OK GO With a career that includes award-winning videos, New York Times op-eds, a major We started this band nineteen years ago in Chicago, November, 1998. In our earliest label split and the establishment of a DIY trans-media mini-empire (Paracadute), days of touring we were thrilled to be on stage anywhere and everywhere, but there collaborations with pioneering dance companies and tech giants, animators and was a unique, much deeper excitement at our hometown shows in Chicago. It wasn’t Muppets, and an experiment that encoded their music on actual strands of DNA, just that our friends were in the crowd, it was that the music and the band itself felt OK Go continue to fearlessly dream and build new worlds in a time when creative connected to that place and that community. If OK Go was greater than the sum of boundaries have all but dissolved. its parts, it seemed that mysterious extra amount was derived from the city somehow. Formed as a quartet in Chicago in 1998 and relocated to Los Angeles three years later, Los Angeles has been our hometown for nearly 15 years now—much longer than OK Go (Damian Kulash, Tim Nordwind, Dan Konopka and Andy Ross) have spent Chicago was, for most of us—but tonight feels like our first real hometown show here. their career in a steady state of transformation. Released in the fall 2014 via their Because even though we’ve made plenty of friends here and reveled in the surfeit of own Paracadute/BMG, Hungry Ghosts is the band’s fourth full-length and the newest great music, OK-Go-The-Rock-Band has never felt like it came from this place. But addition to a curriculum vitae filled with experimentation in a variety of mediums. OK-Go-The-Guys-Who-Make-Those-Art-Project-Music-Videos; that OK Go was born here. Our unlikely journey into filmmaking started in Damian’s back yard in Koreatown Drawn from the same marching orders issued to big-hearted happiness creators as in 2005, and over the last decade we’ve crept farther from the norms of the music Queen, T. Rex, The Cars or Cheap Trick, and a lifetime of mixed tapes exchanged by industry and closer to something uniquely our own. Whatever that thing is—the thing lifelong music fans, Hungry Ghosts is a reaffirmation of the sounds and ideas that we’re fumbling to make or to become—that thing is decidedly Angeleno. brought the band together in the first place. Building on (and deconstructing) 15 years of pop-rock smarts, musical friendship, and band-of-the-future innovations, Hungry Our hope is that tonight’s show puts this fuller version of our band on stage; we’re Ghosts, offers melancholic fireworks (“The Writing’s on the Wall”), basement funk trying to dial back the decades-old conventions of rock shows and present to you a parties (“Turn Up The Radio”), IMAX-sized choruses (“The One Moment”), and space- more cohesive picture of what we’ve made, or what we’ve become.

    Pump Up the Jam: How Music in Brand Advertising Can Create Deeper Connections with Consumers Major Research Paper Pump Up the Jam: How Music in Brand Advertising Can Create Deeper Connections with Consumers Laura Andrejicka September 3, 2017 1 Pump Up the Jam: How Music in Brand Advertising Can Create Deeper Connections with Consumers AUTHOR’S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this MRP.

I understand that my MRP may be made electronically available to the public. 2 Pump Up the Jam: How Music in Brand Advertising Can Create Deeper Connections with Consumers ABSTRACT As our visual landscape becomes saturated with advertisements and media technologies, the advertising industry is using sound in more ways than ever before to open new acoustic channels between brands and consumers. Through analysis of scholarly literature, advertising industry publications, and three recent advertising campaigns and online commentary around those campaigns, this MRP highlights the way advertisers attempt to use sound and music as a “universal language,” as a way of accessing emotion, and as a technique for engineering responses in audiences. The scholarly literature review identifies two broad approaches to research on music in advertising: the first focuses on harnessing the power of sound to enhance the impact of advertising messages whereas the second approach contextualizes and critiques the use of sound in advertising.

Franklin can still shut down the competition with a breathtaking, gospel-trained grace and power. Here, she tackles tunes by her peers, adding royal luster to Gladys Knight’s ‘Midnight Train to Georgia’ and the Supremes’ ‘You Keep Me Hangin’ On.’ She saves extra energy for songs by younger neo-soul stars. She adds a welcome reggae feel to Alicia Keys’ ‘No One,’ and takes Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep’ to stratospheric heights.

  • THE FOUNTAINHEAD by Ayn Rand
    THE FOUNTAINHEAD by Ayn Rand To Frank O’Connor Copyright (c) 1943 The Bobbs-Merrill Company Copyright (c) renewed 1971 by Ayn Rand. All rights reserved. For information address The Bobbs-Merrill Company, a division of Macmillan, Inc., 866 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022. Introduction to the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition Many people have asked me how I feel about the fact that The Fountainhead has been in print for twenty-five years. I cannot say that I feel anything in particular, except a kind of quiet satisfaction. In this respect, my attitude toward my writing is best expressed by a statement of Victor Hugo: "If a writer wrote merely for his time, I would have to break my pen and throw it away." Certain writers, of whom I am one, do not live, think or write on the range of the moment. Novels, in the proper sense of the word, are not written to vanish in a month or a year. That most of them do, today, that they are written and published as if they were magazines, to fade as rapidly, is one of the sorriest aspects of today’s literature, and one of the clearest indictments of its dominant esthetic philosophy: concrete-bound, journalistic Naturalism which has now reached its dead end in the inarticulate sounds of panic. Longevity-predominantly, though not exclusively-is the prerogative of a literary school which is virtually non-existent today: Romanticism. This is not the place for a dissertation on the nature of Romantic fiction, so let me state--for the record and for the benefit of those college students who have never been allowed to discover it--only that Romanticism is the conceptual school of art.
