  • 2011-11-25 1. När Det Är Spelning På Nuclear Nation Brukar Det Komma
    Nuclear Nation Quiz - 2011-11-25 1. När det är spelning på Nuclear Nation brukar det komma mycket folk. Det gör det ibland även annars och då kan det bli långa köer som ringlar sig runt Linköping. Under tidigt 2000-tal kunde NN- besökare vid ett festtillfälle slippa kötristeseen och gå direkt in på festen förutsatt att de uppfyllde ett krav. Vad skulle två NN-besökare göra för att få gå före i kön? A: Bära likadana kläder B: Kunna texten till Headhunter utantill och sjunga den tvåstämmigt C: Vara fastkedjade i varandra 2. Ni befinner er just nu på synthquiz med den anrika synthföreningen Nuclear Nation, men det var inte helt självklart att vi skulle heta just så. Vilket annat namn fanns som förslag? A: Eclipse B: Solaris C: SUN 3. Apoptygma Berzerk gjorde 98 en spelning i Leipzig från vilken i alla fall en liten del kom med på skivan APBL98. Trots att bandet körde på som hårdast med en Depeche-cover som folk verkade uppskatta, så fick spelningen ett snöpligt slut. Men vad hände? A: Det utbröt en mindre en brand i ljudteknikerbåset pga. underdimensionerade elkablar. B: Spelningen råkade äga rum samma kväll som kraftverket Holzkohle fallerade, vilket ledde till Leipzigs hittills största elavbrott. C: Trots att Apoptygma ville köra en låt till, så stängde polisen ner konserten i förtid. 4. En inställd spelning är också en spelning brukar man säga och ett band som skulle ha spelat på NN för ett antal år sedan, men som tyvärr fick ställa in p.g.a. sjukdom var... ja, vilket band då? A: Covenant B: VNV Nation C: Tyskarna från Lund 5: Ett band som dock har spelat på NN är LOWE.

  • The Sock Hop and the Loft: Jazz, Motown, and the Transformation of American Culture, 1959-1975
    The Sock Hop and the Loft: Jazz, Motown, and the Transformation of American Culture, 1959-1975 The Commerce Group: Kat Breitbach, Laura Butterfield, Ashleigh Lalley, Charles Rosentel Steve Schwartz, Kelsey Snyder, Al Stith In the words of the prolific Peter Griffin, “It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white. The only color that really matters is green.” Notwithstanding the music industry’s rampant racism, the clearest view of how African Americans transformed popular music between 1959 and 1975 is through the lens of commerce. Scrutinizing the relationship between creators and consumers opens up a broad view of both visual and auditory arts. The sources we selected range from cover art and an Andy Warhol silkscreen to books on the industry’s backroom deals and the Billboard Hot 100 to a retrospective Boyz II Men album on Motown’s history and an NPR special on Jimi Hendrix for kids. Combining both sight and sound, we offer online videos, a documentary on jazz, and blaxploitation films. The unparalleled abilities of Motown’s music to transcend racial barriers and serve as a catalyst for social change through an ever-widening audience necessitates a study of Berry Gordy’s market sense and the legacy of his “family” in popular culture from the 1970s through today. First, the ubiquity of the Motown sound meant that a young, interracial audience enjoyed music that had been largely exclusive to black communities. The power of this “Sound of Young America” crossover was punctuated by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s affirmation in his “Transforming a Neighborhood into a Brotherhood” address that radio’s capacity to bridge black and white youth through music and create “the language of soul” surpasses even Alexander the Great’s conquests.
