The demonstration of no more than 25 people began quietly on the steps of 77 Massachusetts Ave. at II am, but picked up when four CAA members dressed in black robes carried a "coffin" to the steps. Other members waved signs saying "'No Blood Money." The coalition eventually attempted to reach members of the MIT Corporation,- which was holding its quarterly meeting on Friday. Demonstrators decided to try to speak with Corporation members having lunch at the Faculty Club on the sixth floor of the Alfred P. Sloan Building around noon. In the process, a struggle broke out on the sixth floor landing as two students tried to get past the Campus Police officers blocking the door to the sixth floor. Three faculty members at the scene prevented the struggle from becoming more physical. They attempted to get between the students and police. One of the three professors, acting Dean for Student Affairs Arthur C. Smith, said afterwards that he had been there to prevent 4tsomething ugly from happening." A CAA member who wished to remain anonymous said a Cor- poration member told her that after the Corporation heard the CAA chanting outside, they decided to discuss the issue in the Protesters with the Coalition Against Apartheid march down Memorial Drive. future.

  • Music Inspired by Astronomy, Organized by Topic an Annotated Listing by Andrew Fraknoi
    Music Inspired by Astronomy, Organized by Topic An Annotated Listing by Andrew Fraknoi © copyright 2019 by Andrew Fraknoi. All rights reserved. Used with permission. Borresen: At Uranienborg Cage: Atlas Eclipticalis Glass: Orion Connections between astronomy and music have been proposed since the time of the ancient Greeks. This annotated listing of both classical and popular music inspired by astronomy restricts itself to music that has connections to real science -- not just an astronomical term or two in the title or lyrics. For example, we do not list Gustav Holst’s popular symphonic suite The Planets, because it draws its inspiration from the astrological, and not astronomical, characteristics of the worlds in the solar system. Similarly, songs like Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” or the Beatles’ “Across the Universe” just don’t contain enough serious astronomy to make it into our guide. When possible, we give links to a CD and a YouTube recording or explanation for each piece. The music is arranged in categories by astronomical topic, from asteroids to Venus. Additions to this list are most welcome (as long as they follow the above guidelines); please send them to the author at: fraknoi {at} fhda {dot} edu Table of Contents Asteroids Meteors and Meteorites Astronomers Moon Astronomy in General Nebulae Black Holes Physics Related to Astronomy Calendar, Time, Seasons Planets (in General) Comets Pluto Constellations Saturn Cosmology SETI (Search for Intelligent Life Out There) Earth Sky Phenomena Eclipses Space Travel Einstein Star Clusters Exoplanets Stars and Stellar Evolution Galaxies and Quasars Sun History of Astronomy Telescopes and Observatories Jupiter Venus Mars 1 Asteroids Coates, Gloria Among the Asteroids on At Midnight (on Tzadik).

  • Mass Manslaughter: but Less Than a Felony,Sometimes an Ear Is Just an Ear: Baylies Band Releases Freudian Ears,RIP Andy Gill &Am
    Spring Growth: New albums and local shows kick the season off right The Z-Boys – Elwood Here’s (I’m assuming) a Motif exclusive: Elwood, the sophomore album from Newport’s The Z-Boys, hits the streets March 6. They’re a band known for their high-energy performances. With tempos and influences all over the place, it’s like a dump truck careening along the edge of a canyon road. Fans will be pleased that the new album manages to keep much of the mayhem intact. You may be familiar with the brand of “everything overload” the Newport band pours into the cauldron, throwing in blues rock, surf, Latin, country and more. Distilling a dynamic live band into an album format can be difficult. Studio constraints have the Z-Boys a bit more restrained, but without a lot of production fluff. “You Lie” is familiar blues rock territory about lying, cheating, etc, and “Don’t Have to Hang Around” is a folk-Mariachi tune mixed with a pleasant country vibe. “Too Slow” is a Steely Dan-like shuffle with a barrage of drum fills, and “Wanna Be Sure” features chunky, arena rock power chords. The downside with the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink method is there’s no real standout track. Elwood has the expected guitar fireworks present in every song, along with rock solid, tasteful bass playing. The drumming is enthusiastic if not overbearing at times, like Keith Moon on Lite Rock 105. I think the best times are when they just fuckin’ go for it full bore without bothering with a melody.
