both her music and her book. So I sent an invitation to New Zealand and !was overjoyed when she accepted.” In 1986, Throwing Muses was the first American band signed to the legendary label 4AD, which went on to acquire the Muses’ contemporaries, the Pixies and the Breeders. Since then, Hersh has forged a solo career, beginning with 1994’s Hips and Makers, formed 50 Foot Wave, and continued to play with the Throwing Muses; their latest album, Purgatory/Paradise, is !accompanied by a book of photos, essays, stories and lyrics. Hersh’s memoir Paradoxical Undressing tells the remarkable story of a year in her life when she was 17, playing in Throwing Muses, and was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder.

  • Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. Defrantz from Bronx's Hip-Hop To
    Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. DeFrantz From Bronx’s Hip-Hop to Bristol’s Trip-Hop As Tricia Rose describes, the birth of hip-hop occurred in Bronx, a marginalized city, characterized by poverty and congestion, serving as a backdrop for an art form that flourished into an international phenomenon. The city inhabited a black culture suffering from post-war economic effects and was cordoned off from other regions of New York City due to modifications in the highway system, making the people victims of “urban renewal.” (30) Given the opportunity to form new identities in the realm of hip-hop and share their personal accounts and ideologies, similar to traditions in African oral history, these people conceived a movement whose worldwide appeal impacted major events such as the Million Man March. Hip-hop’s enormous influence on the world is undeniable. In the isolated city of Bristol located in England arose a style of music dubbed trip-hop. The origins of trip-hop clearly trace to hip-hop, probably explaining why artists categorized in this genre vehemently oppose to calling their music trip-hop. They argue their music is hip-hop, or perhaps a fresh and original offshoot of hip-hop. Mushroom, a member of the trip-hop band Massive Attack, said, "We called it lover's hip hop. Forget all that trip hop bullshit. There's no difference between what Puffy or Mary J Blige or Common Sense is doing now and what we were doing…” (Bristol Underground Website) Trip-hop can abstractly be defined as music employing hip-hop, soul, dub grooves, jazz samples, and break beat rhythms.

Silvia Prada: The New Modern Hair CONTRIBUTOR PICKS Vintage Coiffes Inspire the Artist’s Playful New Investigation Into Masculinity in LA From the side-swept “executive contour” to the manicured pin-curls of the “Alexander,” New York-based illustrator Silvia Prada’s renderings of men’s hairstyles remind us how a cut can communicate authority, sex appeal and identity—all with a proper dose of humor and glam. The Spanish-born artist has created a series of smooth graphite renderings of crops popular with gentlemen from the 1950s to the 70s, resulting in a taxonomy of silhouettes that emphasizes the thoughtfulness and care with which men have cultivated their image over the decades. “I really enjoy the idea of an alpha male who is secure, masculine and clean-cut—and who knows how to carry his hair,” says Prada, whose father was a well-known hairdresser in León and who grew up surrounded by barbershop imagery. “Hair within context of identity is something quite primal, Treehotel: Recline in especially with men,” she explains.

  • Keep on Moving: Mighty Good Music Offerings
    Keep on Moving: Mighty Good Music Offerings The Mighty Good Boys – The God​-​King Gerald Ford Local folk rock outfit The Mighty Good Boys are out with their second album, The God-King Gerald Ford, and it’s a real banger, as the kids would say. The album represents a superb sophomore effort for the group, whose mature songwriting and ambitious musical arrangements set them apart in a crowded field of local rootsy rock ‘n’ roll bands. At times, Americana-style music seems to be at risk of becoming a fad, generified to the level of bands like the Lumineers. Like The Band, The MGB inject the traditional music template with their own brand of edge and electricity. Gerald Ford features decidedly more ambitious material than their debut album, It Ain’t Easy. They move fluidly from bar band blues rock to folk to sprawling, Crazy Horse-style guitar jams that show they’re putting it all on the line. Lyrically, the album is like multiple Dylan eras rolled into one, exploring themes of Christianity, morality, family and fractured relationships. The meditative “What’s a Man” deals with some age-old questions related to masculinity (“What’s a man to do without a woman to break his heart/what’s a man to prove without a woman to wrench his brain apart”), with an awesome, horn-laden outro to boot. “Jacob” is a beautiful pseudo-hymn ostensibly referencing the biblical story of Jacob and Esau, and “Oh God” wrestles with faith in the wake of tragedy. The album’s strengths lie in its simple presentation and imperfections; from the rawness and clutter come moments of utter clarity.
