  • Jesse Dayton – Mixtape Volume 1
    Jesse Dayton – Mixtape Volume 1 “If you open your arms to the world, it’s amazing what will come back atcha,” drawls East Texas native, singer/songwriter/filmmaker/author Jesse Dayton, who has a bunch more homespun wisdoms where that came from. A veteran of more than 30 years as a musician, Dayton was discovered as a young teenager playing “a toilet dive” in his hometown of Beaumont by legendary club owner Clifford Antone, who booked him into his famed Austin venue, then immediately shifted him over to the honky-tonk Broken Spoke, where the likes of Willie Nelson, George Strait and Ernest Tubb have had residencies. “When I first got to Austin, everybody else sounded like Stevie Ray Vaughan, but I sounded more like Jerry Reed. I didn’t think I was cool, either, because this was before every punk sported that image of Johnny Cash flipping the rod.” Equally steeped in Texas/Louisiana blues, old-school country and punk-rock, Dayton is the music world’s best-kept secret, hiding in plain sight as a guitarist for Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Ryan Bingham and L.A. punk pioneers X, as well as touring alongside Social Distortion, the Supersuckers and John Doe. After releasing 11 studio albums and an EP as a solo artist, Dayton’s new album, Mixtape Volume 1, is a series of 10 cover songs he thoroughly makes his own, reinterpreting and revisiting them in a brand-new way. On the first track and single, Jackson Browne’s “Redneck Friend”, Dayton takes the song to a place where it would be eQually at home on the first two Eagles albums or as a Rolling Stones collaboration with Gram Parsons.

  • Marx, Windows Into the Soul: Surveillance and Popular Culture, Chapter A
    Marx, Windows Into the Soul: Surveillance and Popular Culture, Chapter A Culture and Contexts (intro from printed book) News stories don’t satisfy on a human level. We know that Guantanamo is still open, but do we really know what that means?’ The idea is to experience an emotional understanding, so it’s not just an intellectual abstraction. -Laura Poitras, filmmaker The structure, process and narrative units that make up most of the book rely on language in presenting facts and argument. In contrast, the emphasis in this unit is on forms of artistic expression. .Images and music are one component of the culture of surveillance that so infuses our minds and everyday life. The symbolic materials and meanings of culture are social fabrications (though not necessarily social deceptions). They speak to (and may be intended to create or manipulate) needs, aspirations, and fears. Culture communicates meaning and can express (as well as shape) the shared concerns of a given time period and place. Surveillance technology is not simply applied; it is also experienced by agents, subjects, and audiences who define, judge and have feelings about being watched or a watcher. Our ideas and feelings about surveillance are somewhat independent of the technology per se. As with the devil in Spanish literary tradition (image below) the artist can serve to take the lid off of what is hidden, revealing deeper meanings. Here the artist acts in parallel to the detective and the whistleblower: Marx, Windows Into the Soul: Surveillance and Popular Culture, Chapter A In the original version of the book I divided the cultural materials into two units.

  • Surveillance and Popular Culture II the New Surveillance in Visual Imagery
    Marx, Windows Into the Soul: Surveillance and Popular Culture, Chapter B Surveillance and Popular Culture II The New Surveillance in Visual Imagery Oh say can you see.... Francis Scott Key It's too bad for us 'literary' enthusiasts, but it's the truth nevertheless - pictures tell any story more effectively than words. W. Marston Moulton, Creator of Wonder Woman and Pioneer Inventor of the Polygraph This chapter continues considerations of popular culture and surveillance by looking at images and ideas seen in humor, illustrations, advertisements and art. It concludes with a consideration of some broader implications of surveillance messages. Some images are shown in the text and still others are at http://web.mit.edu/gtmarx/www/surv images.htm and in the supplementary material on children (Ch. 8) at http://press.uchicago.edu/sites/marx/ Humor Every joke is a small revolution. George Orwell I identify four types of surveillance humor: accommodation, machine-human frame breaks, dystopias, and reversals. The accommodation theme involves routinizing and folding into everyday activities new (and sometimes shocking) devices. The technology is domesticated and made familiar through its association with commonplace activities. It may serve as a functional alternative to traditional means with the cartoon for “Joe’s” in chapter 2 which offers various forms of assessment (loyalty, cholesterol) are at the familiar drive-thru business. With machine-human frame breaks technologies, humans, or animals “act” like each other and cross the boundaries of what is conventionally expected of their type. The humor lies in the juxtaposition of things we "know" that don't go together.

  • Buddy Holly's Beloved 1958 Ariel Cyclone Motorcycle to Be Sold At
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jaclyn Todisco 646-695-7053 [email protected] Buddy Holly’s Beloved 1958 Ariel Cyclone Motorcycle to Be Sold at Waylon Jennings Auction Remembering Waylon: An Unprecedented Auction Focusing on the Life Of Legendary Outlaw Country Musician Waylon Jennings NEW YORK (August 20, 2014) – Guernsey’s Auction House will resurrect the aura of outlaw country megastar Waylon Jennings on October 5 at the majestic Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix with an auction of more than 2,000 of the country legend’s personal belongings. The centerpiece of the spectacular collection is the limited edition 1958 Ariel Cyclone motorcycle that originally belonged to Jennings’ best friend and mentor Buddy Holly, and that was given to Jennings in 1979 after Holly’s death. The Ariel is beautifully preserved with just over 4,000 original miles, and has not been ridden in over twenty years, serving as a symbol of a pivotal time in American music history. A stunning auction catalogue showcases the many fabulous items included in the collection—including the centerpiece Ariel Cyclone—complete with detailed photographs and descriptions of each item. Auction catalogues will be available in late August; to pre-order a catalogue ($30 plus shipping), visit www.guernseys.com. Behind Holly’s Purchase On May 13th, 1958, three young and newly successful musicians – Buddy Holly, Joe Maudlin, and Jerry Allison – found their way to Ray Miller's Motorcycle Shop in Dallas, Texas. They had conceived a style of music redefining America's tastes, combining Country, Pop, Rockabilly, and Rhythm and Blues into a new sound all its own.
